Introduction: Automation Studio and Automation Runtime [SOC210.1]

First you will get an overview of the X20 system from B&R. You will learn how to select suitable hardware and how to wire it correctly. You will then be guided through the installation of Automation Studio, create your first project and learn how to establish a connection to the controller. In the next course, you will implement what you have already learned in the example of programming a fill level control system. You will also get an insight into the operating system that runs on all B&R products: Automation Runtime.
