ctrlX OS
The great freedom in automation: ctrlX OS – the real-time capable, Linux-based operating system that was previously used exclusively on the control platform ctrlX CORE is now available as a separate solution for the industrial environment. It is designed for real-time use and can be deployed at all levels – from the field level to edge devices to the cloud.
The operating system is hardware-independent and seamlessly connects even more automation components with the entire ctrlX AUTOMATION portfolio, including additional digital services. With the installation of ctrlX OS, users gain access to the partner world ctrlX World, the ctrlX Store or the ctrlX Device Portal, among others.
Across all levels of the automation topology, software-based functions can be developed, installed, updated, and operated even more easily and flexibly. Bosch Rexroth thus maps the prerequisites for the software-powered factory and enables modern software practices such as virtual testing and DevOps in automation.
