Description
This standalone GPS-to-CAN module generates GNSS position and 3D inertial data (via a gyroscope and accelerometer) and outputs it via configurable CAN bus frames.
The module supports “Untethered Dead Reckoning” – this means that even in the event of a complete loss of the GNSS signal, the module can provide continuous positioning through IMU-based estimates (no external inputs required).
You can integrate the module into any CAN bus, such as vehicle networks or CAN hardware. For example, you can use it as a plug-and-play add-on module for the CANedge.

GPS and 3D IMU – Enrich your data
GPS and 3D-IMU allow the following functions and data to be used and recorded.
Position + Sensor Fusion : Add time-synchronized GPS positioning to your CAN/LIN data – with sensor fusion (UDR) for 3x higher accuracy.
Speed data is useful, for example, in fleet telematics for determining speeding violations, idling times, plant utilization, and more.
Altitude is crucial, e.g. for analyzing fuel/battery consumption – or e.g. in aerospace applications such as drones, airplanes, etc.
Tilt: The GNSS/IMU enables position data and provides a 3D view of the plant orientation at any time [Automotive].
Travel distance odometer data enables easy tracking of the distance traveled by the system (since the module was last switched on and off).
Angular velocities and 3D IMU angle rates can be used, for example, for the analysis of driving and vehicle dynamics (tires/suspension, drifting, etc.).
Acceleration rates from 3D-IMUs can be used, for example, for analyzing ride quality and predictive maintenance.
Configurable circular geofences are useful for, e.g., theft prevention, security, automation, and more.
Timestamp The highly precise epoch timestamp is useful, e.g., for synchronizing the CANedge real-time clock.
