Rion electronic compass DCM301B

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DCM301B/DCM302B is a high-precision 3D electronic compass utilizing a two-dimensional plane calibration algorithm. It integrates three-axis magnetic sensing technology and a three-axis accelerometer to provide accurate heading data even at tilt angles up to ±85°. The compass supports various output interfaces including RS232/RS485/TTL and can be customized for other communication interfaces.

Features
- Heading accuracy: 0.5°
- Tilt angle measuring range: ±85°
- Tilt angle resolution: 0.1°
- Operating temperature: -40℃ to +85℃
- Size: L60×W59×H33mm
- Power supply: DC 5V
- Protection class: IP67

Applications
The compass is suitable for navigation mapping, GPS integrated navigation, antenna servo control, and other applications such as laser rangefinders and oceanographic surveying instruments.

Specifications
- Best heading accuracy: 0.5°
- Pitch and roll accuracy varies with the measurement range, with a resolution of 0.1°
- Calibration includes hard and soft iron calibration and magnetic field interference calibration through plane rotation.
- Physical dimensions: L60×W59×H33mm with a weight of 100g including the shell.
- Communication rate ranges from 2400 to 19200 baud with a maximum output rate of 20Hz/s.
- Power consumption: Maximum 40mA, ideal mode 30mA.
- Environmental resistance includes shock performance of 2500g and anti-vibration of 10grms.

Installation and Calibration
For optimal performance, the compass should be installed away from magnetic interference sources. Calibration involves rotating the compass 360° to collect magnetic field data. The calibration process requires specific commands to start and stop, ensuring accurate measurements.

Communication Protocol
The compass uses a data frame format with specific command words for operations such as reading angles, setting magnetic declination, and starting calibration. The default communication rate is 9600 baud, and the module address can be set within a specified range.

Rion electronic compass DCM301B-3

▶ INTRODUCTION DCM301B/DCM302B is a 3D electronic compass with high precision using two-dimensional plane calibration algorithm. The calibration does not require a three-dimensional attitude tilt, and only needs to rotate the plane in place to complete the calibration process. Using hard magnetic and soft magnetic calibration algorithms, the compass can achieve ideal measurement results through three-dimensional calibration in an environment with magnetic interference. This compass integrates three-axis magnetic sensing technology, which can calculate the heading in real time through the central...

MEASURING DIRECTION AND INSTALLATION Since the azimuth angle of the DCM302B three-dimensional electronic compass is based on the principle of geomagnetism, it is important to choose an environmental installation location with minimal magnetic interference. Please install DCM302B as far away as possible from iron, magnets, motors, and other magnetic objects. Even if there are these magnetic media around, at least the distance needs to be controlled above 40CM (different magnetic fields interfere with the compass at different distances). To ensure that the product reaches the best measurement environment,...

Rion electronic compass DCM301B-8

Calibration prerequisite: 1) The accuracy of the test compass fails to meet the requirements; 2) There is magnetic interference in the compass installation environment. This interference is fixed, and the distance between the interference magnetic field and the compass will not change after installation (for example: the compass is installed on an iron material, because iron will interfere with the magnetic field. It is necessary to rotate and calibrate the iron and the compass together, and the iron will not be separated from the compass during use. Once it is separated, it needs to be re-calibrated....

DCM301B / DCM302B 3D DIGITAL COMPASS Refer to the figure below for the calibration method Note: If the compass is fixedly installed in other ancillary equipment, and the device has magnetic interference, please install the compass, and rotate it with the ancillary equipment to collect the interference source of the ancillary products to ensure that the compass can accurately measure. When the user is calibrating, if the distance between the magnetic interference source and the compass itself changes, the calibration effect will be very low, and the accuracy will be very poor.
