7.3 Automation Runtime
7.3.1 General information
The Automation Runtime real-time operating system is an integral part of Automation Studio. This real-time oper-
ating system makes up the software kernel that allows applications to run on a target system.
• Guarantees the highest possible performance for the hardware 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 and additionally 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.
