Specifications

• Position in LATITUDE, LONGITUDE and ALTITUDE
• Present Depth of Cutter
• Width of cutter from CENTER LINE
• The DMU is an independent system but can also be incorporated into larger systems, usually as a signal source for the automation of the dredging process, such as the automatic cutter or wheel controller.
• Has provision to integrate more Dredger Parameters like Pressure, Voltage, Vacuum etc. making a total Dredger Supervisory Unit.
• Components of DMU
• There are 3 major components in DMU
• DIGITAL PROCESSING UNIT(DPU) unit with 5 inch Monocrome display and inbuilt GPS.
• INCLINOMETER sensor connected to Processor Unit used to measure the Depth of the cutter.
• Tilt Compensated Magnetometer measures the HEADING value of the Dredger.
• DPU processes signals received from Inclinometer and Heading sensor and calculates the Depth and Width of cutter for given Dredger Parameters and Also Displays the present Location Latitude and Longitude by using GPS.
