7.3 Automation Runtime
7.3.1 General information
The real-time operating system Automation Runtime is an integral part of Automation Studio. This real-time oper-
ating system forms the software core for running applications on a target system.
•
Guarantees the highest possible performance of 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
•
Guaranteed determinism through cyclic system
•
Configurable jitter tolerance in all task classes
•
Support for all relevant programming languages, such as IEC 61131-3 languages and C
•
Rich function library per IEC 61131-3 as well as the extended B&R automation library
•
Integrated in Automation NET. Access to all networks and bus systems via function calls or by configuration
in Automation Studio
B&R Automation Runtime is fully embedded in the corresponding target system (hardware on which Automation
Runtime is installed). It thus enables application programs to access I/O systems (also via the fieldbus) and other
devices such as interfaces and networks.
