18 SO F T WA R E Hardware-independent control Integrated performance meets freedom of choice Supply chain resilience has become increasingly important throughout the world of manufacturing. With the introduction of hardware- -independent control, B&R enables ma- chine builders to run its real-time OS, Automation Runtime, together with a general-purpose OS and hypervisor tech- nology on suitable third-party PCs. This combines the performance of integrated machine controls with freedom of choice in terms of hardware. With a standard Ethernet interface, the third-party hard- ware will be able to communicate via OPC UA / OPC UA FX, POWERLINK, Ethernet/ IP, Modbus, and more. As always – the performance of the communication plat- form and overall system depends on the performance of the underlying PC selected.
