VN-100 Rugged IMU/AHRS

VN-100 Rugged IMU/AHRS

The VN-100 Rugged is a miniature, high-performance Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS). Incorporating the latest MEMS sensor technology, the VN-100 combines 3-axis accelerometers, 3-axis gyros, 3-axis magnetometers, a barometric pressure sensor and a 32-bit processor. Along with providing calibrated sensor measurements, the VN-100 also computes and outputs a real-time 3D orientation solution that is continuous over the complete 360 degrees of motion.

Description

SENSOR SUMMARY
  • Continuous attitude solution over the complete 360° range of operation

  • VectorNav Processing Engine (VPE) 2.0 for disturbance rejection, adaptive filtering, dynamic filter tuning

  • Inputs for external magnetometers or velocity measurements (Airspeed, GPS) 

  • Hard/Soft Iron Compensation 

  • On-board World Magnetic and Gravity Reference Models 

  • Solid-State MEMS inertial sensors

  • Available with standard (@ 25°C) or full temperature compensation (-40°C to 85 °C)

  • All sensors are individually calibrated for bias, scale factor, misalignment, and temperature over full operating range (-40°C to 85 °C)

  • Up to 1 kHz IMU Data

  • 400 Hz attitude data - Yaw/Pitch/Roll

  • Coning and sculling integrals (ΔV’s, Δθ’s)

  • Data output format: ASCII (VectorNav), Binary (VectorNav)

  • VectorNav Control Center freely available for easy setup, configuration and logging

  • ITAR-Free
