RCU CS C-3
CAUTION: It is recommended that the system configurator level password is
changed from the default since this level allows access to parameters that can
affect system safety.
In the event that an access password is forgotten, contact a Renishaw support
representative who will restore access by supplying a recovery password.
C.1.3 Operating modes
The RCU10 has two main modes of operation:
Configuration This mode is used to configure the RCU10(s) individually or as part of
a network.
WARNING: In this mode the RCU10 hardware is essentially
‘offline’. The machine or axis should not be enabled. In this
mode the RCU10 error output signal (24 V error) is asserted
so that the controller can disable motion.
Compensation This is the normal operating mode once configuration has been
completed.
The RCU CS software is used to switch between these modes using the Mode button on
the button bar. The current operating mode can be seen on the status bar at the bottom
of the RCU CS screen, and the RCU10 will display the following on the front panel
display:
