UART
UM220-INS series modules support two configurable UART ports. COM1 is the main serial port, which supports data transfer and firmware upgrade function, the signal input/output is LVTTL. The default baud rate is 115200bps, and can be configured up to 460800bps. Ensure that COM1 is connected to a PC or an external processor for firmware upgrades.
COM2 is limited to support data transmission, and can’t be used for firmware upgrade.

Odometer (FWD/WHEELTICK)
UM220-INS series modules have an odometer input interface including FWD and WHEELTICK, which are useful for improving the module’s location accuracy.

MEMS
UM220-INS series modules integrate six-axis MEMS, three-axis gyro and three- axis accelerator on board. MEMS provides information on carrier attitude and speed changes, which are combined with GNSS to perform a combined navigation calculation. This combination ensures much more continuous and uninterrupted positioning than standalone GNSS, especially in the conditions with poor signal.

1PPS
UM220-INS series modules output 1 PPS with adjustable pulse width and polarity. 1PPS is not for timing application.

nReset
Low voltage valid, and the active time is required to last at least 10ms

PCB Packaging

unicore UM220-INS Series Multi-GNSS Integrated Navigation and Positioning
Module-fig7

In the design of PCB solder, make sure the area below the UM220-INS series modules are fully covered with solder layer.

Hardware Design

Design in Considerations
It’s required to connect the following signals correctly to make UM220-INS series modules work properly.
The VCC module is of good monotonicity, and undershoot and ringing are required to be guaranteed within 5% VCC. If VCC is powered off and then rebooted, the power off time must be greater than 10ms. If VCC power supply cannot meet the above requirements, there is a probability that the UM220-INS module will not start normally.
When the module is not powered on, it is necessary to ensure that the power supply and GPIO (PPS, TX, RX, RESET) are in a high impedance state or a low level to avoid abnormal operation of the module caused by leakage.
If serial port 2 and pulse per second (1PPS) are used, a 1KΩ resistor must be connected in series at TXD2 and a 4.7KΩ resistor must be connected in series at the pulse per second (1PPS)

  • Connect all the GND pins to ground.
  • Provide reliable power to the VCC pin.
  • Connect RF_IN signal to the antenna, and make sure the 50 Ω impedance match on the circuit.
  • Ensure COM1 is connected to a PC or an external processor, users can use this serial port to receive position data. COM1 is also used for firmware upgrades.

Pay attention to the following items in the design to obtain good performance

  • Power supply: Stable and low ripple power is necessary for good performance.
    • Use LDO to ensure the purity of power supply.
    • Place LDO to the module as close as possible in layout.
    • Widen the power circuit wiring or use copper pour surface to transmit current.
    • Avoid walking through any high–power or high inductance devices such as magnetic coil.
    • Make sure the peak to peak voltage ripple does not exceed 50mV.
  • UART interfaces: ensure that the signals and baud rate of the main equipment are consistent with that of UM220-INS series modules.
  • Antenna interface: make sure the antenna impedance matching, and the circuit is short and smooth, try to avoid acute angle.
  • Try to avoid circuits below UM220-INS series modules.
  • This module is a temperature sensitive device, rapid temperature changes will result in reduced performance, keep it as far away from any high-power high-temperature air and heating devices as possible.

Antenna
If UM220-INS series modules use a +3V active antenna, it is recommended to use VCC_RF pin to feed the antenna through the feeding inductor.

Note: If the user has a high requirement for ESD (> ± 2000 V), the user should consider other method to feed the antenna rather than using the VCC_RF pin. In this case, it is recommended to choose a power supply chip with high ESD protection level. Gas discharge tube, varistor, TVS tube and other high-power protective devices may also be used in the power supply circuit to further protect the module from ESD damage or other Electrical Over-Stress (EOS).
If the UM220-INS series modules use an active antenna other than +3V, the bias voltage V_BIAS required by the antenna is used to power the antenna through the feeding inductor.

unicore UM220-INS Series Multi-GNSS Integrated Navigation and Positioning
Module-fig9

If the UM220-INS series modules use a passive antenna, connect the antenna to the RF_IN directly, and VCC_RF can be left floating. It should be noted that compared to active antennas, the use of passive antennas may cause GNSS performance degradation.

