niagaraDriver-NiagaraSysDefDeviceExt

This component (Sys Def), which the station includes among its device extensions under any NiagaraStation, is chiefly of interest to developers. Together with the NiagaraNetwork’s Sys Def Provider (BogProvider) component, the API helps arrange stations in the NiagaraNetwork using a known hierarchy, which allows for the synchronization of basic information up the hierarchy.
