GPS to CAN with 3D Inertial Sensor and UDR

This standalone GPS-to-CAN module produces GNSS position and 3D inertial data (via a gyroscope and accelerometer) and outputs it via configurable CAN bus frames.

The module supports ‘Untethered Dead Reckoning’, meaning that even if the GNSS signal is lost entirely, the module can deliver continuous positioning through IMU-based estimates (no external inputs required).

Customer can integrate the module with any CAN bus, e.g. vehicle networks or CAN hardware. As an example, Customer can use it as a plug and play add-on module for the CANedge.

The Antenna is Included.

Position Enhanced by “Sensor Fusion”

The module ouputs 1 Hz position and satellite status. It supports GPS/Galileo/BeiDou/GLONASS and uses sensor fusion to deliver high precision with UDR support (Untethered Dead Reckoning).

Speed

Speed data is useful in e.g. fleet telematics to identify speeding, idle time, asset utilization rates and more.

Altitude

Altitude can be a key parameter in e.g. the analysis of fuel/battery consumption in a vehicle – or e.g. in aerospace applications like drones, planes etc.

Attitude (Roll, Pitch, Heading)

The CANmod.gps uses GNSS/IMU sensor fusion to provide attitude data, enabling a complete 3D picture of the asset orientation at any given time.

Odometer Distance Since Power On and Total

Odometer data enables easy tracking of the distance travelled by the asset both in total (since reset) and per trip (since last module power cycle).

3D IMU Angular Rate

The 100 Hz angular rate data can be used in e.g. the analysis of driving behavior and vehicle dynamics (tire/suspension, turning, drifting, …).

3D IMU Acceleration Rate

The 100 Hz acceleration data can be used in e.g. analysis of road/driving quality (speed bumps, harsh braking, …) and predictive maintenance.

Geofences

The module can output the status of configurable circular geofences at 1 Hz – useful for e.g. theft prevention, safety improvements, process automation and more.

Timestamps Epoch Date & Time

The CANmod.gps outputs a high precision epoch timestamp is useful in providing historical date/time for the GNSS/IMU data and e.g. syncing the internal time of connected CAN hardware.

Easy add GNSS/IMU Data to any CANBus System

CSS CANmod.gps makes it easy to add position and 3D inertial data to your CAN bus – e.g. for use by ECUs or CAN hardware.
