Description

The SEC345-M utilizes a sophisticated MEMS-based sensing system combining a three-axis magnetometer and a three-axis accelerometer. This fusion provides real-time digital heading output from 0° to 360°, automatically compensating for sensor tilt up to ±40 degrees. The integrated calibration routines mitigate errors caused by permanent (hard iron) and induced (soft iron) magnetic distortions, ensuring measurement integrity in challenging field conditions.

Designed for industrial durability, the sensor features a sealed magnesium alloy shell rated IP67, protecting against dust and temporary water immersion. Its RS485 interface supports the Modbus RTU protocol, enabling easy daisy-chaining and integration into existing SCADA, automation, or navigation systems. The included 1.5-meter cable with metal connector facilitates secure installation.

Key Features

  • MEMS 3-axis magnetometer and accelerometer fusion for precise 3D orientation.
  • Advanced hard and soft iron magnetic field calibration for environmental robustness.
  • Industrial-grade RS485 Modbus interface with configurable baud rates from 2400 to 115200.
  • High-durability construction with a magnesium alloy housing and IP67 environmental sealing.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for extreme environment deployment.
  • Fast 50Hz data update rate for real-time heading and tilt monitoring applications.
  • Includes pre-terminated 1.5-meter cable with metal connector for reliable field wiring.
  • Mounting via three integrated M4 screw holes for secure mechanical attachment.

Applications

  • Autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) and mobile robot navigation and heading control.
  • Precision antenna and solar panel positioning systems requiring tilt-compensated orientation.
  • Industrial machinery and crane boom angle monitoring for safety and operational feedback.
  • Marine navigation systems and compassing for unmanned surface vessels (USVs).
  • Tilt and heading measurement in surveying, construction, and agricultural equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and current consumption of the SEC345-M sensor?

The sensor operates from a 5V DC power supply with a typical current draw of 30mA, and a maximum of 40mA. Ensure your power source can provide stable 5V power within this current range for reliable operation.

How do I communicate with the SEC345-M and what protocols are supported?

Communication is via the industrial RS485 interface. It supports the Modbus RTU protocol and a proprietary CubePilot command set. Baud rates are configurable from 2400 to 115200 bps, allowing integration with PLCs, industrial controllers, or microcontrollers using an RS485 transceiver shield.

Does the sensor require calibration, and how is it performed?

Yes, for optimal accuracy, hard iron and soft iron calibration is recommended to compensate for local magnetic distortions. The sensor includes built-in algorithms for these calibrations, which are typically performed by sending specific command sequences via the RS485 interface as outlined in the product datasheet.

What is the meaning of 'tilt compensation' and what is its range?

Tilt compensation allows the compass to provide accurate heading readings even when the sensor itself is tilted. The integrated accelerometer measures tilt, and the heading output is corrected accordingly. The SEC345-M provides valid tilt-compensated heading data for tilt angles up to ±40 degrees from level.

Is the sensor suitable for outdoor or harsh environment use?

Yes. The SEC345-M is built with a rugged magnesium alloy shell and is rated IP67 for protection against dust and temporary immersion in water. Its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C makes it suitable for demanding outdoor and industrial applications.
