ECV Series – 3D eCompass

The ECS series, standard electronic compass, represents the state-of-the-art in magnetic compassing


About the ECV Series – 3D eCompass

The ECV eCompass Series provides stable azimuth, pitch, and roll measurements in dynamic conditions. An enhanced version of our ECG Series, the ECV includes a full suite of precision, 3-axis, MEMS sensors and an optional dual-axis electrolytic tilt sensor, for the ultimate in near-level accuracy. A high performance microcontroller orchestrates the fast measurement sequence, sensor calibration adjustments, frame-of-reference translations, trigonometric calculations, and advanced signal processing required to provide accurate heading, pitch, and roll outputs.

Features:

  • Wide Operating Temperature Range
  • RS232 & RS485 Outputs Available
  • Fast Response
  • Low Power
  • Two Independent Serial Channels
  • In-System Configuration & Test
  • Plastic or Aluminum Enclosure Options

Applications:

  • Unmanned Vehicles
  • Robotics
  • Platform Stabilization
  • Excavation Machinery
