Introduction – Chapter 2
2Introduction
The Gyro HG G-84300ZC measures the angle of one rotation axis and permanently
outputs this angle via its interface, CAN/CANopen®. This information can be used
by a superordinate vehicle controller (not part of the scope of supply) to calculate the
current position of all types of vehicles, thus using the Gyro as part of an inertial nav-
igation system.
Figure 1 Photo HG G-84300ZC
The device is based on the latest generation of the MEMS technology. Compared to
other gyroscopes, it offers advantages like cost-performance ratio, low current con-
sumption, excellent robustness and long durability. In addition to the high quality
technology the Gyro offers an integrated Drift Compensation algorithm, that can be
used to further increase the accuracy of the angle measurement (see section 4.1 on
page 12).

12 Chapter 4 – Drift Compensation / Angle Reset
4Drift Compensation / Angle Reset
4.1 Drift Compensation
Inherent to the technology of the Gyro is a drift. This drift depends on different vari-
ables and changes over time. In order to reduce the effect of the drift on the angle
calculation, the Gyro can perform a Drift Compensation whenever the vehicle is not
moving. It then calculates the amount of the current drift and – when the vehicle is
moving again – compensates the influence of this drift.
As the accuracy of the angle measurement improves drastically when the Gyro can
use drift compensation it is advisable to let it perform the compensation calculation
as often as possible.
Figure 4 Drift compensation process
Using the inputs the vehicle controller (e.g. PLC) can tell the Gyro to activate the drift
compensation calculation whenever the vehicle is not moving. The PLC can then
check that drift compensation is active via the corresponding outputs. The user sees
it from a LED. The PLC then waits until the Gyro signals via the CAN Status Byte that
the drift compensation calculation is completed.
The PLC can either turn off drift compensation when the OK signal comes or after a
defined interval. However make sure that it is turned off before the vehicle starts
moving again no matter whether the compensation calculation is finished or not. If
possible, let the vehicle stand still until the compensation calculation is completed.
NOTICE
Incorrect Drift Compensation
If drift compensation is turned on while the vehicle is moving an incorrect drift
compensation is calculated, thus deteriorating the following angle measurement.
Make sure that drift compensation is turned off whenever the vehicle is
moving (see below).

Drift Compensation / Angle Reset – Chapter 4
4.2 Angle reset
The drift changes the absolute angle measurement over time. That means that if the
vehicle crosses the same place again after some time, the absolute angle output will
be different from the last time. This doesn‘t influence the validity of the actual angle
calculation. However it may be desirable to reset the angle to 0o when the vehicle
reaches defined points on the course. In order to do so the vehicle controller (e.g.
PLC) can trigger the Set angle to 0 command (CAN).
Figure 5 Angle reset process
Via CAN set the corresponding bit to 1, which also immediately sets the response in
the status bit to 1. At the same time the Gyro resets the angle. Then set the CAN bit
back to 0 until you want to reset the angle again. The status bit remains set as longs
as the trigger bit is set.

14 Chapter 5 – Configuration via USB
5Configuration via USB
5.1 USB Interface
The 5 pin connector X1 can be used to establish a connection with a PC. The PC
needs to have a USB interface.
Figure 6 Connection example: USB connection with a PC
Götting offers the optional connection box M12-5-8-USB HG G-20960 that can be
used to interconnect the Gyro and the PC. The box allows to connect the gyro using
standard M12 cable.
You can find more information on the connection box at
http://goetting-agv.com/components/20960
The USB chip in the Gyro is addressed as a virtual serial interface (virtual COM Port).
Thus devices with USB interfaces can be configured using the same terminal pro-
grams (see below) that are used for RS 232 connections. Usually the virtual COM
Port driver is installed automatically in current versions of Microsoft® Windows®.
If the Gyro is not automatically detected as a virtual COM port after establishing the
connection the STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver (STSW-STM32102) has to be in-
stalled manually.
The driver may be downloaded from the following address:
http://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32102.html
5.2 Terminal Program
Every compatible terminal program that supports the ANSI emulation can be
used. Examples are HyperTerminal® and Tara Term®. HyperTerminal used to be part
of the scope of supply of earlier versions of Microsoft® Windows®. Additionally it
can be downloaded from the following address:
https://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/
Start the terminal program on the PC and connect the Gyro with the PC (see above).
As soon as the connection is established successfully the Gyro‘s main menu accord-
ing to section 5.3 on page 15 appears in the terminal program.
Usually the port COM1 is used for the connection. This depends on the configuration
of the PC‘s interfaces. If another port is to be used then adjust it as follows (Hyper-
Terminal®):

5.3 Terminal Output In Monitor Mode
The terminal output is different depending on whether the CAN interface is set to
CAN Standard or CANopen®. This can be changed via the monitor program.
5.3.1 Terminal Output for CAN Standard
Figure 7 Screenshot: Terminal output in monitor mode / CAN Standard
Up to the dividing line the terminal shows the firmware version and status outputs.
Below the following functions can be called:
 Reset angle to 0° (see 4.2 on page 13)
 Activate or deactivate drift compensation (see 4.1 on page 12)
The two functions above are not used during normal operation of the monitor pro-
gram. They serve for the initial commissioning at Götting.
The following screenshot shows the drift compensation process inside the monitor
program. A percentage value counts up to 100 % then the drift is below the set
threshold defined by the parameter Drift margin (see below) and the drift compen-
sation can be deactivated again.
