GDM350 / GDM360 Dynamic 3D Electronic Compass

Product catalog summary
Product Introduction
The GDM350/360 is a high-performance 3D dynamic electronic compass featuring a 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that integrates a three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. It uses advanced dynamic inertial navigation algorithms to calculate pitch and roll angles in real-time, even under complex motion conditions. The compass employs intelligent calibration technology to suppress environmental magnetic interference, ensuring accurate geomagnetic azimuth measurements. It supports standard communication interfaces like RS232/RS485/TTL and is suitable for applications such as ship navigation and antenna stability control.
Application Scope
  • Marine Navigation and Surveying
  • GPS Integrated Navigation System
  • Antenna Servo Control
  • Infrared Imager Integration
  • Laser Ranging Equipment Collaboration
  • Map Completion System Support
  • ROV Underwater Robot Navigation
  • Marine Survey Instrument Support
Technical Highlights
  • Tilt resolution: 0.1°
  • Static tilt accuracy: 0.2°, dynamic accuracy: 0.5°
  • DC 5V power supply
  • Standard RS232/RS485/TTL output interface
  • Hard and soft magnet, and tilt compensation
Performance Parameters
Key parameters include a heading accuracy of 0.8°, tilt accuracy of 0.2° static and 0.5° dynamic, and a gyroscope range of 500°/s. The device is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to +85℃ and withstands vibrations up to 2500g.
Installation Requirements
For optimal performance, the compass should be installed away from ferromagnetic materials and electromagnetic equipment. Copper screws and non-magnetic materials like aluminum alloy are recommended for mounting. On-site calibration and verification are advised to ensure measurement accuracy.
Calibration Method
Calibration is necessary if compass accuracy is compromised or if there is fixed magnetic interference. The process involves rotating the device 360° to acquire spatial magnetic field data, followed by storing the calibration parameters.
Communication Protocol
The device uses a data frame format with an identifier, data length, address code, command word, and checksum. Various commands are available for reading angles, setting magnetic declination, starting calibration, and more. The protocol supports baud rates from 4800 to 115200.
9-axis Data Output
The output includes attitude angles, 3-axis acceleration, and 3-axis gyroscope speed, with specific byte offsets and formats for each data type.

GDM350 / GDM360 Dynamic 3D Electronic Compass-6

Measurement direction and installation requirements The azimuth measurement of a 3D electronic compass is based on the principle of geomagnetic induction, and its installation environment must meet strict magnetic interference control requirements. To ensure measurement accuracy, the following installation specifications should be followed: 1. Magnetic Environment Requirements: The installation location should be far away from ferromagnetic materials (such as iron products, permanent magnets, etc.) and electromagnetic equipment (such as motors, transformers, etc.); the minimum distance from potential...

Calibration prerequisites: 1) The compass accuracy does not meet the requirements; 2) If there is a fixed magnetic field interference in the compass installation environment (e.g., installed on ferrous materials), the interference source and the compass must be rotated synchronously for calibration, and their relative positions must be kept fixed during use; otherwise, recalibration is required. If the size or distance of the interference source is not fixed (e.g., a variable iron component), calibration is not possible; a safe installation distance of at least 30cm should be maintained. 1) Place...
