Motion sensors are increasingly being used in robotics, autonomous vehicles, UAVs, and handheld devices to measure the instantaneous orientation (position and acceleration) of an object by combining 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, magnetometer, and other components. The IMU380ZA-209 is a motion sensor device which belongs to the inertial measurement unit (IMU) family. It measures the object\'s acceleration and angular velocity in three axes. Throughout the following sections, the application fields and working principles of the IMU380ZA-209 as a motion sensor will be discussed and analyzed.

Application Fields

The IMU380ZA-209 has many application fields. It is prominently used in some fields such as automotive navigation systems and virtual reality devices, where motion and orientation capabilities are essential. Moreover, it is an essential part of UAVs, robotic arms, mobile robots, inertial navigation systems, and surveying and mapping systems. Additionally, it is used to measure the orientation of airplanes, helicopters, and submersible vehicles. In addition to that, its use in the entertainment industry, in motion capture for computer-generated imagery, and in some gaming and sports Motion Capture (MoCap) are very common.

In the automotive sector, the IMU380ZA-209 is used to measure the motion of vehicles and alert them when they exceed the legal speed limit, detect and measure road profiles, detect and warn drivers against any potential collision, and determine the location of the car. This IMU can also be used in Augmented Reality applications, such as Google Glass, which track user\'s eye movement for the purpose of displaying information overlaid on the real world. It can also be used in 3D printing applications for accurate positioning of measuring and printing.

Working Principle

The IMU380ZA-209 works by processing the inertial data collected from three orthogonal-axis accelerometers, three orthogonal-axis gyroscopes, and a magnetometer. The accelerometers measure linear acceleration, while the gyroscopes measure rotational acceleration (angular velocity). The magnetometer is used for measuring the orientation of the measured object with respect to the Earth’s magnetic field. The IMU380ZA-209 then combines the data from these three instruments to determine the absolute orientation of the measured object as well as its relative motion with respect to the point of reference.

The accelerometers measure the acceleration of the body in three orthogonal directions – x, y and z. The gyroscopes measure the angular velocity of the body along the same orthogonal directions. The magnetometer measures the local magnetic field in the same orthogonal directions and can be used to calculate the absolute orientation of the body with respect to the Earth’s magnetic field. The IMU380ZA-209 then combines the data from these three instruments to calculate the absolute orientation of the measured object as well as its motion relative to the point of reference.

The IMU380ZA-209 also has a dedicated data acquisition unit (DAQ) which enables the user to gather and store inertial data. The user can customize the settings of the device to achieve the desired properties of each measurement (sampling rate, frequency, etc). Additionally, the IMU380ZA-209 has a built-in gyro drift compensation algorithm which helps reduce errors over time and ensures accurate orientation data.

Conclusion

To summarize, the IMU380ZA-209 is an inertial measurement unit (IMU). It has a wide range of applications and is used in many fields such automotive navigation systems, virtual reality systems, UAVs, robots, and surveying and mapping systems. It measures the acceleration and angular velocity of an object in three orthogonal axes and uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, and a magnetometer to do so. Additionally, it has a dedicated data acquisition unit (DAQ) and can be programmed to meet specific requirements. Thus, it is an ideal choice for motion sensing applications.
