ctrlX developR Series

ctrlX AUTOMATION on demand

Taking part in a webinar at a specific time to learn more about the new ctrlX CORE control platform is no longer appropriate in our view and is certainly not TWO STEPS AHEAD. We have therefore come up with the ctrlX developR Series in which the ctrlX developR´s personally explain everything about ctrlX AUTOMATION that could be helpful from their point of view – and in a way that can be watched at any time.

They demonstrate tools such as the Software Development Kit, the ctrlX Configurator and the ctrlX Data Layer and use specific examples to show how easy programming is with ctrlX AUTOMATION. In complementary how-to videos, there are deep dives which leave no question unanswered.

ctrlX developR Series – Season #1

This is ctrlX AUTOMATION! The 11 episodes in the first part of the ctrlX developR Series provide expert insights into the ctrlX AUTOMATION toolkit. Why and how was ctrlX AUTOMATION developed? What are its USPs and with what tools and features are we changing the world of automation? The heart of the platform, the award-winning ctrlX CORE control platform, is unboxed and the first projects are tackled. We then talk about security solutions, the ctrlX World partner network and programming with Python and Google Blockly. Judging from the click figures and comments, people are wanting more: So catch you on the next one – in Season 2.

#1 – This is ctrlX AUTOMATION

The first episode of our ctrlX developR Series is live. Here we first give some exciting background information about ctrlX AUTOMATION.

#2 – Getting started

In episode 2, we show how easy it is to get the ctrlX CORE up and running.

#3 – ctrlX Data Layer

ctrlX Data Layer - the nervous system of our automation platform - it connects the individual apps with each other.

#4 – ctrlX Device Portal

A central device management is absolutely not a standard for industrial devices, but it is urgently needed.

#5 – SDK

With our SDK, we enable developers to program and integrate exactly those apps they need for their individual functions and requirements.

#6 – ctrlX World – Partner apps

Become a partner and integrate own apps. With our partner Mirasoft, we show how easy it is.

#7 – Security

ctrlX AUTOMATION builds on a holistic security concept: Episode 7 shows why, among other things, remote maintenance has become more important with Industry 4.0.

#8 – Rest interface & automated configuration

Basic requirements for an open and future-proof platform are standardized interfaces. More about using the REST interface.

#9 – ctrlX AUTOMATION Community

The ctrlX AUTOMATION Community offers a platform for developers - knowledge exchange, application examples and tips.

#10 – Python

Our Game Changers show what can be done with Python and ctrlX AUTOMATION, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.

#11 – Graphical programming

The first episode of our ctrlX developR series is live. Here we first give some exciting background information about ctrlX AUTOMATION.

ctrlX developR Series – Season #2

The second season features six episodes and focuses on the numerous possible uses for ctrlX AUTOMATION. Each episode is complemented by a how-to video which explains all of the processes step by step.

The ctrlX developR´s guide you through a complete pick-and-place application starting with configuration, setup and programming up to the final demonstration of the application.

#1 – Configure components

ctrlX developR is back with the second season! The first season shows how users can configure intuitively, easily and flawlessly with the ctrlX Configurator.

#4 – Implement machine safety

Episode 4 of season 2 is all about machine safety: compact design, scalability, efficient engineering and much more.

Watch the how-to video

#5 – Create web-based HMI

In this episode, a web-based HMI application is created for visualization and operation of the ctrlX CORE using a web panel.
