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

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!
