Partnering RMPs using ReniKey
(Recommended)
ReniKey is a Renishaw machine macro cycle. It
enables up to four RMPs to be partnered with
the RMI-Q without the need to power the RMI-Q
off and then back on for each of the probes
being partnered. Please refer to the ReniKey
programming manual for instructions on how
to use ReniKey with your machine's controller.
Alternatively, refer to www.renishaw.com.
Removing the RMP from the RMI-Q
An RMP must be cleared from the RMI-Q when
it is removed from the system. The probe number
is cleared from the RMI-Q by repeating the
partnering procedure whilst the corresponding
machine start input is held high. The RMI-Q
will then display that the probe number was
cleared. Alternatively, the RMP can be cleared via
application of the ReniKey machine macro cycle.
Please refer to the ReniKey programming manual
on how to use ReniKey with your machine's
controller. Alternatively, refer to www.renishaw.
com. ReniKey can also be used to clear all probe
numbers at the same time. If the cleared RMP
is to be used again with the RMI-Q, it must be
re-partnered.
Changing RMP position
If, during partnering with all procedures, the
RMI-Q acquires an RMP that is already stored
under a different probe number, the RMP will be
cleared from its current location and stored under
the new probe number selected for acquisition.
