Configurable Parameters

The OSCP-MK2 IMU offers several real-time configurable parameters, which can also be saved in non-volatile memory to maintain them at each start-up. Refer to the Commands page for how to configure them.

Table: Configurable Parameters
Parameter Configuration Comment
Output Data Rate 0 Hz, 100 Hz, 500 Hz Operating mode.
Gyroscope Dynamic Range ±125, ±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000, ±4000 °/sec Selectable range, applies to the MEMS gyroscopes. On the MK2E2, the optical gyroscope's range is fixed and not user-configurable.
Accelerometer Dynamic Range ± 2 g, ± 4 g, ± 8 g, ± 16 g Selectable range.
Inclinometer Dynamic Range ± 0.5 g, ± 1.0 g, ± 2.0 g, ± 3.0 g Selectable range.
Enabled Frame Type RAW, EULER, QUATERNION, ROTATION MATRIX, GNSS Each type of frame can be enabled or disabled. Controller Overruns can occur.

Electrical Interface

Precautions

  • Do not power-up the device with reverse polarity.
  • Do not exceed the input power-up voltage beyond + 34 VDC.

Connections

In order to operate correctly, the IMU must be connected as shown in the figure below, depending on selected protocol.

RST Pin

The active-high reset pin (number 5, wire color orange) can be left floating if unused.

The terminal provided to connect the IMU is open wired on the other side of the IMU connector. The table below shows wire identification. This pinout, connector, and wiring are identical across the whole MK2 family.

1 Red RS422: RX- Connected to user TX- (RS422)
2 Yellow RS422: RX+ Connected to user TX+ (RS422)
3 Black Ground Power Ground
4 White Power 12V Typical
5 Orange Active-High Reset Can be left floating. 3.3V, 5V Tolerant
6 Blue RS422: TX+ / CAN-FD: P Connected to user RX+ (RS422)
7 Green RS422: TX- / CAN-FD: N Connected to user RX- (RS422)
8 Purple RS422 / CAN-FD: GND Isolated Ground
