Templates And Models

The Catalog group in the sidebar has two pages: Templates (whole plants) and Models (single machines).

TemplatesCopy Anchor Link

• Launch adds the template to the running factory after a confirmation. A template loads once, so a loaded card shows a Loaded badge and Open (the Factory page) instead. Unload it there to launch it again.

• Inspect opens a side sheet with three tabs:

  • Overview: areas, lines, assets, and tag totals.
  • UNS: the namespace the template generates.
  • Export: download the YAML or a Litmus Edge template file. Applying to a Litmus Edge target happens on the Factory page.

  From a running template's card on Factory, Inspect opens the same sheet with a Live tab first.

ModelsCopy Anchor Link

• Spawn adds one or more standalone assets of that model. Type one ID or prefix: a full ID such as pump-001 creates that asset, a prefix such as pump generates pump-001, pump-002, and so on. A live preview lists the IDs you will probably get; it is best-effort, not a reservation, so the IDs can differ if the factory changes before you confirm. The confirmation lists the IDs actually created. You can also choose which protocols publish the assets; if one is currently off, the dialog warns that spawning turns it on and opens its port.
• Inspect shows its tags, faults, lifecycle, and methods, and its Export tab downloads the YAML or a Litmus Edge Digital Twins model.

To add a single machine, spawn a model. To add a whole plant with its hierarchy, launch a template.
