Multicore in AS6: Technical Deep Dive

Hello BRCommunity :sun:,

A lot of powerful technical features have been introduced in Automation Studio 6 and the corresponding versions of Automation Runtime. While migrating from AS4 to AS6 can be challenging in some specific cases, it’s still important to highlight the valuable innovations that come with it.

With support from our R&D colleagues, I’ve prepared a technical overview of multicore support—a feature that’s being rolled out step by step with each new AR release. This article walks you through the evolution, architecture, and practical use cases of multicore processing in AS6.

Multicore Processing in Automation Software 6: Technical Overview

Enjoy the read and I hope you’ll soon experience the performance boost our hardware can deliver when multicore is fully enabled!

PS: I asked AI to visualize the key benefit of multicore support using a B&R APC and Codian robots. Of course, the real design of our hardware looks much nicer—but it’s still pretty cool that even AI gets the idea behind multicore functionality, isn’t it?
