This document provides hardware design instructions for the MTi 600-series module (MTi-610/620/630/670/680) and robust tracker (MTi-630R/670G/680G). The MTi 600-series is a fully functional, self-contained module that is easy to design-in with limited external hardware components to be added. The MTi-600 module can be embedded in an application by mounting it directly on a PCB or as a standalone module by connecting it via a flat-ribbon cable. The MTi-600 module can be connected to a host through RS232, CAN or UART interfaces. In contrast, the MTi 600-series robust trackers (MTi-630R, MTi-670G and MTi-680G) are rugged (IP68) devices which can be connected to a host through RS232 or CAN interface, or through USB using the RS232 to USB converter dongle (included in the MTi 600-series Starter Kit).
The MTi 600-series Datasheet provides information on the usage and technical details of the MTi 600-series.
The Family Reference Manual supplements this document. It reports generic information on the MTi 1-series and MTi 600-series, such as output definitions, algorithm details and installation tips.
For testing and prototyping, Xsens provides the MTi-630, MTi-670 and MTi-680 Development Kits (MTi-630-DK, MTi-670-DK and MTi-680-DK) as well as Starter Kits (SK) for the robust MTi-630R, MTi-670G and MTi-680G. In addition to the RS232, CAN and UART pin connectors of the MTi 600-series module, the Development Kit offers a direct USB, RS232, RS422 and CAN interface. Technical details of the Development Kit and its usage can be found in the MTi 600-series DK User Manual.
