.7 Upgrading older probe systems to TP200
(retrofitment)
To successfully retrofit a TP200 probe system, the following points will need to be
considered:
• The CMM controller must service the PICS - PDAMP control signal. Upgrade of the
controller may be necessary if this signal is not available.
• The probe signal wires from the M8 connector on the probe head must be routed
directly to the PI 200 interface. If an in-line interface for kinematic switching probes
(TP1/TP2/TP6) is present, it must be removed.
• The signal wire resistance must be less than 5 ohms per conductor.
• Some experimentation with typical stylus arrangements may be necessary to obtain
a satisfactory setting for the PDAMP/HALT filter delay time. The trigger/reseat
debounce time and other configuration options will also need to be set. Refer to the
‘configuration switches’ section for more information.
• If upgrading from TP2, measurement programs may need to be changed to suit the
length of the TP200, which is 5 mm longer than the TP2.
• If upgrading from TP2, star or offset (cranked) stylus arrangements will require a
minimum 5 mm extension piece to be added for use with the TP200.
• If cables other than those supplied by Renishaw are used, equivalent cable
screening and connector bonding must be used to maintain compliance with the
EMC standards.
