ctrlX Automation from Bosch Rexroth offers unlimited openness

Bosch Rexroth has developed the ctrlX Automation system, which has a Linux real-time operating system, completely open standards, app technology for programming, web-based engineering, and comprehensive IoT connectivity.

The automation platform offers unlimited openness. This applies to the choice of standards and interfaces used, as well as hardware and software integration. Automation components can be combined with each other as required. For example, the system’s MS2N motors can be operated on existing drive controllers, and the new ctrlX Drive controllers work together with CNC and motion controls MTX and MLC. Conversely, the ctrlX Core control can be used in combination with the drives and I/Os of existing product lines.
