Small, compact and available with optional built-in Wi-Fi – that’s our sysWORXX CTR-600
The smart gateway solution

The sysWORXX CTR-600 is a freely programmable Linux module for industrial applications. It is used as a fieldbus gateway, edge controller and compact controller.
Fast, compact and powerful, just like its big brother, the CTR-800, it enables simple application development in no time at all using the low-code environment Node-RED. The CTR-600 can also be programmed as a PLC in accordance with IEC 61131-3 using the CODESYS programming environment.
Our CTR-600 offers two independent Ethernet interfaces for separate networks and, optionally, a Wi-Fi interface. It is also designed for minimal energy consumption – ideal for efficient industrial IoT applications.
Furthermore, the CTR-600 supports common high-level programming languages ranging from C/C++, through Rust, C# (.NET Core) and Java, to Python. Via standard protocols such as MQTT and REST, the CTR module is ready for use with all major cloud providers. We take the integration of IT and OT to a new level.
Scalable in terms of functionality and interfaces, the sysWORXX CTR-600 is a multi-talented device in a compact form factor. The controller can be used as an IoT coupler, for example as a translator between different protocols such as MQTT, Modbus and CANopen.
