Abstract
A system for determining a swing boom angle of an excavator. The excavator comprises a lower part, an upper part comprising a cabin, the upper part being arranged on the lower part and configured to be rotated relative to the lower part about a first rotation axis and a swing boom arranged on the upper part and configured to be rotated relative to the upper part about a second rotation axis that an actual swing boom position defines a swing boom angle. The system comprises a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to be mounted on the swing boom and to generate first IMU data, wherein the first IMU comprises at least one acceleration sensor and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to receive the first IMU data, determine a direction of a centripetal acceleration acting on the first IMU and determine the swing boom angle.
