RMOS3 is the real-time and multitasking-capable operating system from Siemens for implementing your automation solution with the programming languages C and C++. In mechanical engineering or in the manufacture of machine tools RMOS3 is used in test beds, packaging or printing machines where high response times in conjunction with open and closed-loop control tasks are required.

The new RMOS3 real-time operating system is characterized by increased security thanks to memory protection, minimum interrupt response times and fast hard disk access.

Furthermore, with the RMOS3 V3.50 version, Intel Core i processors with up to 2 cores/4 threads are now also supported. The "Symmetric Multicore Processing" (SMP) mode makes it possible to implement complex applications that are simultaneously processed on multiple processor cores. RMOS3 V3.50 ensures that the cores are symmetrically utilized so that a performance increase of up to 100% can be achieved on the SIMATIC IPC with 2 cores.

For SIMATIC IPC, automation solutions based on C/C++ with demands for hard real time, deterministic response and high performance can now be created more easily, conveniently and with greater stability.

RMOS3 has been optimized for use on PC platforms in embedded systems and fulfills industrial requirements with respect to:

• Real-time and multitasking capability
• Deterministic features
• Ruggedness
• Scalability/memory requirements
• Operation with or without an operator
• Modern development tools
• Quality assurance
• Warranty conditions
• Service & Support
