THE EVOLUTION OF A REVOLUTION

Epiroc’s new Rig Control System (RCS 5) makes full automation easier and more productive than ever before! RCS 5 provides a number of safety and interlock features, as well as a foundation to add new functionality/options later without a major rebuild of the machine. With RCS 5, you can run your drills with an operator on board using options such as Autodrill and Autolevel — or you can run with the operator off the drill with the optional BenchREMOTE package, allowing one operator to run one or multiple units.

Join the evolution

Epiroc's new and enhanced Rig Control System allows our partners around the world to further advance their operations, saving valuable time and dollars while increasing predictability and safety with either on-board or autonomous operations.

RCS 5 brochure - English

RCS 5 is packed with features to increase safety, productivity, and profitability.

Control hub	This new design enables the ability to focus on the task at hand and switch seamlessly between screens in a well-organized and dynamic environment.
Drilling data screen	The new Drilling Data Screen in RCS 5 features real time depth monitoring and creates a penetration rate histogram so you can easily monitor what’s happening in the hole.
Drilling plan manager	With RCS 5 you can now create and edit drill plans on-board the rig or from a remote location quickly and easily. If you create drill plans in a separate application, RCS 5 makes it even easier to upload and clear drill plans.
Digital driller's log	All key parameters are tracked during the shift helping to make end of shift reports by operator easier than ever.
Set up and tram screens	The system automatically detects between setup and propel and displays the appropriate functions on the screen for you.

Add-on features

• Machine-to-machine communication Machines operating on the same pattern can now share real-time updates of the progress each drill is making against the drill plan.
• Auto tower angle (ATA) This new feature allows for remote angle adjustment and pinning of the drill tower.
• Integrated camera view Multiple displays can cause confusion so we have integrated the camera feed into the RCS 5 screen.
