Descripción del producto

STIM**0 is a high performance and ruggedInertial Measurement Unit (IMU) comprised of 3 highly accurate MEMS gyros, 3 high stability accelerometers and 3 inclinometers. The IMU is factory calibrated and compensated for temperature effects over the full temperature operating range. The STIM**0 is based upon Sensonor's proven gyro sensor technology in production for more than a decade, and its high precision Gyro Modules are already designed into many applications worldwide. Another advantage of the Sensonor MEMS technology is the very low vibration and shock sensitivity in any direction.

 

Range and features

 

STIM**0 full-scale angular rate range is ±**0°/s and the output is capped at ±**0°/s. Standard acceleration range is ±*0g. Axis misalignment of as little as 1mrad is achieved by electronic axis alignment. STIM**0 requires a single *5Vdc power supply and has a digital serial RS**2 interface.

STIM**0 offers several user selectable output formats and sample rates for gyro and accelerometer data:

 Angular Rate

Device configurations and self-diagnostics

 

A reliable RISC ARM microcontroller enables easy device configuration and programming. The user selectable Service Mode allows for setting the output unit format, sample frequency, LP filter cut-off frequency, RS**2 transmission bit rate and line termination. Service Mode also enables single measurements on demand, and to access detailed diagnostics information.

 

Evaluation tools

 

STIM**0 evaluation tools supporting PCI or USB connectivity are available. The evaluation tools offer easy access to measurement data and configuration of the IMU. It supports data sampling at alternative rates, graphical presentation, and data logging to file. The evaluation tools contain a RS**2 interface for USB or PCI hardware setup, all necessary cabling, and PC software.

 

Application areas

 

The STIM**0 IMU is well suited for stabilization, guidance and navigation applications in Industrial, Aerospace and Defense markets. It is a crucial building block for inertial navigation systems in UAVs, AUVs, AGVs, UGVs and ROVs, robotics, and more, and offers the designer an ITAR free alternative. In many applications, STIM**0 can competitively replace IMU's based on Fiber Optic Gyros (FOGs) and improve system performance with respect to robustness, reliability, size, weight, power and cost.
