A sophisticated inertial platform

GRIPONE IMU CAN is the new inertial platform designed specifically for use on motorcycles with traditional or electric engine, for sports or road use. Inside it has two 3-axial accelerometers ,one 3-axial gyroscope and 3-axial compass , thanks to which it is able to detect the dynamic position of the vehicle. A complex algorithm processes the data, comes from the sensors, to calculate the roll angle, the pitch angle, eliminating completely the typical drift effects of these devices. All data are made available for other devices via CAN bus communication.

A complete module for dynamic vehicle management

GRIPONE IMU CAN, in addition to determining the space orientation of the bike, has two digital inputs, thanks to which it can acquire the signal of the speeds of both wheels. These intelligent inputs are able to detect speeds from different types of sensors, such as proximity sensors or even the original ABS speed sensors.
Thanks to this peculiarity, GRIPONE IMU CAN becomes a real vehicle dynamic control module. The thinking heart of the inertial platform includes traction control strategies, anti-wheelie strategies and engine brake strategies. Thanks to the integrated control strategies, GRIPONE IMU CAN can generate directives (via CAN towards the main control unit) on power management in order to maintain normal driving conditions. All strategies are refined by ten years of experience in the sector, through the GRIPONE product line.

WHO IT IS DESIGNED FOR

Motorsport

GRIPONE IMU CAN is an advanced tool that supply an extremely accurate signal of roll angle. Typically the data acquisition ECUs include 3-axis accelerometer sensor but they do not supply an appropriate the calculation of roll angle. This value is very sensitive to the features and quality of sensors used to obtain it. IMU CAN guarantees an high precision into the determination of roll angle.

Manufacturers

Motorcycle manufacturers, when they want to equip their vehicles with control systems, such as traction control or anti wheelie control, can rely on large external suppliers (who sell a “closed box” product at extremely high costs) or they can get the whole package, simply by integrating GRIPONE IMU CAN as external manager (via CAN bus) of the control strategies. The great advantage of this solution (in addition to the extremely reduced price) is that of having complete management of the strategies and above all having ownership of them.

Aftermarket

GRIPONE IMU CAN is a precise sensor that can be easily integrated by manufacturers of dashboard and manufacturers of data acquisition systems. The CAN bus allows you to easily transfer many crucial data for the management of vehicle dynamics, such as accelerations along the three axes, the inclination speeds along the three axes, the pitch angle and the roll angle. An external inertial platform guarantees a higher level of precision, which cannot be reached with the integrated sensors.

Electric bike

Electric motorcycles have an exceptionally linear power delivery, but they are still two-wheeled vehicles that face the limits of tire grip. By integrating GRIPONE IMU CAN as an external operator (via CAN bus), vehicle control strategies can be easily integrated to increase safety. IMU CAN, in addition to providing the roll angle and the pitch angle, also estabilish the corrections necessary to restore normal driving conditions. Inside the thinking heart, in fact, it includes different strategies such as the traction control, the anti-wheelie and engine brake control.
