Description
This product is end of line and has been replaced by the LPMS-CU2 model. There is limited stock available.
The LPMS-CU Motion Sensor CAN bus and USB version is a miniature inertial measurement unit (IMU) and attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). The unit is very versatile, performing accurate, high speed orientation and displacement measurements. By the use of three different MEMS sensors (3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer) drift-free, high-speed orientation data around all three axes is achieved. The included temperature and barometric pressure sensors allow accurate height measurements. The LPMS-CU can be connected to a host system either via a CAN bus, or USB connection. High data transfer rates allow sampling rates of up to 500 Hz. The LPMS-CU fits both machine and human motion measurements for size and cost sensitive applications.
