The Bosch Rexroth R911389752 is a sophisticated industrial PC control solution designed to cater to a range of applications requiring robust motion control and visualization. This model, based on the VPB and MLC systems, delivers exceptional performance and flexibility by integrating Motion Control with the ability to run various software tools for tasks such as visualization, process data processing, analysis, and reporting. The unit's advanced features are made possible through a hypervisor that efficiently allocates the hardware resources of the Box PC—engineered specifically for control cabinet installations—to both the MLC real-time capable Motion Control system and an open Windows operating system. This dual capability ensures that users get the most out of their equipment in terms of efficiency and functionality, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments where precision and reliability are paramount.

Based on the VPB40, MLC provides a powerful and flexible industrial PC control solution. In addition to the Motion Control application, it is also possible to run powerful software tools for visualization, process data processing, analyses or reporting on the same control hardware. A subordinate hypervisor distributes the hardware resources of the Box PC, which is designed for control cabinets, to the MLC real-time-capable Motion Control system and to the Windows 7 open operating system. As a result, MLC provides even more performance and flexibility for maximum efficiency in any application.
