Product description

The WL600 directional module is designed to enable high accuracy measurement of the toolface(roll), inclination and azimuth orientation angles in borehole logging and drilling applications.

Using wide 10V~36V DC voltage power supply and adopting UART  asynchronous transmitter for digital transmission. It consists of 3-axisfluxgate magnetometersand3-axisaccelerometers.

Provided with temperature compensation function,  the WL600 enables the system reach to the accuracy of ±0.2°for inclination, ±0.2°for toolface and ±0.5° for azimuth.

The WL600 communicates with the outside world over a UART interface.  It is compatible with TTL and CMOS through logic level, and the baud rate is normally set at 300~115200 to operate. The user can change baud rate by setting data bits in E2PROM.

TWO communication protocols can be selected according to specific requirements:

(1) Binary system: under this system, user needs to send one bit for data request and WL600 responds with multi-bit data package.

(2) ASCII : ASCII  protocol acquires data by sending ASCII character to WL600. data returned from WL600 is transmitted as ASCII data flow，therefore can be easily indicated on the video terminal.
