You can import files from one NiagaraAX station to another. The FileImportTag imports either a single file or an entire folder of files from the subordinate (JACE) station to the Supervisor station. A corresponding Niagara FileImport descriptor is created in the Supervisor, under the Files device extension of the NiagaraStation that represents this subordinate (JACE) station. For related details, see “About Niagara file imports” in the Drivers Guide.

See To add FileImportTags for a “quick start” procedure on working with these tags. The remainder of this section provides more details about this export tag type.

Note that file imports are also included in an “as-needed” manner when using PxViewTags, without a need for separate FileImportTags. For related details, see PxViewTags.
