1 General information
This document provides hardware design instructions for the MTi 600-series module (MTi-600). The
MTi-600 is a fully functional, self-contained module that is easy to design-in with limited external
hardware components to be added. The MTi-600 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 can
be connected to a host through RS232, CAN or UART interfaces.
The
MTi 600-series Datasheet
1
provides information on the usage and technical details of the MTi
600-series modules. The MTi 600-series module (MTi-600) is a fully functional, self-contained module
that is easy to design-in. The MTi-600 module can be connected to a host through RS232, CAN or
UART interfaces, or through USB using the UART to USB converter (included in the MTi 600-series
Development Kit).
The
MTi Family Reference Manual
1
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 and MTi-670 Development Kits (MTi-630-DK
and MTi-670-DK). 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

.
The
MT Low Level Communication Protocol
1
document provides a complete reference for the
protocols used to communicate with Xsens Motion Trackers on low-level basis. The MT Low Level
Communication Protocol document also describes the synchronization messages and settings in
detail.
