DMU10 Inertial Measurement Unit

Small module or OEM version

PEWATRON is pleased to introduce the new low-cost inertial unit from Silicon Sensing. DMU10 provides three axes of angular rate and linear acceleration and two measurements of temperature. The output message includes message counter, built-in test results, delta theta and delta velocity information. Data is output on an industry standard RS422 interface for ease of integration.

DMU10 is engineered using Silicon Sensing’s unique MEMS VSG5 ring gyroscope and capacitive accelerometer technologies to provide benchmark performance, size and affordability. It contains three fifth generation piezoelectric (PZT) gyroscopes and six accelerometers. Outputs from dual ‘back-to-back’ accelerometers per axis are averaged to improve precision and reduce uncorrelated noise.
It is available uncalibrated, calibrated at room temperature or calibrated over the full operating temperature range. DMU10 is also supplied either as an OEM or packaged unit.

An evaluation kit is also available in our online-shop.

This product is intended for machine control, antenna and platform stabilisation, precision agriculture, autonomous vehicles and ROVs, attitude measurement systems, personal navigation and GPS aiding.
