• Functions and options offered by Automation RuntimeAutomation Runtime is the operating system that runs on all B&R controllers.
• Automation Runtime configuration options
• Runtime and boot behavior of the controller
• Using the integrated diagnostic options
• Overview of available programming languages

The IEC 61131-3 programming languages provide standardized access to PLC programming. Simple yet powerful language constructs facilitate the programming of a variety of control systems.

• Overview of programming languages based on IEC 61131-3IEC 61131-3 is the only valid international standard for programming languages used on PLCs. In addition to Sequential Function Chart, it defines other programming languages such as Ladder Diagram, Instruction List, Structured Text and Function Block Diagram.
• Differences between textual and graphical programming languages
• Working with Structured Text (ST)
• Basic constructs
• Decisions
• Loops
• Working with arrays
• Step switching mechanisms
• Calling function blocks
• Calling actions
• Creating simple programs independently
• Working with another programming language (optional)

The B&R drive solution provides flexible, high-performance tools for controlling drives. These solutions are configured, put into service and diagnosed using Automation Studio.
A variety of drive components and functions are available.

The use of PLCopen-compliant mapp Motion components allows them to be seamlessly integrated into the machine application.
