Overview of the IMU383 Series Inertial Measurement Unit
This manual describes the use of ACEINNA’s IMU383 and is intended to be used as a detailed
technical reference and operating guide. ACEINNA’s IMU383 Series products combine the latest
in high-performance commercial MEMS (Micro-electromechanical Systems) sensors and digital
signal processing techniques to provide a small, cost-effective alternative to existing IMU
systems.
The IMU383 Series is ACEINNA’s fifth generation of MEMS-based Inertial Systems, building
on over a decade of field experience, and encompassing thousands of deployed units and millions
of operational hours in a wide range of land, marine, airborne, and instrumentation applications.
It is designed for OEM applications.
At the core of the IMU383 Series is a trio of rugged 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) MEMS inertial
sensor clusters. Each 6-DOF MEMS inertial sensor cluster includes three axes of MEMS angular
rate sensing and three axes of MEMS linear acceleration sensing. These sensors are based on
rugged, field proven silicon bulk micromachining technology. Each sensor within the cluster is
individually factory calibrated for temperature and non-linearity effects during ACEINNA’s
manufacturing and test process using automated thermal chambers and rate tables.
The differentiating feature of the IMU383 Series is the trio of redundant 6-DOF MEMS sensor
clusters. This redundancy has two direct benefits:
1) Combining multiple sensor reading improves the noise characteristics of the output signal
2) Using more than one sensor enables the unit to operate through a single sensor-chip
failure by detecting and voting out the failed part. Failures include stuck or railed
readings as well as sustained inconsistency between the three sensor sets.
Another unique feature of the IMU383 Series is the extensive field configurability of the units.
This field configurability allows the IMU383 Series of Inertial Systems to satisfy a wide range of
applications and performance requirements with a single mass produced hardware platform. The
basic configurability includes parameters such as baud rate (UART), clock speed (SPI), packet
type, and update rate, and the advanced configurability includes the defining of custom axes.
The IMU383 Series module is packaged in a lightweight, rugged, unsealed metal enclosure that is
designed for cost-sensitive commercial and OEM applications. The unit can be configured to
output data over a SPI Port or a low level UART serial port. The port choice is user controlled by
grounding the appropriate pin on the connector. ACEINNA’s NAV-VIEW 3.X Windows
application supports using the unit low level UART data port NAV-VIEW 3.X is a powerful
Windows-based operating tool that provides complete field configuration, diagnostics, charting of
sensor performance, and data logging with playback.
