Project tree

The project tree is the source of scope and ownership. An object belongs to the Runtime target that contains it.

Fixed and creatable objects

Containers such as project Settings, Runtime instances, Connections and Visualizations are created by the system. Engineers add objects such as Connection, Device, Point, Data Table, Block Program, Graphic and Alarm Rule inside valid parents.

Runtime ownership

Runtime ownership affects:

• which objects enter a deployment bundle;
• where bindings may resolve;
• which credentials and network settings are used;
• which live values are available to a visualization;
• which project scope an agent or MCP token can inspect.

Moving or duplicating an object is validated against the destination parent. Fixed system objects and server targets cannot be duplicated as ordinary folders.
