New Rugged MTi-670G and MTi-630R Modules Released For Harsh Environments
Offering a flexible and diverse choice of products capable of meeting a broad range of application requirements, the motion tracking modules manufacturer, Xsens has added two new technologically advanced products, MTi-670G and MTi-630R to its MTi 600-series. Both the modules feature standard CAN and RS232 interfaces and an output data rate of up to 400Hz.
The new GNSS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) module, the MTi-670G, and a rugged Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), the MTi-630R are housed in an IP68-rated aluminum enclosure that measures 40.9mm x 56.5mm x 36.8mm. Moreover, the packaging is high vibration and shock-proof.
The MTi-670G GNSS/INS module comes with a high-performance u-blox ZED F9 GNSS receiver and the sensor fusion firmware in the module combines the receiver’s inputs with integrated 3D attitude (tilt, inclination) and heading measurements to provide absolute positioning accuracy of better than ±1m. The support for Xbus and standard NMEA and CAN protocols, provision of Xsens’ popular MT Software Suite for developers are the key features of the module. The suite includes the MT Manager GUI for Windows or Linux operating systems and a useful Magnetic Field Mapper function.
On the other hand, the MTi-630R AHRS module offers high performance, including roll/pitch measurement accuracy of ±0.2° and heading accuracy of ±1°. The MT Software Suite that includes drivers for the LabVIEW, ROS, and GO development languages make it easier for the developers to integrate into end-product designs.
