Future-proof digitalization and automation technologies must be open, flexible, easily scalable, and secure at the same time. Whether it's mechanical and systems engineering, building and energy automation, the convergence of IT and OT applications is strongly supported and promoted by industry players. As the first system and technology partner, WAGO introduced the Bosch Rexroth ctrlX OS operating system in 2023, which has reached a new level of cooperation and brought many advantages to many users and contributed to the open development of automation.
ctrlX OS is a system designed for real-time applications and can be used at all levels – from the field level and edge devices to the cloud level. With its new openness, it removes all previous boundaries and creates a new space for users to move. After installing ctrlX OS, the entire ecosystem is accessible, and the required applications are also available for download on the ctrlX store. So what are the benefits and conveniences of the innovative ctrlX OS automation open platform for industrial workers? 3 Q&A will give you a comprehensive understanding.
Q: What are the common goals of both parties as partners in systems and technology?
A: As the first system and technology partner, WAGO is helping to shape and integrate the ctrlX OS industrial Linux® operating system for industries and applications into WAGO's automation portfolio. Therefore, the goal of both parties is to create a "market of possibilities" through an open automation platform and to establish ctrlX automation as a market standard through joint development, driving innovation in the field of industrial automation.
Q: What benefits will the ctrlX OS bring to WAGO customers?
A: Customers are accustomed to a high degree of freedom when using WAGO automation systems, such as the WAGO I/O 750, where they always get the right module for a wide range of field signals and the right master for a wide range of fieldbuses. Since 2006, WAGO has been offering Linux-based® programmable controllers as operating systems, making it possible to develop extended functions in-house.
At present, ctrlX OS is based on Ubuntu Core LTS, and its pure and open architecture provides very suitable and well-defined interfaces and microservices for most automation devices. Customers can choose from different engineering and runtime systems, as well as a wide range of additional applications from more than 70 ctrlX global partners, so the freedom is even greater.
Q: What are the customer benefits of integrating the ctrlX OS operating system with WAGO's automation product family?
A: ctrlX is a modular system that allows for flexible, scalable control and easy integration with a wide range of different systems, allowing us to provide our customers with reliable, powerful and efficient control systems that help them improve productivity and sustainability. At the same time, we can also provide customers with tailor-made solutions and meet their specific needs. With ctrlX, Bosch Rexroth aims to make automation even smarter and better meet customer needs by simplifying the installation process, reducing commissioning time and updating from any device at any time as needed.
Advantages of cooperation:
● Integration of the ctrlX OS operating system into future WAGO controllers.
● Through the joint development of the ctrlX automation platform, the degree of freedom of automation users is improved.
● Development of industry-specific applications.
● Integrate other partners to create a world-leading platform.

Classification of Rexroth solenoid valves and their introduction
1. Direct-acting solenoid valve
Principle: When the normally closed type is energized, the electromagnetic coil generates electromagnetic force to lift the open part from the valve seat and open the valve; When the power is off, the electromagnetic force disappears, the spring presses the opening on the valve seat, and the valve is open.
Features: In vacuum, negative pressure, zero pressure ...

Rexroth hydraulic pump - the reason why the piston pump cannot be pressurized
1. The filter on the suction pipeline is blocked;
2. The oil level of the hydraulic oil tank is too low;
3. The R angle of the variable mechanism is too small, so that the flow rate is too small, and the influence of internal leakage is added, so it cannot continuously supply pressure oil to the outside world;
4. The strain between the oil distribution pan and the contact surface of the cylinder block is serious, and it is not sealed or ...
