    FT GPS CAN: GPS and inertial measurement straight into your Vision FT VCU.

    The FT GPS CAN brings position, speed, altitude, heading and G-forces into your VCU, from track day to drag strip. With a GNSS receiver running up to 25 Hz, a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope at 100 Hz, and FTCAN 2.0 communication, it feeds the VCU's longitudinal, lateral and vertical acceleration channels. The external active antenna with SMA connector can be mounted on the roof, trunk lid or dash, while the module, housed in a metal enclosure, stays protected inside the cabin. The navigation mode is user-configurable, and the firmware can be updated for future releases.

    Description

    The FT GPS CAN is FuelTech's satellite positioning module with an integrated inertial measurement unit. Compatible with the FTCAN 2.0 protocol, it delivers position, speed, altitude, heading, distance traveled, acceleration and angular velocity on all three axes to the Vision FT line.

    The GNSS receiver works in two selectable modes:

    • 25 Hz GPS-only – for racing line and drag launch analysis.
    • 10 Hz multi-constellation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou) – for a more robust signal on tracks with tunnels, trees or grandstands, and for street use.

    The accelerometer (±16 g) and gyroscope (±2000 °/s) are transmitted at 100 Hz on all six axes, regardless of the GNSS mode.

    Key Specs

    • GNSS update rate: up to 25 Hz (GPS-only) or 10 Hz (multi-constellation)
    • Accelerometer: 3-axis, ±16 g, 100 Hz
    • Gyroscope: 3-axis, ±2000 °/s, 100 Hz
    • Communication: FTCAN 2.0
    • Antenna: external active antenna with SMA connector
    • Enclosure: metal housing
    • Firmware: field-updatable via Vision FT software

    Important Information

    • The FT GPS CAN is compatible with Vision FT line VCUs via the FTCAN 2.0 network.
    • The FT GPS CAN can be used with PowerFT line ECUs via the FTCAN 2.0 network; however, these units only receive the GPS speed reading and record it in the datalog. All other data requires a Vision FT line VCU.
    • Navigation mode selection (10 Hz multi-constellation or 25 Hz GPS-only) and firmware updates are done through the Vision FT software.
    • 25 Hz mode uses the GPS constellation only and requires a properly installed antenna and a clear view of the sky.
    • The track database is stored in the VCU.
    • A wiring harness is required for installation and is not included: SwitchPanel / EGT-4 CAN Harness
