TransducerM TM362 / TM362-P Introduction

The TransducerM TM362 and TM362-P both belong to the TM300 series, which are designed to provide balanced performance versus costs. The TM362 has excellent dynamic and static performance in terms of Roll/Pitch/Yaw measurement in a compact design of 3.5cm cubic dimensions (exclude brackets and cable), with thermal calibration (standard, unless otherwise specified when ordering) of its gyroscopes and accelerometers.  
The TM362-P, where the letter ‘P’ stands for Performance, inherits all TM362 features, differs in terms of having narrower Z-Axis gyroscopes measurement range but having better Yaw stability (much lower coefficient drifting).

Application scope:
The TM362 / TM362-P are designed for use with ground vehicles, drones, robotics, which are non-safety critical consumer and industrial applications; in addition, the TM362-P makes it possible for use in such as marine or autonomous guided vehicle applications where turn-on bias drifting is of major concern.

Excellent Reliability

With the advantage of vibration resistant, self-adapting drift compensation and professional calibration.

Newest fusion software

Sophisticated sensor fusion software onboard for outputting roll / pitch / yaw data.

Compatibility

TM362 / TM352-P shares the same main communication protocol with SYD Dynamics' other products, making it easy for upgrading or downgrading model choices for finding the optimal performance-cost balance.

Interfaces

Offers Serial port, CAN Bus, USB 2.0 interfaces and they can be accessed at the same time! To change configurations in real-time, or record data from a secondary port.

 RELIABILITY

Shock Resistant and Active Magnetic Field Compensation:
The module is resistant to temporary shock or vibration, and features intelligent self-adapting filter for improved heading accuracy.

 Quality-of-Service (QoS)

SYD Dynamics’s motion module provides a measure of its healthiness, and notifies the host computer of potential drop of measurement quality upon extreme conditions, making it possible for integrating with reliability in mind.

 DIGITAL INTERFACE

  • UART (TTL 3.3V compatible with TTL 5.0V)
  • CAN 2.0B Standard and Extended ID (Configurable)
  • USB 2.0 (Full speed, USB Virtual COM Port profile)
  • Output Rate 200 Hz, 100 Hz, 50 Hz, 25 Hz, 10 Hz, 5 Hz, 1 Hz Typ.
The motion sensing module takes the advantages of a unique processing method developed by SYD Dynamics. It offers very good dynamic performance while keeping the preciseness.
