Product catalog summary
Application
The SMC-10 Range of Motion Reference Units (MRUs) is designed for various marine applications such as Active Heave Compensation Crane systems, Dynamic Positioning systems, and Helideck Monitoring. These units provide high accuracy motion measurements suitable for any marine operation requiring attitude determination, motion compensation, or dynamic positioning.

Function
The 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 in industry-standard formats.

Calibration
Each SMC-10 Motion Sensor 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 Serial communication. They accept serial velocity and heading inputs for aiding purposes and 1PPS for time aiding.

Standard Supply
The package includes a data connection unit, cables, and Windows-based user configuration software.

Key Features
  • Roll & Pitch accuracy: 0.03° RMS
  • Heave accuracy: 5 cm or 5%
  • Web Interface
  • 200 Hz Output Rate
  • Supports Serial and Ethernet UDP, TCP, Modbus
  • Custom and Industry Standard Protocols
  • 2-year Warranty

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

About SMC
SMC is ISO9001:2015 certified, specializing in motion reference units, weather instruments, and system integration software for the global marine industry.

Specifications
Model Features

SMC-10-1

4th Generation Motion Reference Units The 4th Generation of the SMC-10 range of Motion Reference Units has been designed to meet the requirements from the offshore, hydrographic and marine industry. The SMC-10 range provides high accuracy motion measurement data in dynamic environment in all areas from small vessels to large rigs in all weather conditions. Function Motion sensors or MRUs 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. Calibration All SMC-10 Range of Motion Sensors are individually calibrated and tested with the use of a rate table with a controlled temperature chamber. Communication The SMC Motion Reference Units communicates over multiple Ethernet TCP Client/Server, UDP and Modbus connections and RS232/RS422 Serial communication. The SMC MRU accepts serial velocity and heading inputs for aiding purposes and 1PPS for time aiding. Standard Supply The SMC Motion Sensor is supplied with a data connection unit, cables and windows-based user configuration software. Key Features - Roll & Pitch 0.03° 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-10 motion reference units are available as IP66 surface or IP68 submersible versions in a titanium casing. The durable construction ensures a Motion Sensor 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. Application Development over 20 years has produced a Motion Reference Unit for applications from Active Heave Compensation Crane systems, Dynamic Positioning systems, Helideck Monitoring and other various Roll, Pitch and Heave motion applications.
