Upgrade without Re-Engineering

UCOS lets you upgrade hardware without having to change the logic that controls the hardware.

In most control systems, the logic is hardware dependent. Change the hardware and you almost always have to change the logic.

In a UCOS system, the logic is written without regard to the specific piece of hardware. The hardware driver takes care of translating commands to and from UCOS.

That means you can replace a piece of equipment with a similar piece of equipment from an entirely different manufacturer. Typically, it will work with little or no further fine-tuning.

For a more detailed explanation of how this works, check out the Hardware Independent page on this web site.

Suffice it to say, that this feature alone can save you a ton of money and time. It means that as long as you have UCOS, you can upgrade your hardware whenever you're ready.
