API for ctrlX drive

Does the ctrlX drive have a REST-API that can be used to gather data? The use case would be, for example, to monitor the temperature of a drive with an edge device. In this way, a ctrlX core could be used to make requests through Node-Red to the ctrlX drive.ย

There is no REST API directly in the ctrlX DRIVE. But when using a ctrlX CORE you can read drive parameter via the REST API of the Data Layer.

  1. Via the DRIVE Connect App:
    ctrlX CORE Data Layer drives
  2. Via the EtherCat master:
    ctrlX CORE Data Layer device access
