Differences RCS versions
Difference in Communication
• Communication Protocols
– In RCS3 an internal Atlas CAN protocol is used partly or completely for the
communication in the system
– In RCS4 the CAN Open protocol is used for all communication within the
system, except from the engine, where J1939 is still used
– In RCS5, Ethernet is used as a standard for extending the capacity of the
system, in addition to the CAN protocol. Ethernet supports non-operational
activities such as file transfer

Differences RCS versions
RCS5 Updates
• Etherner router
• Supports non-operational activites such as file transfer
• Green ethernet cables
• Connected to display, application module and CCI

What´s new on RCS Linux for TME Products
RCS Linux
• New operator panel
• New system layout and module naming
• Newer type I/O modules and safe modules
• New type fuse box
• New type cables with M12 plugs
• New Resolver with M12 plugs
• New contour sensors with cable tail
• Updated system schematics
• Updated service kit for trouble shooting
• New Memory stick (colour/capacity)
• Coefficients transducer pressure sensors 10
Differences RCS versions
Advantages of Linux system RCSOS
• RCS5 RTOS software system was out dated & not supported in best way
• Better machine performance
• Easier to extend & build programmes for future developments (automation)
• Programme fault finding easier (developers)
• Smaller modules as resolver module, can be placed at more accessible locations on machines.
• Yellow cables are more visible to operator reducing damage
• M12 plugs better sealed reducing moisture issues
