4.9 Automation Runtime
4.9.1 General information
An integral component of Automation Studio is the Automation Runtime real-time operating system. This real-time
operating system is the software kernel that allows applications to run on a target system.
•
Guaranteed highest possible performance for the hardware being used
•
Runs on all B&R target systems
•
Makes the application hardware-independent
•
Easy portability of applications between B&R target systems
•
Deterministic behavior guaranteed by cyclic system
•
Configurable jitter tolerance in all task classes
•
Supports all relevant programming language such as IEC 61131-3 and C
•
Extensive function library conforming to IEC 61131-3 as well as the expanded B&R Automation library
•
Integrated into Automation NET. Access to all networks and bus systems via function calls or the Automation
Studio™ configuration
B&R Automation Runtime is fully embedded in the corresponding target system (the hardware where Automation
Runtime is installed). It allows application programs to access I/O systems (e.g. via the fieldbus) and other devices
(interfaces, networks, etc.).

Information:
In order to operate Automation Runtime Windows (ARwin), BIOS setting
Advanced - Miscellaneous
configuration - Realtime environment
must be set to
Enabled
.
Information:
In order to slightly improve the real-time behavior (jitter) of Automation Runtime Windows (ARwin) in
graphics-intensive applications, set BIOS setting
Advanced - Graphics (IGD) configuration - IGD turbo
to
Disabled
.
Important: If BIOS setting
Advanced - Graphics (IGD) configuration - IGD turbo
is set to
Disabled
, the
graphics performance of the system is noticeably reduced.
