Unit 4: Managing Assets

Operator	Operation Location
Developer	EnOS Application Portal > Developer Console, Admin Console

This unit introduces how developers can synchronize assets that have been onboarded to the Developer Console to the Admin Console.

Step 1: Adding Tags

The EnOS Application Portal Admin Console can synchronize assets from the Developer Console that have specific tags. The key-value of these tags determines the asset type in the Application Portal. The Application Portal predefines the following tags and asset types, and also supports adding custom tags and asset types via Open API.

Tag	Asset Type	Description
auth_unit : true	Physical Asset	Indicates that this asset is one or a group of physical devices, such as a photovoltaic inverter or a wind farm. In this tutorial, physical assets correspond to ‘device assets’ in the management console, which are individual devices within wind farms and solar power stations.
logic_unit : true	Business Asset	Indicates that this asset is a group of physical devices with special business significance, such as all the lights on a floor. In this tutorial, business assets correspond to ‘logical assets’ in the management console, which include groups, branches, and various sites.

In the EnOS Application Portal Developer Console, you can add tags to assets in the following ways:

• Add tags to a single asset

• Add tags to an asset tree node, where the corresponding asset will automatically receive this tag

• Add tags to a model, where the assets in the model will automatically receive this tag

Method 1: Adding Tags to a Single Asset

Adding Tags to Device Assets

1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, click the Console icon in the upper right corner, and select Developer Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Device > Device Management > Device Assets.

3. In the device list, select View for the PV-1 asset to open the asset details page.

4. Select Edit in the Tag Information section to open the edit device tag popup.

5. In the popup, select Add+, enter the tag key auth_unit in the left input box, and enter the tag value true in the right input box.

6. Select Confirm.

7. Repeat the above steps to add the auth_unit : true tag to the following device assets:

   • PV-2

   • WT-1

   • WT-2

   • WT-3

   • WT-4

   • WT-5

   • WT-6

After completing the above operations, you can view the tags of this device asset in the Tag Information section of the device details page.

Adding Tags to Logical Assets

1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, click the Console icon in the upper right corner, and select Developer Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Device > Device Management > Logical Assets.

3. In the device list, select View for the Group asset to open the asset details page.

4. Select Edit in the Tag Information section to open the edit device tag popup.

5. In the popup, select Add+, enter the tag key logic_unit in the left input box, and enter the tag value true in the right input box.

6. Select Confirm.

7. Repeat the above steps to add the logic_unit : true tag to the following logical assets:

   • East Branch

   • South Branch

   • Eastern Wind Farm 1

   • Eastern Solar Power Station 1

   • Southern Wind Farm 1

   • Southern Wind Farm 2

After completing the above operations, you can view the tags of this logical asset in the Tag Information section of the logical asset details page.

Method 2: Adding Tags to Asset Tree Nodes

1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, click the Console icon in the upper right corner, and select Developer Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Device > Device Management > Asset Tree.

3. At the top of the page, select the Group asset tree, and in the topology list on the left side of the asset tree tab, select the Group asset.

4. In the asset summary information on the right side of the page, select Edit in the Tag Information section to open the edit device tag popup.

5. In the popup, select Add+, enter the tag key logic_unit in the left input box, and enter the tag value true in the right input box.

6. Select Confirm.

7. Repeat the above steps to add the appropriate tags to the following asset tree nodes.

   
   

   Node	Type	Tag
   South Branch	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   East Branch	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   Southern Wind Farm 1	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   Southern Wind Farm 2	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   Eastern Wind Farm 1	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   Eastern Solar Power Station 1	Logical Asset	logic_unit : true
   PV-1	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   PV-2	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-1	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-2	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-3	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-4	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-5	Device Asset	auth_unit : true
   WT-6	Device Asset	auth_unit : true

   
   

After adding tags to the asset tree nodes, the associated assets will receive these tags. You can view the tags of this node in the Tag Information section.

Method 3: Adding Tags to Models

Note

Only private models can have tags added.

1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, click the Console icon in the upper right corner, and select Developer Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Device > Model Management > Models.

3. In the Private Models tab of the model list, select Edit for the General Region model to open the model details page.

4. Select Edit in the Tag Information section to open the edit device tag popup.

5. In the popup, select Add+, enter the tag key logic_unit in the left input box, and enter the tag value true in the right input box.

6. Select Confirm.

7. Repeat the above steps to add the appropriate tags to the following models.

   
   

   Model	Identifier	Tag
   Generic Wind Farm	wf_general_001	logic_unit : true
   Generic Solar Power Station	ss_general	logic_unit : true
   Generic Wind Turbine	wind_general_001	auth_unit : true
   Generic Solar Panel	solar_general_001	auth_unit : true

   
   

After adding tags to the model, all assets under this model will automatically acquire the model’s tag information. You can view the tags of this model in the Tag Information section of the model details page.

Step 2: Synchronizing Assets

1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, click the Console icon in the upper right corner, and select Admin Console.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Synchronize Assets. Assets with specific tags in the Developer Console can be synchronized to the Admin Console. OU administrators can then assign asset permissions to end users in the Admin Console.
