ONE CONTROL, THREE PLATFORMS
The smartphone of automation
With ctrlX AUTOMATION we have asked ourselves the question: What would automation look like if it were reinvented by a digital company?
Maximum openness on all levels
For field communication, ctrlX CORE relies on the EtherCAT ecosystem as standard. This opens up the entire world of EtherCAT peripheral devices, which can easily be integrated into the user’s own control topology. The key benefits include short cycle times thanks to the connection via EtherCAT Master.
