Data and bindings

Binding model

Create, validate and troubleshoot source-to-target project connections.

A binding stores source object, source port, target object and target port. Studio derives available ports from each object's current configuration.

Validation rules

  • source and target must exist in the same permitted project/Runtime scope;
  • the source port must be an output and the target port an input;
  • data types and units must be compatible;
  • a single-input target cannot have ambiguous multiple sources;
  • relational sources such as retained Data Storage series follow their dedicated object relationship rather than pretending to be live ports.

Troubleshooting

If a port is missing, first verify that the object configuration actually declares it. Renaming a display label does not necessarily rename a stable binding port. If a value appears only in Engineering Preview, confirm that the active Runtime bundle contains the same object and revision.
