One control handles both simple and complex winch and crane drives, helping you to generate new flexible systems quickly. The control system can easily be connected to a customer’s system using predefined interfaces. Numerous hardware variants in the form of an extensive modular system let you maximize flexibility and reduce costs and errors during commissioning by means of a simple “plug-and-play” interface.
In the software, for example, you can access standard modules for control functions. Integrated security features ensure compliance with the required safety level. The modular structure of the software makes using the control system very flexible, in both simple and complex applications. The designer can freely choose the degree of networking, also in terms of security features, according to the specific application requirements.
For example, for applications with a hydraulic power unit and a single winch drive you can use a cost-effective and compact integrated control system based on the BODAS RC28-14/30 controller.
Originally developed for mobile applications, the control is designed especially for use in harsh environments, as it can withstand large temperature changes as well as vibrations and shocks. The control is also compact, saving space on deck for workboats or platforms.
Modifications, enhancements, and the interface to the customer’s system can be tested and adjusted directly on a test stand provided by Rexroth. This saves an expensive commissioning and testing of the solution on board the ship.
You can also develop crane and winch systems with optional active heave compensation capabilities quickly and inexpensively.
