Bosch Rexroth 0360 Series Technical Notes

The Bosch Rexroth 0360 Series — part of the IndraControl L compact controller platform — is a modular automation system deployed across continuous-process heavy industries including petrochemical refineries, nuclear power auxiliary systems, offshore drilling control, and large-scale chemical processing plants. Its compact backplane architecture allows high-density I/O integration within space-constrained control cabinets, making it a preferred platform for brownfield retrofits and long-lifecycle plant automation. The 0360 Series operates within the IndraWorks engineering environment and is fully compatible with Rexroth's SERCOS and PROFIBUS communication stacks. Installed base across global heavy industry is substantial, with many facilities maintaining 0360-based control architectures well beyond the platform's standard product lifecycle, driving sustained demand for spare parts and replacement modules.

The Evolution of 0360 Series Architecture

The 0360 Series was introduced as part of Rexroth's IndraControl L family, designed to bridge the gap between compact PLCs and full-scale DCS platforms. Early revisions (0360-100-xx, 0360-200-xx) established the core backplane bus topology and supported basic digital/analog I/O with RS-232 and RS-485 serial interfaces. Mid-generation modules (0360-300-xx, 0360-400-xx) introduced PROFIBUS-DP master/slave capability and expanded analog resolution to 16-bit, addressing the precision requirements of process control loops in refinery and chemical applications. The 0360-500-xx generation — including the 0360-500-00 — represents the mature compact module variant, consolidating CPU, communication, and local I/O functions into a single housing for reduced footprint deployments. Later variants added SERCOS III support and Ethernet-based fieldbus options. As of 2024, the 0360 Series has entered end-of-life status under Rexroth's product lifecycle policy, with no new production runs planned. Replacement migration paths lead to the IndraControl XM and IndraControl L65/L75 platforms. However, the installed base remains active, and cross-compatibility between 0360 sub-generations requires careful firmware and backplane revision matching — a critical consideration for maintenance sourcing.
