SMC - Model SMC-10 -4th Generation Motion Reference Units

Development over 20 years has produced a Motion Reference Unit for applications from Active Heave Compensation Crane systems, Dynamic Positioning systems, Helideck Monitoring and other various Roll, Pitch and Heave motion applications. The Motion Reference Unit data is suitable for any marine operation that requires attitude determination, motion compensation or dynamic positioning. The SMC Motion Sensors provide high accuracy motion measurements in all dynamic environments.

Motion sensors or MRUs determine the orientation of an object relative to an inertial frame of reference or another body. The SMC MRU uses 3 accelerometers and 3 solid state MEMS gyroscopes which are integrated with a built-in multi-core processor, to output accurate real time pitch, roll and heave data with high dynamic accuracy when accelerations are present, in industry standard formats.

All SMC-10 Range of Motion Sensors are individually calibrated and tested with the use of a rate table with a controlled temperature chamber.

The SMC Motion Reference Units communicates over multiple Ethernet TCP Client/Server, UDP and Modbus connections and RS232/RS422 Serial communication. The SMC MRU accepts serial velocity and heading inputs for aiding purposes and 1PPS for time aiding

The SMC Motion Sensor is supplied with a data connection unit, cables and windows-based user configuration software.
