BODAS BSW
Basic software for efficient programming of BODAS RC/40
controllers
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
▪ Powerful basic software with comprehensive support
▪ Secure access restrictions, thanks to HSM support
▪ A graphical, cloud-based tool makes configuration easy
▪ Suitable for strict safety requirements
▪ Can be integrated with individual flash and diagnostic tools
APPLICATIONS
Due to increasing electronification, application software has
become a central time and cost factor in the development of
mobile machines. It is therefore important that software
developers can focus on the implementation of machine and
safety functions - without worrying about hardware resources or
communication protocols in lower software layers. With BODAS
BSW, Bosch Rexroth offers a hardware abstraction layer for this
purpose. It enables efficient development of application software
for freely programmable BODAS RC/40 controllers. BODAS BSW
can be configured online via easyConfig.
FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
Powerful basic software with extensive support
The Rexroth basic software has a real-time operating system and
a programming interface (API) for developing application software
in the high-level language C. API allows easy access to
numerous system resources, e.g. several different CAN bus
protocols, inputs and outputs for reading physical parameters,
reference values, status and error information.
A comprehensive range of functions with detailed documentation
and programming examples make programming easier. Many
features, such as task management and hardware monitoring,
are also executed by BODAS BSW in the background without
requiring extra programming.
Secure access restrictions, thanks to HSM support
Due to the support of a hardware security module (HSM) with
seed key mechanism and access level handling, secure access
restrictions can be implemented with BODAS BSW.
