niagaraDriver-NiagaraStation
This component models a remote station in a Supervisor station.
While the connection may use Fox (not secure), a NiagaraStation with a padlock icon models a remote station via a secure TLS Foxs connection. This is the recommended connection.
Each NiagaraStation contains the standard set of device extensions. In addition it contains:
Users device extension. For more information, refer to the niagaraDriver-NiagaraUserDeviceExt topic.
Virtuals (gateway) slot, and an associated Virtuals Enabled property.
To view these properties, expand and double-click a station.
In addition to the standard properties (Status, Enabled, Fault Cause, Health and Alarm Source Info), these properties are unique to this component. A separate topic documents each extension.
