Project component catalog
A source-of-truth overview of objects available in a Nodectra project.
Nodectra models an automation system as typed objects in a project tree. Containers establish ownership and navigation; executable and operational objects carry configuration and ports.
| Object | Purpose |
|---|
| Project | Top-level engineering scope |
| Settings | Project or server configuration owned by its parent |
| Nodectra Site Server | Windows or Linux Site Runtime target |
| Edge Controller | Main autonomous site controller target |
| Field Controller | Compact room, zone or plant controller target |
| Folder | User-defined structural grouping |
| Runtime Link Publisher | Publishes one typed local signal to another Runtime |
| Runtime Link Subscriber | Receives one typed signal from another Runtime |
| Object | Purpose |
|---|
| Connection | Protocol channel such as Modbus TCP or RTU |
| Device | Physical controller, meter, gateway or field device |
| Point | Typed physical register, coil or protocol property |
| Object | Purpose |
|---|
| Sensor Simulator | Development-only engineering signal generator |
| Data Table | Typed working variables and current values |
| Data Storage | Timestamped historian samples and retention |
| Block Program | Connected graphical function blocks |
| Script Program | Restricted Python logic with typed ports and state |
| Schedule | Time programs, calendars and exceptions |
| Object | Purpose |
|---|
| Alarm Rule | Threshold, delay, hysteresis, severity and acknowledgement |
| Chart | Interactive live or retained historical series |
| Graphic | Bindable 2D operator screen |
| 3D Scene | Multi-level building and equipment view |
| Client View | Personalized set of operator-facing resources |
| Object | Purpose |
|---|
| Agent | Engineering assistant scoped to a project or server subtree |
| Agent Conversation | Persistent conversation inheriting its Agent scope |
System containers and compatibility objects can appear in the tree but are not all manually creatable. Studio filters the New Object dialog according to the selected parent.
