Bosch Rexroth's PLC solution supports a wide range of communication protocols, including EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET. It recently opened its ctrlX OS software to be used by third-party automation providers, making the solution incredibly flexible, as customers can use the company’s PLC software to not only code ctrlX CORE controllers, but also other third-party controllers that can run the ctrlX OS.
