SMC OEM Motion Reference Units

SMC manufactures OEM Motion Reference Units for integration into marine third-party systems. Compact dimensions, custom designs and low weight make these ideal products to integrate directly inside space restrictive product casings.

SMC regularly collaborates with our customers to provide a customized design of the OEM sensor unit, ensuring specific requirements are met.

The SMC OEM Motion Reference Units are based on SMC’s proven electronic and software architecture. The devices use high performance solid state gyros and accelerometers to provide real time motion measurements with accurate dynamic accuracy even during accelerations.

SMC-02 Motion Reference Unit

SMC manufactures the SMC-02 range which is a small lightweight and compact available solution ready for a for seamless integration into third-party systems. The SMC-02 range is equipped with our SMC MRU firmware that has both standard and custom communication protocols, making it highly adaptable for use in a wide variety of applications within the Marine, Dynamic Positioning, Offshore, and Hydrographic industries.

Our compact SMC-02 Motion Reference Unit is designed to provide highly accurate motion measurement data and reliable performance in dynamic environments in all areas from small vessels to large rigs in all weather conditions.

Configuration with PC Software & Built-in Web Interface

The MRU is supplied with a windows-based Configuration Software. Connection using an Ethernet connection allows configuration from the built-in webserver using a standard Web browser. The supplied SMC Configuration software allows for easy configuration via Ethernet and Serial.

Each motion sensor is calibrated individually and the readings from the accelerometers and angular rate gyroscopes are adjusted for offsets, alignment, linearity and temperature variations, to ensure they meet the performance specifications.

We thoroughly test the SMC MRUs in our facilities during the calibration process with the use of a rate table with a controlled temperature chamber prior to delivery. The calibration is performed in a 2-axis rate table with a temperature-controlled chamber in a fully automated process.
