5.6 Wear parts
The physical read-only memory (eMMC) of the control has a limited number of write cycles. Retrieve the
current status of the read-only memory via the ctrlX CORE web interface:
“ctrlX CORE side navigation
🠂 Settings 🠂 Information 🠂 tab "Resources" 🠂 Sensors” .
Notes on sensor values:
•"0 - 10% of eMMC life time used" means that up to 10 % of the maximum write cycles can be used.
•Create a backup if the value exceeds 80%.
•Replace the hardware if the value exceeds 80%.
•Use an external memory to extend the service life of the permanent memory.
•The frequency of the refresh cycle depends on the service life of the memory. If a refresh cycle is
not possible anymore, data can be lost.
Notes on the temperature display:
•"Temperature (CPU)" shows the internal CPU temperature.
•"Temperature" shows the temperature on the PCB.

Loss of CE conformity due to modifications at the device.
CE marking applies only to the device upon delivery. After modifying the device, verify the CE
conformity.
For the CE declaration of conformity, go to the Bosch Rexroth media directory: ⮫ www.bos-
chrexroth.com/MediaDirectory, search term ⮫ "DCTC-30455-001".
8.3 UL/CSA certified
The devices ctrlX CORE X2 and ctrlX CORE X3 are certified acc. to:
•UL 61010-2-201 (Industrial Control Equipment) and
•CSA22.2 No. 61010-2-201 (CSA)
However, there can be combinations or extension stages with a limited or missing certification. Thus,
verify the registration according to the UL marking on the device.
Loss of UL/CSA conformity due to modifications at the device.
UL and CSA marking applies only to the device upon delivery. After modifying the device, verify
the UL and the CSA conformity.
To guarantee an UL/CSA-compliant operation, the following conditions have to be met:
−Use only insulated copper wires suitable for at least 60 °C
8.4 UK declaration of conformity
The products comply with the UK directive acc. to S.I. 2016/1091 (electromagnetic compatibility).
For the UK declaration of conformity, go to the Bosch Rexroth media directory: ⮫ www.boschrex-
roth.com/mediadirectory, search term:⮫ "DCTC-30455-030".

9.1.1 Local bus interface Ethercat of ctrlX COREPLUS X3
The local bus connected to the ctrlX COREPLUS at the right is a 100 MBit/s LVDS Ethercat bus and
the cycle time between 2 ms and 10 ms. The ctrlX COREPLUS can be extended with up to 20 ctrlX
I/O modules. The number of connectable modules depends on the total current consumption of the
ctrlX IO modules. The ctrlX COREPLUS can provide up to 3 A for the current supply of the modules.
The ctrlX COREPLUS supplies the connected I/O modules with the logic voltage ULand the periphery
voltage UP. The voltages and currents fed in are measured internally and applied to the process data.
For UL, only the current consumption of the infeed terminal and the I/O modules. For the integration
into the parent system, the respective ESI files are available. For the ESI files, go to ⮫ http://www.bos-
chrexroth.com/electrics.
