3.3 RBU
RBU (Rapid Backup Unit) unlocks a specified level of functionality and acts as a back-
up unit for the configuration of PF. There are different types of RBU; Gold, Silver,
Bronze, X (for ETX tool functionality) and DS (for Tensor DS tool functionality). The
RBU Gold unlocks the full capacity and functionality of the Power Focus. Combine the
RBU giving the required functionality with the chosen hardware.
For a list of the current RBU functionality, contact your Atlas Copco representative.
When an RBU is plugged in to an empty PF, the RBU configuration is transferred to the controller. This
allows the quick installation and replacement of controllers on the assembly line.
