Development over 15 years has produced a Motion Sensor suitable for applications from Active Heave Crane systems, Dynamic Positioning systems, Helideck Monitoring and other various Roll, Pitch and Heave motion applications.
High performance MEMS, rate gyros and accelerometers offering low noise and high accuracy as well as providing excellent vibration performance and reliability are used.
Gyroscopes, Accelerometers and Magnetometers are mounted in three axis component groups. The signals are processed in a Kalman filter inside the motion sensor to provide output value for acceleration, attitude and angle with limited influence from accelerations, noise and other inaccuracies.
Heave is computed from integration of the acceleration into a linear position. The integration is further processed and filtered for an accurate heave measurement during dynamic environment.

The SMC Motion Sensor transmits data over Ethernet UDP and Modbus TCP/IP and RS232/RS422 Serial communication.
Inputs for heading and velocity is available when required for aiding during vessel turns.
The SMC string availabilities includes standard protocols used in the marine industry along Client Custom specific protocols that SMC has developed with our partners.
All available protocols, including among many others PSMCC, TSS1, EM3000 and PRDID, are user selectable from the SMC Configuration software. More information SMC IMU Manual
Unique to the SMC MRUs is the SMC Active heave compensation AHC encoder feedback.
Developed in conjunction with Bosch Rexroth drives the SMC AHC system accepts dynamic crane encoder position data, enabling continual calculation of the selected active heave measurement data to provide live motion compensation during critical marine crane operations.
Modbus TCP/IP communication implementation done with ABB enables seamless integration with the ABB ACS880 drives for new and Retrofit AHC applications.
SMC's product development and design philosophy is to produce technologically advanced, durable yet uncomplicated products.
The SMC MRUs are produced in Titanium suitable with its high strength, low density and corrosion resistance for the Marine environments the motion sensor works in.
The SMC Motion Reference Units have identical functionality and communications with different performance specifications. The IMU-10 series has higher performance sensing elements for greater accuracy.
Selection of which sensor is suitable for an application depends upon the Accuracy Required, international standards specified, how dynamic the operational environment will be as well as the projects budget.
The Surface models of the SMC Motion Reference Units have an IP66 rating for outdoor water protection.
Submersible depth rated IP68 options are available rated for 30m respectively 1000m.
Each motion sensor is calibrated prior to delivery. The motion sensors are thoroughly tested in the SMC facilities before and during the calibration process. The calibration is performed in a 2-axis rate table with a temperature controlled chamber. The calibration process is fully automated and runs for three days with a controlled temperature environment over the full temperature range.
All motion sensors are calibrated individually and the readings from the accelerometers and angular rate gyroscopes are verified for alignment, linearity and temperature, to ensure they meet the performance specifications.
