Runtime Control Overview

Manage the runtimes that execute a project: add a runtime, deploy a build, start and stop it, and delete it when finished.

  • Prerequisites: A built project (see PLC lifecycle).
  • Required role/permission: Editor/Admin with rights to manage runtimes. Viewers can see runtime state but cannot start/stop/deploy/delete.
  • Settings that affect behavior:
    • Runtime target/platform — cloud vs gateway/edge decides where the project runs (see Gateway lifecycle).
    • Deployed build — a runtime executes the build that was deployed to it; deploy a new build to update it.
    • Licensing — starting a runtime can consume a license; an expired or missing license can prevent start or stop the runtime (see Licensing).
    • Retained values — restarting/redeploying interacts with retained variables; see Reset retained values.
  1. Open the project’s Runtimes at /portal/workspace/runtimes/:id.
  2. Add a runtime and choose its target (cloud or gateway/edge device).
  3. Deploy the latest build to the runtime.
  4. Start the runtime; watch its status/health (see Health monitoring).
  5. Stop it when needed (see Stop a runtime).
  6. Delete a runtime you no longer need.
  1. Open the project’s Runtimes view to add, deploy, start and stop runtimes
