Honeywell TARS IMU | DigiKey Daily

Honeywell offers their Transportation Attitude Reference System Inertial Measurement Unit, or TARS-IMU. This motion sensor is a packaged sensor array designed to report vehicle angular rate, acceleration, and attitude data for demanding applications. This ruggedized IMU enables autonomous vehicle characteristics and enhances efficiency and productivity by reporting key data required to automate and monitor movements of vehicle systems and components. The sensor fusion algorithm can be customized for specific vehicle applications through on-board firmware, allowing movement data to be filtered for extraneous environment and vehicle movements. Two sensor models for different power levels accommodate both 5 volt and 9 volt to 36 volt vehicle power systems. Potential applications include equipment control, work monitoring, operator assisted control, and vehicle stability control.
