The flexibility and safety requirements for electronic control units
in mobile machines are growing. With the BODAS Controllers
RC18-12 and RC27-18, Bosch Rexroth has increased the
scalability of the series 40: The devices differ only in the number
of their available power outputs. They are pin-compatible with
each other and to the smaller RC5-6/40 controllers. The series 40
also features a new technological foundation in terms of hardware
and basic software, so it meets not only current but future
requirements – especially in terms of functional safety, data
integrity, and flexibility of inputs and outputs and communication
interfaces. The controllers are suitable for all applications – from
agricultural and forestry machinery to material-handling and
construction machines.
