ctrlX CORE: the heart of ctrlX AUTOMATION<br><br>The industrial-grade and long-term available ctrlX CORE control platform has a broad range of applications and can be used, for example, in PLC applications in the general mechanical engineering market, in motion applications for simple handling tasks, and as a purely open and industrial-grade control platform for customer-specific expertise.<br><br>With numerous features on all levels – from the design and performance to software and networking – Bosch Rexroth thus offers much more than just a powerful control: ctrlX CORE is the integrated, flexible, and open control platform that equips every factory for the future.<br><br>By default, ctrlX CORE consistently relies on EtherCAT as the automation bus and, with integrated engineering, integrates seamlessly 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.<br><br>The ctrlX Device Portal allows the controls to be managed centrally and maintained and updated via remote access. Certified according to IEC 62443, ctrlX CORE securely connects the machine to the IT level.
