Pepperl+Fuchs has joined the ctrlX World partner network from Bosch Rexroth. The partner network expands the range of solutions for the modular automation system ctrlX AUTOMATION with hardware compatible with the Linux-based operating system ctrlX OS. As a ctrlX World partner, Pepperl+Fuchs will contribute selected products to the ctrlX OS ecosystem.
Support of open architecture
As a global technology leader in automation and a driver of IIoT projects, Pepperl+Fuchs has always embraced open systems and standardised interfaces. "Future-proof automation can only succeed if we move away from proprietary manufacturer standards even more than before and remove the barriers between system levels," emphasizes Sebastian Stöber, Vice President Business Unit Systems at Pepperl+Fuchs. "As part of our long-standing collaboration with Bosch Rexroth, we welcome the open architecture concept of ctrlX OS and are pleased to support this promising initiative with our products and solutions."
ctrlX OS is a real-time-capable, Linux-based operating system from Bosch Rexroth that can be used from the field level to edge devices and the cloud. This system software can be used independently of the control hardware. Users benefit from consistently open standards, app programming technology, web-based engineering and a comprehensive IoT connection.
