niagaraDriver-NiagaraEdgeStation

The NiagaraEdgeStation device type is used in a NiagaraNetwork for connections to remote Niagara Edge devices. This component is found in the niagaraDriver palette.

The NiagaraEdgeStation functions in much the same way as the existing NiagaraStation type (supporting the same points, history imports/exports, schedule imports/exports, etc.), the difference is that it is subject to different license limits in a Supervisor, and it will fail to connect to the remote device if it detects that the remote device is not a Niagara Edge device. Therefore, it cannot be used to connect to a remote JACE (those connections should continue to use the existing NiagaraStation type). This feature is subject to license attributes on both the Supervisor and the Niagara Edge station.

For more details on Edge devices, refer to the Niagara Edge 10 Install and Startup Guide.
