ctrlX CORE the heart of ctrlX AUTOMATION

The industrial-grade and long-term available ctrlX CORE control platform has a broad range of applications and can e.g. be used in PLC applications in the general mechanical engineering market via motion applications for simple handling tasks and as pure open and industrial-grade control platform for customer-specific expertise.

With numerous features on all levels - from the design via the performance to the software and networking, Bosch Rexroth thus offers much more than only a powerful control. ctrlX CORE is the integrated, flexible and open control platform preparing every factory for the future.

By default, ctrlX CORE consistently relies on EtherCAT as automation bus and with integrated engineering, smoothly integrates into the standardized ecosystem. At the same time, the platform supports all common communication standards for connection to the IT level. The Linux-based operating system is open for the integration of all ctrlX CORE and ctrlX WORKS engineering apps as well as other partners and customer-specific apps. The integrated ctrlX Data Layer manages the communication between the apps in real-time and non-real-time.

The ctrlX Device Portal allows the controls to be managed centrally and maintained and updated remotely. Certified according to IEC 62443, ctrlX CORE securely connects the machine to the IT level.
