IEC 61508 SIL 1 functional safety for industrial IMUs
The Epson M-G355 is a high-performance 6-DOF IMU with IEC 61508 SIL 1 functional safety. Thanks to its high stability, low drift, and SPI/UART interfaces, it fits in industrial applications where safety, stability and reliability are critical.
Built on the conventional M-G366PDG0 form factor, it integrates seamlessly into existing designs, reducing development effort. The M-G355 strengthens and extends Epson’s 1-inch platform, providing more choices to match the right functions and performance to each application’s requirements.
