7 Automation Runtime
7.1 General information
An integral component of Automation Studio is the real-time operating system, which makes up 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 runtime system
• Multitasking according to deterministic runtime rules
• Configuration of priorities, time classes and jitter tolerance
• Up to eight different time classes with any number of subroutines
• Guaranteed response to time and jitter tolerance violations
• Exception handling
• Configurable jitter tolerance in all task classes
• Support for all relevant programming languages, including IEC 61131-3 and ANSI C
• Extensive function library conforming to IEC 61131-3 as well as the expanded Automation library
• 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 fieldbus) and other devices
(interfaces, networks, etc.).

display units.
Information:
In order to use Automation Runtime Windows (ARwin), the BIOS setting Advanced - OEM features -
Realtime environment must be set to Enabled.
Information:
Beginning with ARwin 4.06, ADI access is no longer possible from Windows and ARwin at the same
time since the ADI interface is blocked by ARwin.
7.4 Automation Runtime Embedded (ARemb)
System support is provided by ARemb with an AS 4.0.17.85 / AR H4.06 upgrade. An Automation Runtime don-
gle is not necessary; all that is needed is an AR license. ARemb support is currently only available for PPC900
single-touch display units.
Visual Components Runtime is supported beginning with V4.05.5.
