MRU 3

This cost-effective MRU 3 model is built on 3-axis Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Structures (MEMS) sensors, providing accurate and reliable measurements for both linear acceleration and angular rate, thanks to solid state sensors with no rotational or mechanical wear-out parts. The MRU 3 also comes with a Windows-based configuration and data presentation software, which allows for defining vector arms from the MRU's mounted location to the centre of gravity (CG) and two configurable monitoring points. These precise outputs and configuration options make the MRU an invaluable tool for maritime operations.

MRU 3 stands out with its ability to deliver real-time roll, pitch, and heave measurements along with linear acceleration across three axes. The unit outputs heave position and velocity and the angular rate vectors for roll and pitch. With the latest PFreeHeave algorithm, MRU 3 can output correct and phase-free heave data, an advantage for applications such as seabed mapping. Utilizing external speed and heading input together with time synchronization features, the MRU 3 ensures improved accuracy even during vessel turns and accelerations.

Ensuring versatility for users, the fifth generation MRU is equipped with Ethernet interface and serial lines that allow for easy data distribution to multiple users on board the vessel. The unit boasts a high data output rate and compatibility with various digital I/O protocols, ensuring seamless operation with commonly used survey equipment. In addition, the MRU 3 features selectable communication protocols in its configuration software, underscoring the sensor's adaptability to specific maritime data systems and requirements.
