OMI-2 basics
2.1
Introduction
The OMI-2 is a combined optical receiver and machine interface which is designed to be mounted within the machine's working envelope. The OMI-2 operates using a modulated optical transmission mode and is compatible with machine probes that also operate in modulated mode.
Power supply
The OMI-2 can draw its supply from the CNC machine's nominal 12 Vdc to 30 Vdc supply. The maximum supply current is 100 mA when the OMI-2 is transmitting and 40 mA when the OMI-2 is receiving. The values quoted are based on a 24 Vdc and assume all outputs are open circuit.
CAUTION: This equipment will only perform to specification if the power supply 0 V is connected to the machine ground (star point).
Input voltage ripple
The input voltage ripple must not cause the voltage to fall below 12 V or rise above 30 V.

CAUTION: Exercise caution when using error or probe SSR in N/O mode as a wiring fault could cause a loss of error condition and therefore could result in a non-fail safe condition.

Switch-on/switch-off

OMI-2 basics

Switch-on/switch-off method

The OMI-2 operates using either optical on/optical off as the switch-on/switch-off method or auto start.

Optical on/optical off is available with all

2.7

Renishaw's OMP range of spindle probes and

the optical tool setter (OTS). Time out, spin on/

spin off and shank on/shank off options are also

compatible with the OMI-2.

Auto start
Auto start selection causes the system to send a start signal at 1 second intervals, and should only be used when there is no available output from the machine control. In this mode, ensure start signals cannot be received by probes in the tool changer, on the machine table (e.g. OTS) or on other machines. Auto start is not recommended for use with the OTS.

Start-up times
In normal operation the start-up time for a modulated probe (as reported by the OMI-2 error signal) is 410 ms max. for kinematic probes and 1 second max. for strain gauge probes.
When turning the probe off and back on, allow 1 second between machine start inputs.

CAUTIONS:
The power supply 0 V should be terminated at the machine ground (star point). If a negative supply is used then the negative output must be fused.
The dc supply to this equipment must be derived from a source which is approved to IEC/BS/EN 60950-1.

System installation

Cable termination
A ferrule should be crimped onto each cable wire for a more positive connection at the terminal box.

Standard cable variants

3.3

The OMI-2 standard polyurethane cables are 8 m (26 ft) and 15 m (49.2 ft) long.

Please contact Renishaw for other cable lengths.

Cable specification
Ø7.5 mm (0.29 in), 13 core screened cable, each core 18 × 0.1 mm.

Cable sealing
Coolant and dirt are prevented from entering the OMI-2 by the cable sealing gland. The OMI-2 cable can be protected against physical damage by fitting a flexible conduit if required.
A recommended flexible conduit is AnametTM Sealtite HFX (5/16 in) polyurethane.
A conduit kit is available (see Section 6, "Parts list").

Cable
Flexible conduit

Adaptor A
Conduit termination piece Plastic olive
Nut B

CAUTIONS:
Failure to adequately protect the cable can result in system failure due to either cable damage or coolant ingress through cores into the OMI-2.

NOTE: Conduit bulkhead fittings require a clearance hole for an M16 thread.

Failure due to inadequate cable protection will invalidate the warranty.
When tightening or loosening nut B on the conduit, ensure that torque is only applied between A and B.

1. Slide nut B and the plastic olive onto the conduit.
2. Screw the conduit termination piece into the end of the conduit.

3. Fit the conduit to adaptor A and tighten nut B.

4.1

Maintenance

Cleaning the window

You may undertake the maintenance routines described in these instructions.
Further dismantling and repair of Renishaw equipment is a highly specialised operation, which must be carried out at an authorised Renishaw Service Centre.

Wipe the window with a clean cloth to remove machining residue. This should be done on a regular basis to maintain optimum transmission.

Equipment requiring repair, overhaul or attention under warranty should be returned to your supplier.

CAUTION: The OMI-2 has a glass window, handle with care if broken to avoid injury.

Removing the OMI-2 window

Fitting the OMI-2 window

Maintenance

It is not necessary to remove the OMI-2 from the machine when adjusting the switch or installing replacement parts.

1. Before fitting the window, check for any damage to screws or scratch marks which could prevent sealing.

The window may be removed and replaced as

1. Clean the OMI-2 to ensure no debris enters the unit.
2. Remove the four cover screws, using a 2.5 mm A/F hexagon key. Two screws are short and two are long. Two of the cover holes are threaded A, and two are plain B.
3. The window fits tightly on the OMI-2 body, and is removed using the two long screws, which are inserted into the threaded holes A.

5. Place the window complete with the O-ring onto the OMI-2 body.

NOTE: The O-ring should be lightly lubricated with grease.

Tighten each screw a few turns at a time to pull the window up evenly. When it is clear of the body, remove the window and screws completely.

6. Insert the long screws into holes E. and tighten each screw a few turns at a time, to pull the window down evenly. There may be some resistance due to some compression of air trapped inside the body.

Fault-finding

5.1

Symptom

Cause

Action

The probe fails to switch on when in Optical Start mode or fails to switch off when in Optical Stop mode.

Installation / CNC program fault.
The probe is out of the start range.

Correct the M­code wiring and/or the CNC program.
Change the CNC program to bring the probe within the start range of the OMI-2 and ensure that the appropriate start range is selected.

The transmission beam is obstructed.

Clean the OMI-2 window and remove any obstructions.

Incompatible probe / probe transmission setting.

Change the probe or probe setting to modulated PROBE1.

Incorrect Machine Start setting.

Reconfigure the Machine Start setting SW2.

Dead probe batteries.

Replace the probe batteries.

Optical interference is blocking the start signal.

Check the OMI-2 visual diagnostics. For instructions describing how to check the visual diagnostics (see "OMI-2 visual diagnostics" on page 2.2).
Remove the source of interference or reposition the OMI-2 such that interfering light does not shine onto the OMI-2 window or probe window.

The probe is triggered when OMI2 is set to Level Machine Start. A signal is being received from a probe on an adjacent machine tool.
Installation / CNC program fault.

Check the signal condition LED. Change the CNC program to move the probe into the reception range of the OMI-2 and ensure the appropriate reception range is selected.
