Xsens is adding a new GNSS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) module, the MTi-670G, and a rugged Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), the MTi-630R to the MTi 600-series.
The complete MTi 600-series line-up now offers a flexible and diverse choice of products which is capable of meeting a broad range of application requirements. The rugged products added to MTi 600-series are suited for use in harsh environments such as maritime, mining and agricultural applications.
The MTi-670G and MTi630R are housed in an IP68-rated aluminum enclosure which measures 40.9mm x 56.5mm x 36.8mm, and which is highly vibration- and shock-proof. Both modules feature standard CAN and RS232 interfaces and an output data rate of up to 400Hz.
The MTi-670G GNSS/INS module includes a high-performance u-blox ZED F9 GNSS receiver and 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 sensor can be easily integrated into system designs thanks to its support for Xbus and standard NMEA and CAN protocols, and the provision of Xsens’ popular MT Software Suite for developers. The suite includes the MT Manager GUI for Windows or Linux operating systems and a useful Magnetic Field Mapper function.
The MTi-630R AHRS is a ruggedized version of the MTi-630 AHRS and offers the same high performance, including roll/pitch measurement accuracy of ±0.2°, and heading accuracy of ±1°. Like the MTi-670G, the MTi-630R is easy to integrate into end product designs thanks to the MT Software Suite, which also includes drivers for the LabVIEW, ROS and GO development languages.
A s with all MTi 600-series products, these new modules offer numerous differentiating features:
- Precise factory calibration of MTI
- High immunity to magnetic interference
- Adaptive firmware operation to optimize performance in various types of applications
- Out-of-the-box operation with Xsens’ popular MTi development (DK) or starter kits (SK)
