System description
2.8 PHC10-2 probe head controller
The PH10 series of motorised probe heads can be used in conjunction with either the
PHC10-2 controller or the UCC (universal CMM controller). The PHC10-2 incorporates
an integral power supply for the head, manages all head functions and communicates
via a suitable interface with the CMM computer. A separate probe interface is required
for probe signal conditioning when using the PHC10-2. If using the UCC, the PHC1050
daughtercard takes its power from the host unit.
The PHC10-2 is available in two versions:
• PHC10-2RS232
• PHC10-2IEEE
