Auto Switch over: Enables use of the gyroscope as of the minimum speed 'Switch
over Speed' (see below). The gyroscope is at its most accurate at high speeds. If the
speed drops, the gyroscope loses accuracy, as the ratio of drift rate to driven distance
becomes increasingly poorer. If the vehicle moves more slowly, the alignment is cal-
culated once again with the odometry.
–
Switch over Speed: Switchover threshold in metres / second with 'Auto Switch over'
enabled.
–
CAN ID Tx: Identifier with which the navigation controller transmits on the CAN bus
to the gyroscope (decimal value).
–
CAN ID Rx: Identifier with which the gyroscope transmits on the CAN bus to the nav-
igation controller (decimal value).

Screenshot: Configuration –> Servo
Servo refers to a framework consisting of activation and drive unit (servomotor). In combi-
nation with the navigation controller, servos made by Schneider Elektronik of the type IcIa
IFA and/or a special motor made by CPM can be used. Up to eight servos of this type can
be activated.
Note
The navigation controller usually transfers the steering angle and target speeds directly to
the vehicle control system, which then activates the vehicle actuator system accordingly. It
is only in exceptional cases that the navigation controller itself activates the vehicle actuator
system (servos), in which case the following settings must be made. This requires knowl-
edge of automatic control engineering. Where servos are deployed, Götting KG commis-
sioning support subject to charges is recommended.
