KONGSBERG MRU-M-SU1 DCS PLC Module

Product Description:

The KONGSBERG MRU-M-SU1 is a Marine Reference Unit (MRU), designed and manufactured by KONGSBERG for DCS (Distributed Control System) applications, specifically in marine and offshore industries. The MRU is a highly accurate motion sensor system used to measure attitude, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw movements of ships, rigs, and other marine platforms. This system integrates with DCS PLCs to ensure that critical motion parameters are precisely controlled and monitored for safe operation in dynamic marine environments.

The MRU-M-SU1 provides real-time motion data for stabilization systems, platform control, and dynamic positioning (DP) systems. Its high precision and reliability are essential for reducing the risk of operational errors in challenging conditions, such as rough seas or offshore environments where motion and positioning are crucial.
