TransducerM TM210 Introduction

SYD Dynamics TransducerM Model no. TM210-G and TM210-GP are Z-Axis gyroscopes with fine calibration.

TransducerM_TM210

The TransducerM TM210-G / TM210-GP are designed as Z-Axis gyroscope capable of outputting calibrated Z-Axis angular rate and Yaw angle (heading angle). The robust and simplistic design, with cost in mind, makes both models suitable for use with inertial guidance of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV), or used as a stand-alone gyroscope for simple mechanical sensing and control.

 

Both models provide the following output:

  • Yaw angle (heading angle) with range of 0-360 degrees.
  • Z-axis rotation rate in rad/s or º/s unit.

Dedicated Z-Axis Gyroscope
Get the maximum performance with ultra cost effciency,
output  Z-Axis angle (Yaw) and rotation rate.

Serial and USB dual port
we provide C/C++ communication library with example code
it is also staightforward to write your own parsing code.

Configuration GUI
Offers configuration GUI (ImuAssistant),
setting and data logging.

Factory Calibration
Improved accuracy. Comes with thermal compensation and Factory Calibration.

The TransducerM TM210-G / TM210-GP are carefully factory calibrated for rotation rate and heading output. Both models are not tilt compensated, which means the measured data is about the rotation and heading angle in the sensor frame around the Z-Axis, regardless of how they are installed on the vehicle. If tilt compensation is required, you may choose our product offerings with 3D sensing capabilities (such as TM200, TM352, TM362 , TM362-P, TM510 etc.)
The TM210-G is more robust to vibrations and has stable bias, while TM210-GP is more precise in sensitivity but relatively fragile to sudden shock and impacts.

1. According to test results mostly in laboratory environment.
2. Typical city car driving dynamic condition on flat surface, including sharp and slow turning, with fast and gentle accelerations and traffic light stops.
3. ** Important ** Removing the tilt angle between the sensor frame and the vehicle frame during installation will significantly improve TM210-G and TM210-GP heading accuracy as the gyroscopes are non-tilt compensated.
4. Typical hourly drifting on yaw angle when sitting the TM210-G and TM210-GP stationary.
5. QoS index is a reading from the output data package indicating system status and performance.
