CAN Bus Attitude Reference and Gyro Stabilized Inclinometers
Congratulations on your purchase of the LORD Sensing M-Series gyro stabilized
inclinometer. Your unit’s compact, robust package and high MTBF are designed
to withstand the most difficult operating environments, and deliver consistent
high-precision data.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This QSG contains only the essential information to install and connect to the sensor. Refer to the J1939 or CANopen product manual for full details and protocol information. These, along with a .DBC file can be found on the LORD Sensing website. Select your model, and scroll down to documentation for the user manual, or downloads for the CAN J1939 Configuration file. www.microstrain.com/inertial/m-series.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
After identifying the desired mounting location on the vehicle, and
verififying proper clearances, mount the sensor using M8 or 5/16″ machine
screws, in the three clear fit holes provided. For temporary installation to
verify clearances, 3M VHB double faced tape is recommended. Torque the screws
to 20Nm ± 2Nm (14.75 ft-lbs ±1.47 ft-lb.)
CONNECTING TO THE SENSOR
The mating connector for the M Series sensors is an AMPSEAL 16 Series, with
gold plated pins.
**LORD Sensing suggests two USB interface dongles for CAN
connectivity.**
Suggestion 1
Customers with existing CAN networks who wish to verify communications with a specific sensor may utilize this unit from Peak-System GmbH. It comes complete with communications monitor software, PCAN-View. For full details and ordering information: peak-system.com.
LORD Sensing Sales ([email protected]) has a CAN cable and power kit to facilite quick test operation. Ask for p/n 6212-3017.
Suggestion 2
An alternative, and somewhat less expensive interface is manufactured by
Lawicel-AB. The CANUSB interface is a small dongle which provides instant CAN
connectivity. It can be identified by software as a virtual COM port, with the
FTDI USB drivers.
Sample programs in C, C++, C#, VB6, Delphi and Linux are found on their
downloads page:
http://www.can232.com/?page_id=75.
Purchase directly from Lawicel CANUSB.com. This device
may also be purchased from LORD Sensing sales
[email protected] (P/N 6212- 3014). It
includes a short CAN bus connector for the sensor, USB dongle and power, and a
power supply with global plugs.
For full CAN command detail, refer to the J1939 or CANopen version of the
M-Series user manual. These are found on the LORD Sensing website
www.microstrain.com/inertial/m-series.
LORD recommends split termination on both ends of the CAN bus cable for
optimum EMC performance.
