BODAS controller RC4-5 series 30
Compact and multifunctional control unit
There is often limited space in mobile working machines to install
electronic and hydraulic components for controlling the vehicle.
Therefore it is advantageous to use space-saving components.
Besides the required space, installing small controllers can often
be the first step towards electro-hydraulics in previously
conventionally controlled vehicles. With the BODAS controller
RC4-5 series 30, Bosch Rexroth provides an interesting and high-
quality solution for a broad range of construction machinery,
tractors, buses and municipal vehicles. It can also be used in
agricultural attachments and chassis superstructures.

proportional solenoids can be controlled as to compensate for
voltage and temperature fluctuations. There are five power
outputs to control the switching functions. The controller also has
outputs for loads with low currents as well as an analog voltage
output.
Application across a wide range of voltages and
temperatures
APPLICATIONS The controller can be used flexibly in both 12V and 24V vehicle
power supply networks and operates in a broad temperature
range from -40°C up to +85°C. This covers almost every single
field of application for mobile working machines. The 32-bit
processor ensures that there is sufficient computing power. There
are two high-speed CAN interfaces for communication, one of
which can be used for diagnostic access.
