Overview

The PTU-D100-ISM provides stabilized pointing for virtually any type of payload. The integrated MEMs sensor is used by the ISM processing module to measure platform motion in real-time, and to dynamically control the pan-tilt to compensate for unwanted motion. Its light weight make it suitable for airborne as well as fixed or ground mobile/portable applications. The real-time control interface allows applications to dynamically control the PTU-D100-ISM while stabilized, to support applications such as slew-to-queue, video tracking, antenna tracking, and more. Detailed information about the ISM are here.

The controller is fully integrated. A single mil-style connector provides power and pan-tilt control, as well as payload signal management (optional). Integrated flex-circuitry absorbs tilt motion for all internal wiring to provide long life over high duty cycles.

The built-in command set offers both ASCII and binary formats. This command set supports real-time control at up to 60 commands/second with very low and predictable latencies. The rich command set provides fine-grained control of position (absolute and relative), velocity, acceleration and other unit functions. The optional Geo-Pointing Module also provides an Ethernet/IP interface for control of the pan-tilt units.
