# ModelZoo

The **realvirtual.io ModelZoo** is a curated collection of ready-to-use simulation models for training, testing, and demonstration. Each model is built to highlight specific capabilities of the realvirtual.io platform — from fully simulated demo scenes to advanced virtual commissioning setups with real PLC and robot controller integration.

All models are delivered as standalone `.exe` applications and can be used **without a license**.

Whether you're learning PLC programming, testing robot communication, or evaluating automation workflows, the ModelZoo provides a fast, hands-on way to explore realvirtual.io in action.

> ℹ️ **Note:** For models requiring PLC or robot controller integration, please refer to the individual documentation pages for setup instructions and prerequisites.\
> Pure simulation scenes that do not require special hardware or connections are **not documented** here.

## Basic Controls

The following controls apply to all **ModelZoo** scenes:

* **Rotate / Zoom / Pan** using the **middle and right mouse buttons**
* Press **ESC** to close the current scene and return to the **scene selection menu**
* Press **F** to **focus the camera** on the current scene if you're lost in 3D space

For more UI features and shortcuts, check out the [Runtime UI Documentation](/basics/runtime-ui.md).

## Virtual Commissioning Interface Setup

For all **virtual commissioning** models, the communication interface (such as IP address, port, or NetID) must be configured before connecting.

To do this:

* Click the **⚙️ Settings** icon in the **top menu bar**
* Enter the required connection parameters for your target system
* All models start in **"Non Connected"** mode by default
* After entering the parameters, click the **🔌 Connect switch** (represented by two plugs)

If the switch turns **green**, the connection is successfully established.

> Note: In some interfaces, the connection status may fluctuate briefly, and the simulation may experience short lags during connection or reconnection.\
> \
> After setting the interface properties once they are saved and on the next scene start they will be the same.

For detailed setup instructions, refer to the individual model documentation.

## Log Window

Most scenes in the **ModelZoo** include a built-in **Log Window** at the bottom of the screen.

<figure><img src="/files/Mew8gyWclnTWD3gOxf2y" alt=""><figcaption><p>Log Window</p></figcaption></figure>

You can open it by clicking the small **icons in the lower-left corner** of the screen.

The log window allows you to:

* View messages about the **current version** and **scene status**
* Monitor **connection feedback** and warnings
* Enter **special commands** to control simulation behavior

Type `help` in the input field to see a full list of available commands.

One especially useful command is:

* `HideInfo` – Hides the info box that appears at the start of the scene

This tool is particularly valuable for setup verification, debugging, and customizing your simulation experience.
