Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document describes the 4th Generation SMC-00 Range Motion Reference Units (MRUs), designed for various marine applications such as Dynamic Positioning systems, Active Heave Compensated winches, and Helideck Monitoring. These units provide accurate motion measurements in dynamic environments.

Functionality
The SMC MRUs determine the orientation of an object using 3 accelerometers and 3 MEMS gyroscopes integrated with a multi-core processor. They output real-time pitch, roll, and heave data with high dynamic accuracy.

Calibration
Each unit is individually calibrated and tested using a rate table and controlled temperature chamber.

Communication
The units support multiple communication protocols including Ethernet TCP/UDP, Modbus, and RS232/RS422. They accept velocity and heading inputs for aiding during vessel turns and 1PPS for time aiding.

Standard Supply
The MRU is supplied with a data distribution unit, cables, and user configuration software.

Key Features
  • Roll & Pitch accuracy: 0.12° RMS
  • Heave accuracy: 5 cm or 5%
  • Web Interface
  • 200 Hz Output Rate
  • Serial and Ethernet communication
  • 2-year Warranty

Environmental Specifications
The units are available in IP66 surface or IP68 submersible versions with titanium casing, ensuring high reliability in demanding marine environments.

SMC-00-1

4th Generation Motion Reference Units The 4th Generation of the SMC-00 range of Motion Reference Units has been designed to meet the requirements from the Dynamic Positioning, offshore, marine and hydrographic industry. The SMC-00 range provides accurate motion measurement data in dynamic environments in a compact and robust design. Application Development over 20 years has produced a Motion Reference Unit for applications from Dynamic Positioning systems, AHC Active Heave Compensated winches, Mega Yacht Helideck Monitoring and other various Roll, Pitch and Heave motion applications. The Motion Reference Unit data is suitable for any marine operation that requires attitude determination, motion compensation or dynamic positioning. The SMC Motion Reference Units provide accurate motion measurements in dynamic environments. Function Motion Reference Units determine the orientation of an object relative to an inertial frame of reference or another body. The SMC MRU uses 3 accelerometers and 3 solid state MEMS gyroscopes which are integrated with a built-in multi-core processor, to output accurate real time pitch, roll and heave data with high dynamic accuracy when accelerations are present in industry standard formats. Key Features - Roll & Pitch 0.12° RMS, Heave 5 cm or 5 % - Web Interface - 3 Measurement Points - 200 Hz Output Rate - Serial and Ethernet UDP, TCP, Modbus - Custom and Industry Standard Protocols - 2 years Warranty Environmental The SMC-00 MRUs are available as IP66 surface or IP68 submersible versions in a titanium casing. The durable construction ensures a Motion Reference Unit with an extremely high reliability in the most demanding marine environment. About SMC SMC is an ISO9001:2015 quality management certified company, manufacturing motion reference units, weather instruments and system integration software packages, such as Helideck Monitoring and Motion Monitoring systems, for the global marine industry. Communication The SMC MRU communicates over multiple Ethernet TCP Client/Server, UDP and Modbus connections as well as RS232/RS422 Serial communication. The SMC MRU accepts velocity and heading inputs for aiding during vessel turns and 1PPS for time aiding. Standard Supply The SMC Motion Reference Unit is supplied with a data distribution unit, cables and windows-based user configuration software. Calibration All SMC-00 Motion Reference Units are individually calibrated and tested with the use of a rate table with a controlled temperature chamber.
