ctrlX AUTOMATION – PLC

ctrlX PLC offers a scalable PLC control solution and combines the advantages of classic PLC automation with the communication requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT) .
ctrlX AUTOMATION is embedded in the open automation platform and is based on the innovative ctrlX OS operating system . This allows functions to be easily expanded via apps . The ctrlX PLC can be individually adapted to the respective task – both via apps from the ctrlX App Store and third-party apps .

Security is our top priority – from the configuration of ctrlX AUTOMATION to the security-by-design approach and dedicated security apps that are certified according to IEC 62443 and can be individually supplemented.

Increasing efficiency in development

• Pre-built function blocks , program templates and automatic code generation via a REST interface
• Central data provision via the ctrlX Data Layer for seamless integration with other apps
• Data communication with other systems via established standards such as OPC UA
• Control of servo drives, I/O modules and other field devices via EtherCAT
• Network connection to other control systems via additional fieldbuses
• OPC UA integration according to the specifications of the Field Level Communication Initiative of the OPC Foundation
• Central management of the ctrlX PLC system via the ctrlX Device Portal
