Probe and IU80 power supply

The IU80 must be provided with two power supplies.

+9 V to +18 V @ 300 mA max to supply the SP80 probe and

+4.75 V to 5.25 V @ 1 A max to supply the IU80.

Power must originate from either the OEM's controller or from a Renishaw CC6 counter card.

IU80 output signal format

The signals produced by IU80 are in EIA-422-A differential square wave format and in quadrature for each probe axis. The sign definition for the signals is a positive count when DigA leads DigB.

SP80 direction of travel

The IU80 provides a minimum edge separation of 90 ns between any of the edges of a pair of quadrature signals.
