title	Create the models / Digital twins

In this part you’re going to create two sensor modelmodels:

Sensor, a complex model with 4 attributes:
- id : unique intinteger
- name : string
- hydrometry hygrometry : intinteger
- temperature temperature : intinteger
sensorListSensorList, a model with 1 attribute:
- sensors : []

Sensor and sensorList model

- array of sensors

Create your spinal system and digital twin by following these steps:

Create a new spinal-system with from the browser-admin template like it’s (explained in the in the section "Creating a new Spinal System" in the Getting Started tutorial).
Create a folder called spinal-model models to store the differents different models you are going to create. Within this folder create a file modelsnamed model.js.
Complete the file model.js:

Create the sensor model.
Extend the sensor model with the Model of spinal-coreclass from spinalCore.
Export the sensor model.
Create the sensor list.
Extend the sensor list with the Model of spinal-corespinalCore.
Export the sensor list.

Your model file should look like this:

spinal-modelmodels/modelmodels.js

Code Block

language	js
theme	DJango
title	models.js
linenumbers	true

const spinalCore = require("spinal-core-connectorjs");

// Sensor model
function Sensor// SensorModel inherits from Model
class SensorModel extends Model {
  constructor() {
    Sensor.super(this);
    // add attributes to the model
    this.add_attr({
        id: 0,
        name: "",
        hydrometryhygrometry: 0,
 
      temperature: 0,
    });
} // Sensor}
inherit of model
spinalCore.extend(Sensor, Model);
}
module.exports.SensorSensorModel = SensorSensorModel;


// SensorList model
function SensorList SensorListModel inherits from Model
class SensorListModel extends Model {
  constructor() {
    SensorList.super(this);
    // Array of equipments
    this.add_attr({
        sensors: []
    });
}
// SensorList inherit of model
spinalCore.extend(SensorList, Model);
}

module.exports.SensorListSensorListModel = SensorListSensorListModel;

title	Create Instantiate a list of 2 SensorSensors

In this part your are going to create instantiate a list of 2 sensors.

Every sensor will have its own organ.

Each one of those will have an automate which will change its hydrometry and temperature.

create a list of two sensor:virtual sensors in the database and create two "organs" of the system that will simulate the sensor behavior.

Each organ will simulate changes of hygrometry and temperature.

Create a new folder spinal-organ-sensor1 and within it a file named index.js.
in the index.js file:
1. Require spinal-core.
2. Get the connection
string
1. parameter from the config.js
.
1. file in the main folder
2. Create a function addItem. This function create, set and add an item to the list given in argument.
3. Create a function simulate. This function simulate the value of the sensor.
4. Create a function onSuccess.
this
1. This function will be executed if the loading of ‘List’ is successful.
For this part you to add an element to the list if the list is empty and simulate the data of this element this element.
2. Create a function onFaill.
this
1. This function will be executed if the loading of ‘List’ fail.
For this part if the loading fail you want to create a new list and store it into
2. Load list from spinal-core.
Load list from spinal-core.
Create a new folder spinal-organ-sensor2
Copy paste this folder the index.js into sensor2 folder and do the appropriate modification in index.js .modifications.
Don't forget to install spinal-core-connectorjs from GitHub in the two folders

If you have and API to retrieve the real data of your sensor use it to send real data to the graph.
You can run every sensor independently by running the corresponding index.js (node index.js)

};

spinalCore.load(conn, "List", onSuccess, onFailonFailure);

Run sensor1 Run spinal-organ-sensor1/index.js and go to the admin UI and put 'List' into the inspector and you should see the hydrometry hygrometry and temperature of sensor0 change every second.

title	Launch efficiently your organs

You might have noticed that you are running every organ independently is painful.If you wonder why it’s so painful it’s because you are not supposed to do that :p.

In this part you will learn a to run you organs efficientlya system where all the organs run on the same server, you can simplify this process and monitor your organs using pm2.

Take a look at .app.json.
add dependency to your organs.
1. name: The name they will be identified by pm2
2. script: The name of the script to be executed to launch the organ
3. cwd: The location of the script (relative to the root of the project)
run the commande pm2 start restart launch.config.json..

apps.json contains the organs that should be launched. They are identified by:

name: The name they will be identified by pm2

script: The name of the script to be executed to launch the organ

cwd: The location of the script (relative to the root of the project)

Your .app.json should look like this:

Code Block

language	js
theme	DJango
linenumbers	true

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "name": "spinal-core-hub",
      "script": "spinalhub.js",
      "cwd": "./nerve-center/"
    },
    {
      "name": "sensor1",
      "script": "index.js",
      "cwd": "./spinal-organ-sensor1/"
    },
    {
      "name": "sensor2",
      "script": "index.js",
      "cwd": "./spinal-organ-sensor2/"
    }
  ]
}

pm2 will now show you sensor 1 and 2 along with spinal-core-hub.
