Introduction of RCS

What is RCS?
 RCS (Rig Control System) is a control system for Atlas Copco equipment
 Designed for monitoring and controlling the equipment
 Built utilizing the CAN 2.0 architecture
 Developed and maintained by Atlas Copco
 Common hardware between any Atlas Copco equipment using RCS
Same hardware on LHD, TME, SDE and ADS equipment, but different software
 The future control system for Atlas Copco LHD equipment

Introduction of RCS

What is CAN?
 CAN is short for Controller Area Network
 Serial network technology for embedded solutions
 Originally designed by Bosch for automotive industry
 Designed for maximum performance and reliability
 Operates at data rates up to 1 Mbit/sec
 Is an international standard: ISO 11898
RIG CONTROL SYSTEM
Introduction of RCS

Why did Bosch invent CAN?

The original electrics used in vehicles (cars, buses…), called point-to-point or dedicated wiring, started
to get very complex due to higher demands of electrical components in vehicles which lead to expensive
and bulky harnesses that were very heavy and very troublesome to work with design wise

Introduction of RCS

What are the benefits with CAN?

CAN provides an inexpensive, durable network that helps multiple CAN devices communicate with
one another. This gives large advantages such as that electronic control units (ECUs) can have a single
CAN interface rather than multiple analog and digital inputs to every device in the system.
This decreases overall costs and weights but also adds intelligence to each and every device

Introduction of RCS

Where is CAN used today?

 Wherever two or more microprocessor units need to communicate with each other
 In passenger cars (often multiple separate CAN networks)
 In robotics (motion control applications)
 In passenger/cargo trains (for brake control, wagon communication)
 In aircrafts
 In elevators
 In building technologies (light and door control systems, sensors etc)
 In medical equipment (X-rays, CAT scanners etc)
 In Aerospace technology (sattelites etc)

 In trucks, buses, and UNDERGROUND LOADERS

CAN cables

General rules for CAN cable routing < 200 mm

 The weakest point on a cable is the connector

 Minimum bending diameter is 200 mm
 Make sure all contacts are relieved so they can’t Correct Incorrect
move if the cable moves
 Put all CAN cables in a protection hose and make
sure they are covered all the way
 If the cable is in a position where it will move,
fix the protection hose in both ends
 Route the CAN cables separate from other cables
such as power cables or analog cables
 If you use cable ties, make sure that they do not cut
in to the cable jacket or even deform the cable Correct Incorrect

 If the CAN cable is too long, make big bends and hide it
but make sure that the minimum bending diameter is 200 mm
