BODAS 32-Bit Compact RC4-5 Controller

Bosch Rexroth’s BODAS 32-bit Compact RC4-5 controller is powered by 80 MHz, 32 bit TriCore technology.

• Combines computational power with a generous assortment of flexible inputs and outputs in a shielded aluminum package suited for the many rigors of mobile equipment applications
• Maximizes both hydraulic component and overall system performance
• Offers four fast and accurate Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) driver outputs with closed-loop current control
• Closed-loop current control compensates for real world changes in voltage and resistance to provide repeatable performance from machine to machine, day-in and day-out
• Adjustable parameters for solenoid current, linearization and PWM frequency easily adapts to a wide variety of 12- and 24V electro-proportional components
• Embedded software algorithms enables smooth and accurate power of hydraulics 
• Flexible set of inputs and outputs support wide variety of work, travel, auxiliary and operator functions for system integration
• Many common sensors for force, speed, pressure, position and temperature measurement may be directly connected to the controller
• Two CANbus channels offer communication gateways to wider array of devices including joysticks, displays and engines
• Compact envelope of approximately 5 in. x 6 in. x 2 in. fits equipment where installation space is usually limited
• Computational power meets needs of increased features, functionalities and performance specifications of mobile equipment
• Able to handle multiple simultaneous complex control tasks
• Software development is executed using standard C/C++ program language which leverages common knowledge and development tool chains already existing in industry
• C-API (C-Application Program Interface) encapsulates basic operations, fault detection, diagnostics and sophisticated control techniques for hydraulics in an easy-to-use library to boost development speed and application performance
• Included with the C-API is the interface for the mobile electronic support tool BODAS-service
• BODAS-service tool allows controllers to be FLASH programmed, configured, optimized, diagnosed, and data logged in a user friendly environment
