Epiroc has just released RCS 5.7, the new update to Epiroc’s Rig Control System, RCS 5. Since its release in 2019, RCS 5 has delivered advanced safety and interlock features and a flexible platform to add new functionalities without major machine overhauls. Whether operating drills manually with options like AutoDrill and AutoLevel or autonomously, Epiroc says RCS 5 empowers operators to optimise performance and safety.
The new updated Automatic Bit Changer introduces Teleremote support, allowing operators to change bits safely from the control room. With an improved interface and refined controller tolerances, this feature enhances reliability and ensures smoother operation, boosting overall performance and versatility.
The AutoDrill 2 update brings significant advancements to rotary and DTH operations. Upgraded air controls, refined collaring, and improved hole cleaning result in higher accuracy and efficiency, delivering consistent, high-quality results for every drill.
Operators can now also manage TUM codes remotely through the LinkOA application. This innovation allows real-time synchronisation between the office and drills, reducing operator workload and improving accuracy in time accounting.
“RCS 5.7 drives the future of automated rigs with unmatched performance and value. These updates to our Rig Control System RCS 5 continue to elevate efficiency and productivity in mining operations,” said Carla Chaname , Product Manager.
