The MTi 600-series come in a 31.5mm x 28.0mm x 13.0mm IP51-rated package and can measure roll and pitch readings to ±0.2° accuracy. GNSS-assisted yaw measurements are accurate to ±1.0°. The series also provides a CAN bus interface and NMEA compatibility.

To increase performance, Xsens has enhanced its sensor fusion algorithms to optimize the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer outputs allowing the devices to be sold at unit prices below €300 for production volumes of the MTi-610 IMU.

There are four products in the MTi 600-series:

* MTi-610 IMU, which provides fully calibrated sensor data outputs

* MTi-620 VRU offering roll and pitch measurements accurate to ±0.2°

* MTi-630 AHRS offering roll and pitch measurements accurate to ±0.2° and yaw measurements accurate to ±1.5°

* MTi-670 GNSS/INS with GNSS support offering roll and pitch measurements accurate to ±0.2°, yaw measurements accurate to ±1.0°, and global positioning data supplied by an external GNSS receiver

The MTi 600-series modules feature an NMEA-compatible interface for GNSS receivers to accommodate any GNSS receiver chip, module or system to work alongside the MTi-670, a GNSS/INS device which supplements the pitch, roll and yaw outputs available from other MTi 600-series products with global positioning information.
