The BODAS RC36-20 controller from Rexroth utilises 32-bit TriCore technology to increase the functionality and performance of electronic control in mobile hydraulics equipment applications.
The TriCore technology is an ideal fit as the universal central ECU for mobile equipment
The controller provides a central electronic control unit (ECU) platform for modern, efficient, electro-hydraulic system solutions. It allows equipment builders and operators to expand mobile equipment functions and reduce energy consumption – thereby reducing costs. Plus, the system’s rugged compact, design means it can easily replace multiple 16-bit controllers or smaller programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, helping to save valuable installation space and reduce wiring.
With 125 input and output channels as well as four CAN bus interfaces, the BODAS RC36-20 serves as the central ECU for complex multifunction machines. It offers a flexible platform for deploying new mobile applications, which include 'shift on fly' gear shifting, electro-hydraulic flow matching (EFM) for operating functions, or the hydrostatic regenerative brake system (HRB) from Rexroth.
Compared to PLC systems, the extended functionality and processing power offers considerable advantages in mobile applications. The unit’s space-saving design, condensing a 32-bit device into a controller with a surface area less than half an A4 sheet, was developed from Bosch's extensive testing and experience in the automotive sector.
Resistant to the demanding conditions of the mobile work environment, the housing is rated for IP65 protection against water spray-down penetration, shock, vibration, moisture, salt spray and electromagnetic radiation.
