RMOS3 impresses customers with its industrial compatibility as an embedded operating system for maximum response times in closed-loop and open-loop control tasks and is the basis for high-performance customer solutions with SIMATIC IPC.

Due to the new properties of version V3.50, such as support of "Symmetric Multicore Processing" on Core i processors and long-term accurate time with the help of the HPET, its ruggedness, industrial compatibility and performance have been further enhanced. Memory protection for applications in the FLAT (GNU) memory module, APIC support for high-performance interrupt mode as well as UDMA support for faster access to mass memories are additional core elements of RMOS3.

In combination with the widely used GNU development tools and the Eclipse development environment, the development of C/C++ based automation solutions is even more efficient.

The configurable nucleus that has been available since RMOS3 V3.50 is already preconfigured and can be installed immediately and completely adapted to the hardware and software requirements of your target system via an initialization file. The configurable nucleus supports the PCs from the SIMATIC IPC range and is optimally coordinated with the available additional functions and the hardware features.

With optional products and Board Support Packages (BSP) you can integrate additional functions and drivers into your application. The Board Support Package BSP SIMATIC IPC V4.0 is the complete package for operating the following SIMATIC IPCs with RMOS3 V3.50 or higher:

• IPC227D
• IPC427C
• IPC627C and IPC827C
• IPC647C and IPC847C

The additional RMOS3-GNU software package is available for development and for testing applications for RMOS3. The new development platform is based on the GNU tool chain well-known and widely used in UNIX / Linux environments and contains all expansions necessary for developing RMOS3 applications. The Eclipse development interface and the integrated graphical cross debugger make it easier than ever to create applications for RMOS3.
