Step 6 – Installing the ctrlX CORE app

on the control.
Information on the ctrlX app concept
Upon delivery, only system apps to operate the control are installed on a ctrlX
CORE control.
As for a “smart device”, the functionality of the control can be extended by
installing apps and the requirement of the automation project can be modified.
The Rexroth “Online store” provides apps for different functions, refer to
Chapter 7 “Rexroth ‒
“Online store”
” on page 25
.
To supplement the “Online store”, the ctrlX CORE web interface provides the
“Local storage”. To directly store apps on the control, go to the “Local storage”.
Thus, apps can also be installed if there is no internet connection to the Online
store.
The Rexroth Online store is currently designed and not yet available!
For apps, contact your Rexroth marketing contact.
The app is provided as data packet. Save the data packet locally on your engi-
neering PC. The data packet is required in the following steps for installation
purposes on the control.
