GRIPONE GUBENAV

GUBENAV: High-Dynamics 100Hz GPS & IMU Sensor

GRIPONE GUBENAV generates the highest accuracy of GPS position and inertial platform through sensor fusion. It provides extremely precise geographic coordinates, ground speed, and heading angle via the CAN 2.0 protocol.

Uncompromising Precision at 100Hz

GUBENAV is a cutting-edge vehicle positioning and dynamics sensor designed for professionals requiring ultra-fast and reliable telemetry data. Seamlessly integrating a high-sensitivity GPS-GNSS module with an advanced 6-axis IMU, GUBENAV uses sophisticated sensor fusion algorithms to interpolate and calculate precise geographic coordinates, velocity, and orientation angle with an update rate of just 100 Hz. Additionally, GUBENAV provides data from three accelerometers (X, Y, and Z) and three gyroscopes (X, Y, and Z).

Based on a robust CAN 2.0 architecture, GUBENAV bridges the gap between raw spatial data and usable telemetry, making it the perfect spatial awareness hub for your network.

Where it finds application

Engineered for multiple uses

Thanks to its flexible CAN protocols and rugged IP67 design, the GUBENAV is highly adaptable to a wide range of demanding professional sectors:

Motorsport & Vehicle Dynamics: Capture high-speed trajectory, lean angles, and acceleration data for advanced track analysis and vehicle development.
Precision Agriculture: Perfectly suited for tractor guidance systems, implement tracking, and autonomous farming equipment using the NMEA2000 standard.
Industrial & Heavy Machinery: Monitor the precise movement, speed, and orientation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), excavators, and industrial robotics in harsh environments.
Laboratory & R&D: Ideal for any testing environment requiring synchronized, high-frequency spatial tracking alongside other analog/digital sensor arrays.

CONFIGURABLE AND SIMPLE

The GUBENAV (GPS 100Hz sensor + 6 axis IMU) comes with the free GUBELLINI DataStudio suite, the software that enables full management of the device. By connecting the device via USB, you can access the setup screen. As shown in the reference image, the “Sensor configuration ” panel allows you to set all the parameters to fit GUBENAV to your needs.

Configuration of device

CAN ID: GUBENAV divides the data transmission into 4 distinct CAN identifiers (e.g. 100, 101, 102, 103 in HEX format). These fields allow you to customize the ID on which the CAN packets are transmitted (so as to avoid conflicts with other control units already present on your CAN network).
CAN ID format: Select the identifier format between 11 bits (Standard) or 29 bits (Extended), depending on the requirements of your logger (e.g. GUBELOG-03 or third – party devices ).
Baud rate: Select the communication speed of the CAN network (e.g., 1Mbps for high-density networks). Make sure all devices on the bus share the same speed.
Transmission type : Select the output protocol. Selecting GUBENAV activates the optimized proprietary protocol. (Alternatively, select NMEA2000 if required by the application.)
Transmission frequency: Sets the CAN packet update rate (e.g. 50Hz, or up to the maximum value of 100Hz depending on the load allowed by the bus).
Vehicle type : Define the vehicle type (e.g. Car) to optimize the internal “ sensor fusion” filters based on the expected dynamics (car, motorbike, boat).
Read/Write Buttons: Use the lower right buttons to read the current configuration from the device or write the new configuration to the GUBENAV’s permanent memory.

Application Sectors for GUBENAV

1. Extreme Sports & Athlete Performance Tracking Tracking high-impact sports (like snowboarding, motocross, or downhill mountain biking). The high-g IMU captures extreme rotations and shocks, the GPS logs the exact path and speed, and the Wi-Fi module offloads the large datasets to a local server at the base camp or finish line.

2. Advanced Vehicle Telematics & Crash Data Recording Acting as an automotive “black box.” The wide-range IMU easily detects and logs harsh braking, aggressive cornering, or high-dynamic collisions without saturating. The GPS provides the exact accident coordinates, and the WizFi360 can upload the encrypted crash logs automatically when the vehicle connects to a depot or garage Wi-Fi network.

3. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) & Drone Navigation Providing critical flight dynamics and stabilization. The dsPIC handles the heavy math for flight control, the IMU reacts to aggressive flight maneuvers, the GNSS allows for autonomous waypoint navigation, and the Wi-Fi provides a high-bandwidth telemetry link to a nearby ground control station.

4. Heavy Industrial Machinery & Mining Equipment Tracking expensive assets in large open-pit mines or industrial yards. The system can monitor machine tilt to prevent rollovers, log extreme operational shocks, and track the asset’s location. Data can be seamlessly uploaded via Wi-Fi mesh networks deployed across the industrial site.

5. Precision Agriculture & Smart Farming Equipping tractors or autonomous agricultural implements to track field coverage via GPS. The IMU measures terrain inclination and vibrations to adjust the height of harvesting tools automatically. The Wi-Fi module syncs daily operational data when the tractor returns to the farmhouse.

6. Railway & Rolling Stock Diagnostics Monitoring the structural health of train carriages. The IMU detects high-frequency shocks and vibrations that indicate track degradation or derailment risks, paired with GPS coordinates. The Wi-Fi module allows the train to dump gigabytes of diagnostic data automatically upon arriving at a major station.

7. Marine Telemetry & Smart Buoys Tracking vessel movements, container ships, or drifting buoys. The IMU continuously analyzes wave dynamics, pitch, and roll to assess sea states. The GPS tracks the drift or route, and the Wi-Fi module connects to port networks or passing ships to transmit the collected oceanographic data.

8. Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in Hybrid Environments Navigating AGVs that operate both indoors and outdoors (e.g., moving goods between factory buildings). The GPS handles outdoor positioning, the IMU provides dead-reckoning when entering buildings (loss of GPS signal), and the Wi-Fi module receives routing commands from the central logistics server.

DIMENSIONS

The GUBENAV housing is made from PA12 nylon, a high-quality material with excellent mechanical properties that can withstand shocks and vibrations. It is ideal for use in harsh environments.