Serial Port
The serial ports of UM220-INS series modules are of LVTTL level, use a RS232 converter for the PC connection.

unicore UM220-INS Series Multi-GNSS Integrated Navigation and Positioning
Module-fig11

Odometer Connection
UM220-INS series modules support direction (FWD) and velocity pulse (WHEELTICK) signals connecting with odometer. The accuracy of module positioning trajectory could be enhanced if the module obtains effective direction and velocity pulse signals.
The odometer signal of vehicles is generally 12V, and the signal quality is poor. Therefore, signal filtering, optocoupler isolation and level conversion are required for vehicle odometer signals to transferred to UM220-INS NF for use.

unicore UM220-INS Series Multi-GNSS Integrated Navigation and Positioning
Module-fig12

System Coordinates
The coordinates of UM220-INS series modules must be consistent with that of the vehicles, otherwise you must perform the related configuration following the CFGROTAT command in the corresponding protocol manual.

  1. The normal direction of the shield is Z axis, the long axis is Y and the short axis is X.
  2. The coordinate of the module must be consistent with the vehicle’s, which means: X-axis and R-axis are parallel in the same direction, Y-axis and F-axis are parallel in the same direction, and Z-axis and U-axis are parallel in the same direction.

Installation of the Module
UM220-INS series modules must be rigidly connected to the vehicle body and firmly fixed.

  1. The antenna should be installed with the front facing up as much as possible and firmly fixed; ensure that the elevation angle of the environment where the antenna is located is greater than 15 ° and the space is unobstructed.
  2.  In the environment where the antenna is located, there is no strong interference source within the frequency of 1568± 20MHz.

Installation Instructions
The UM220-INS series modules must be firmly connected to the vehicle to prevent any offsets or vibrations between the module and the vehicle. UM220-INS series modules should not be installed in the suspension part of the vehicle (with elastic part). When the vehicle is moving, any change of the vehicle coordinate system will seriously affect the UM220-INS module and prevent it from working normally.

Installation Angle Definition
The vehicle coordinate is RFU, and the module coordinate is xyz, as shown in figure 5-5 and figure 5-6. AngleR, angleF, and angleU of the module’s installation angle are defined as below:

  1. Coincide the initial state of RFU coordinate with that of xyz coordinate
  2. Rotate γ angle of the module along the z axis
  3. Rotate α angle of the module along the new x axis
  4. Rotate β angle of the module along the new y axis
  5. The module is now in the same state as the actual installation, with that, angleR=α, angleF=β, angleU=γ

Installation Options of the Module

  • Free Installation (Default Mode)
    UM220-INS series modules integrate a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer, with a built-in self-calibration algorithm, which supports the free installation of the module with respect to any installation angle of the vehicle coordinate system, such as, the completely horizontal installation, inclined installation at a certain angle, and flip installation.

  • Fixed Installation
    According to the installation angle definition, the accurate installation angle is manually configured into the module. This installation method takes a short calibration time. When configuring the installation angle manually, the maximum angle error is limited to ± 5 degrees.

Reference Messages

    • If the function of hot start in the basement is needed, Vbackup requires to be powered continuously;

Module Calibration and Notice

Self-Calibration
After the installation of the UM220-INS series modules, the self-calibration is required to ensure the accuracy of the module output. In the process of the self-calibration, the module estimates installation status parameters and sensor parameters. The module is in full satellite navigation mode before the self-calibration is completed, and is in satellite navigation and inertial navigation compact combination mode after the self-calibration is completed.

Conditions of Completing Self-Calibration

  • The self-calibration is triggered after power on, stop for more than three minutes;
  • Good satellite visibility is required during the process of the self-calibration (the number of visible satellites is not less than six, and CN0 is above 30dB), the better the satellite observation quality is, the faster the calibration will be.
  • It’s required to make 90-degree turn maneuvers for more than five times while the vehicle is running normally.
  • Keep the forward driving speed above 36 km/h under the premise of normal driving. The more times of acceleration (it’s recommended to drive at the acceleration greater than 0.5m/s squared for no less than 10 times) and the longer the driving time is, the faster the calibration will be.After the first alignment of inertial navigation (insstatus 3), it is still necessary to drive for about 15 minutes in the normal open environment to train the inertial navigation device adequately. For example, the navigation precision may be slightly worse if the inertial navigation device enters a complex environment such as a tunnel and garage immediately after the first alignment.

Note

  • The normal use of the module only requires only one self-calibration process.
  • After the INS module is calibrated, it can be moved only after the power is completely cut off, including the main VCC and the backup V_BACKUP.

Disassembly

When it is necessary to remove the module, it is recommended to melt the soldering tin of the pins on both sides of the module with an electric soldering iron and remove the module with tweezers. DO NOT use other means to remove the module (for example, the module is blown off by a hot air gun), which may lead to module damage.
