The rugged SMX.igs-a series inclination sensors offer users full IMU functionality with functional safety and are available in PL b and SIL2 / PL d versions. Acceleration, rotation rate and inclination values are measured and output in all three spatial axes.

Various configurable filter algorithms are available to improve measurement stability, depending on the sensor type, including low-pass filters such as Butterworth and critically damped, which are particularly suitable for applications such as mobile machinery. In addition, the Kalman filter can be activated for dynamic applications.

The measured values are output via a CAN, CANopen or SAE J1939 interface (PL b variant); for SIL2 / PL d variants, the output is via a CANopen safety interface. The measuring range is freely selectable.

In addition, STW's open source software platform openSYDE is supported, allowing the sensor to be quickly and easily integrated into existing and new applications. Preconfigured projects and dashboards help to get the SMX.igs-a sensors up and running quickly and easily. The rugged zinc die-cast housing with an M12 connector/socket combination completes the sensor.
