Plugin

System Platform → Advanced → Plugin manages system-level (PUBLIC) plugins. These are helper code snippets that can be referenced from thing-model editors, RPC-model editors, the EB compiler, and so on.

What Is a Plugin

A plugin is a namespaced helper-code package, named like mtfac/easyEBModbus, mtfac/easyModel, or mtfac/easyEBPara. Plugins shown on the System Platform always have tenant_code = PUBLIC, so every tenant can use them.

Column Reference

Field	Meaning
ID	Plugin record ID
Name	Full name including org prefix, e.g. mtfac/easyEBModbus
Version	Plugin version number
Tag	Custom tag, useful for search
Org	Namespace, e.g. ManThink Tech (mtfac)
Apply To	Where the plugin can be referenced: EB Compiler / Thing Model / RPC Model / Any

Actions

Button	Effect
+ Add	Open the Plugin Configuration dialog to create a new plugin
Import	Bulk-import plugins from an Excel file
Export	Export the current list to Excel
Details (row)	View / edit a plugin's full content
Copy (row)	Create a new plugin using an existing one as the template
Batch Delete	Select rows, then delete from the toolbar

Plugin Configuration Dialog

When adding or editing a plugin, the dialog has two tabs:

UI Config tab

Field	Description
Name	Plugin name including org prefix, e.g. mtfac/easyEBModbus
Plugin Version	Semantic version string, e.g. 0.00.001
Apply To	Scope: ANY / EB Compiler / Thing Model / RPC Model
Tags	Free-text tags for search
Default Env Variable	JSON object ({}) — default environment variables injected when the plugin is imported
UI Config	JSON defining a form schema ({"formConfig":[]}) — renders a configuration UI when the plugin is used in an editor. The Preview panel on the right shows the rendered form in real time

JSON Config tab

Raw JSON view of the full plugin definition. Useful for copy-paste import or direct editing of complex plugin structures.

Typical Workflows

• Publish reusable Modbus-parsing snippets, unit-conversion helpers, etc. as system-level plugins so every tenant can import them in their own thing models / RPC models.
• Plugins pulled in via Remote Data Pull land in this list automatically.
