PCAN-GPS Pro FD
Rugged GNSS and motion sensor module for CAN FD measuring chains
The PCAN-GPS Pro FD measures position, orientation and acceleration with a satellite receiver (update rate up to 25 Hz), a magnetic field sensor, an accelerometer and a gyroscope, and sends the data over CAN or CAN FD.
It is configured rather than programmed: you connect it over USB-C, set the bit rates, antenna supply and which CAN messages to send in the included Windows software, and it then runs as an independent CAN node. Two linked LEMO connectors carry CAN and supply, so the module drops into a measuring chain, and the aluminium IP50 casing suits rough conditions.
Highlights
- u-blox NEO-M9N receiver, up to 25 Hz update rate
- GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS, SBAS and QZSS; 4 systems at once
- Magnetic field sensor, gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer (ST)
- Two linked 9-pin LEMO connectors (M-CAN pinout) for measuring chains
- Set up over USB-C with the included Windows software
- Aluminium casing, IP50
Configuration software
- Antenna supply 3.3 V, 5 V or off; LED brightness
- CAN CC or CAN FD bit rates, including custom bit rate strings from the Bit Rate Calculation Tool
- Predefined CAN messages for sensor and device data; enable each message and set its CAN ID and cycle time
- Overview page with the live sensor states
