System description
2.2 PHC10-2 probe head controller
The PH10 series of motorised probe heads can only be used in conjunction with the PHC10-2 controller.
The PHC10-2 incorporates an integral power supply for the PH10 series of heads, manages all head
functions and communicates via a suitable interface with the CMM’s computer. The PHC10-2 does not
manage probe functions as it passes signals out to interfaces for this.

The PHC10-2 is available in two versions:
• PHC10-2 RS232 (see section 4)
• PHC10-2 IEEE (see section 5)
