The entry-level INS for slip angle measurement and brake testing
The RT500 v1 is the INS of choice for automotive companies who want to capture consistent, reliable measurements for low dynamics testing, where RTK is not required. e.g. coastdown testing, brake testing, and slip angle measurement.
Its predecessor, the RT2500, earned itself industry-wide recognition as the hero INS solution for low dynamics testing.
Now, with the RT500 v1, the solution replacing the RT2500, the industry’s trusted INS for low dynamics testing has been designed to offer even greater connectivity, mobility and efficiency. And it does so while maintaining the well-revered precision accuracy and affordable price of the RT2500.
Entry-level INS (Inertial Navigation System)
Model:
RT500 v1
Maker:
Oxford Technical Solutions Ltd.
Features
- Capturing vehicle dynamics data
- Internal memory allows you to capture days of data in one go
- Up to 250Hz output even during GNSS dropouts
- Post-processing software included to improve on real-time performance
Firmware applications
- Multiple slip points – INS computes slip angle from up to eight user configured points on the vehicle
- Analogue output – Enables measurements to be output on 16 analogue channels
- Local coordinates – Data is displaced from an origin on a local coordinates grid
- Surface tilt – Roll and pitch are compared to an inclined surface
- Acceleration filters – Applied to reduce unwanted noise on angular and acceleration measurement
Hardware features
- Tightly-coupled GNSS/INS
- Dual antenna GPS/GLONASS
- CAN 2.0 and CAN-FD interface
- 3x Ethernet ports
- Up to 250Hz output
- CAN Acquisition (optional) – CAN data acquired from other sensors can be logged to the RT500
