ctrlX CORE is the Industry 4.0 control of the future

ctrlX CORE is the heart of the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform. A high-performance 64-bit multicore CPU forms the basis for 70% of all general automation tasks.

With its open and flexible architecture, the Linux-based multicore technology breaks down the boundaries between embedded system platforms and drive-based technology – from the design and performance to software and connectivity.

 

Consistent performance for automation without limits

This ultra-compact and powerful control platform processes data comprehensively when ctrlX I/O is activated. Additional communication protocols and I/O modules are available in the same form factor to simplify scaling.

  • Unlimited performance from 64-bit multicore processors
  • Flexible extensibility with performance and I/O functions
  • Optimum distribution of applications to the CPU cores
  • Ready for integration into the EtherCAT ecosystem
  • Multi-Ethernet slave connectivity
  • Robust hardware design
  • Less engineering: one control system for all platforms
