Models

The Models page allows system operators to manage device models used in the system. Models define the structure, variables, and behavior of devices such as wind turbines and inverters.

This page is intended for system operators.

What is a model

A model is a template that defines:

• The type of device (e.g., turbine, inverter)
• The vendor (manufacturer)
• The variables and parameters the device exposes
• The revision (version) of the model

Each device in the system is associated with a model. When you configure a plant, devices are linked to their corresponding models.

Page overview

When you open the Models page, you see:

1. Vendor cards: A grid of cards, one for each vendor whose models are imported
2. Connect to Repository button: Links to VireoXrepository for importing new models

Connecting to VireoXrepository

To import or update models, you must first connect to VireoXrepository.

1. Click Connect to Repository
2. The system initiates an authentication process
3. Once authorized, the button becomes disabled and you can access repository models

Model cards

Each model is displayed as a card showing:

• Vendor logo
• Model name (e.g., "Vestas V110")
• Latest revision number (e.g., v3)
• In use badge: Indicates the model is currently used in configured devices
• Device icon: Visual representation based on model type (turbine, inverter, etc.)

Update indicator

When a new revision is available in the repository:

• An orange indicator appears on the card
• Hovering reveals "New revision available"
• You can flip the card to see update details

Updating a model

When a new revision is available:

1. Hover over the model card
2. Click on "New revision available" or the update icon
3. The card flips to show:
   • Current revision → New revision
   • Revision description
4. Click Confirm to import the new revision
5. Click Cancel to keep the current version

Model details panel

Click on a model card to open the details panel (slide-over).

The panel shows:

• Complete revision history
• Details for each revision
• When each revision was imported

Model types

The system supports different model types:

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see any models?

Models must be imported from VireoXrepository. Connect to the repository and import the models you need.

What happens when I update a model?

The new revision becomes available for devices using that model. Existing configurations are preserved, but new variables or parameters from the updated model become accessible.

Can I use multiple revisions of the same model?

Yes. Different devices can use different revisions of the same model. The revision is specified at the device level.

Why is the "Connect to Repository" button disabled?

You are already connected to VireoXrepository. The connection persists during your session.

How do I know if a model needs updating?

Models with available updates show an orange indicator. After connecting to the repository, the system automatically checks for new revisions.
