IMU User Guide revision 3.1 SMC Ship Motion Control www.shipmotion.eu
1 INTRODUCTION
This user manual provides information about your SMC motion sensor and how to use it.
Motion sensors also known as IMUs or MRUs determine the orientation of an object relative to an
inertial frame of reference or another body. The motion sensor uses 3 accelerometers and 3
gyroscopes which are integrated with a DSP, Digital Signal Processor, to produce accurate pitch, roll
and heave information in an industry standard format. These measurements are suitable for any
maritime operation that requires attitude determination, motion compensation or dynamic
positioning. The SMC Motion sensors provide high accuracy motion measurements in all dynamic
environments.
The data output from the SMC motion sensor is sent over serial and Ethernet. As an option an analog
converter is available for V and mA outputs. The serial data can be read in any terminal software, the
SMCems, SMC IMU configuration software and many third-party applications.
The SMC motion sensors are used in a wide range of applications.
Some examples are:
- Hydrographic surveying for heave compensation using multi beam sonars, single beam
sonars and sub bottom profilers
- System integration for different type of monitoring systems such as Helideck Monitoring and
crane monitoring systems
- Active heave compensation for cranes and winches.
- Dynamic positioning systems
