Orbis opens your project file on your PC. What the agent reads from it goes to the agent's provider under your account; see the [privacy page](https://orbiscontrols.com/privacy).

## Open a file

Open a Logix project of type `.L5X` or `.ACD`. Orbis loads it and shows the project tree.

## What you see

- **Project tree.** Controller, programs, routines, Add-On Instructions, data types and I/O configuration, with a mark on anything that has changed.
- **Tags.** Controller tags and program tags in tables.
- **Routines.** Ladder is drawn graphically with the same glyphs as Studio 5000: contacts, coils, instruction boxes and branches. Structured text, function block and sequential function chart routines open too.
