MPU-35A Master Processing Unit

The MPU-35A is the latest development from Azimuth, incorporating the MPU and TPS functionality for Tensor based MWD systems within a short chassis. Qualification and calibration to 185ºC ensures performance in the most demanding ‘hot-hole’ applications. Fully compatible with QDT-based orientation modules including Azimuth’s DOM-35A sensors.

Combined with the latest features such as high speed telemetry and CAN bus for fast download, QBus support and M-Ary telemetry, the unit delivers the latest features with a cost-effective upgrade path from legacy modules to the user. The MPU-35A module is qualified and tested under the same rigorous conditions expected of all Azimuth sensors and is fully compatible with existing Tensor based MWD systems.
