Ide Runtime Overview

Goal

Work with a project’s runtimes from the context of the IDE workflow — add, start, stop, deploy to, and delete the runtime that runs the project you are editing.

Note

You need a built project and a runtime target (cloud vPLC or edge/gateway device) to fully exercise this. The runtimes screen and these steps are available without a live runtime.

Before you start

• Prerequisites: A project that builds successfully (see PLC lifecycle).
• Required role/permission: Editor/Admin with runtime-management rights; Viewers are read-only.
• Settings that affect behavior:
  • Active build — deploy the build you intend to run; the runtime executes the deployed build, not unsaved IDE edits.
  • Runtime target — cloud vs gateway/edge (see Gateway lifecycle).
  • Licensing — required to start a runtime (see Licensing).

Steps

1. From the IDE (/portal/workspace/ide/:id), build the project.
2. Open the project’s Runtimes at /portal/workspace/runtimes/:id.
3. Add a runtime (if none exists) and select its target.
4. Deploy the latest build, then start the runtime.
5. Iterate: edit in the IDE → rebuild → redeploy → restart.
6. Stop or delete the runtime when done.

1. Open Runtimes from the IDE to manage the project’s runtimes
