Rexroth allows users to easily configure, parameterize, and optimize valves via a smartphone app, thanks to onboard electronics (OBED) that have been digitized. Connect valves easily and wirelessly via Bluetooth dongle & IO-Link and benefit from real-time data access without a fieldbus. It’s never been easier to configure hydraulic valves, set them to optimal dynamics, and read error messages.

Connect to the digital control electronics OBED of Bosch Rexroth hydraulic valves via Bluetooth with the Easy2Connect iOS app in the Apple App Store. This speeds up commissioning, increases productivity, and maximizes availability. OBED is compatible with Rexroth valves (Z)3DRE(E)(A), DBEGT(E)(A), DBEM(E)(A), and 4WRA(E).
The solution can be retrofitted to existing Bluetooth valves via a compact Bluetooth dongle with LED status and wireless communication for fast setup, secure connectivity, and streamlined field work. Android support is expected soon, in the Google Play Store.
