Radio Module Machine - transmits and receives signals
between machine control and Radio Module Probe (RMP3).
Signals received by the RMM2, pass via coaxial cable to the MI16
machine interface, which decodes and converts them into solid state
relay (SSR) outputs for use by the machine tool’s CNC controller.
An M code causes the OM16 optical transmission module, to send
probe switch on/off signal to the RPM3.
The MI16 draws 24V DC power from the CNC machine and presents
a load of up to 500mA. If this supply is not available from the machine
power can be supplied by a Renishaw PSU3 power supply unit.
