Station Copier

The Station Copier is one of several platform views. You use it to install a station in any Niagara 4 platform (remote or local), as well as make a copy in your User Home of any running station (remote or local). You can also use Station Copier to rename and delete stations, either locally or remotely.

NOTE: In Niagara 4.8 and later, there is added support for verifying third party module signatures. When installing a station that requires additional dependencies to be installed using the Station Copier, any module signature warnings for the dependencies will be displayed in a Signature Warning dialog, and any module signature errors will cause the station copy to fail. For more details, see Niagara Third Party Module Signing.

You see the Station Copier view even when opening a local platform connection at your Supervisor computer as well as when opening a remote Niagara host. The following figure shows the Station Copier in a platform connection to a controller.

As shown above, the Station Copier view is split into two main areas:

Stations on your Workbench PC, typically your User Home (left)
Station in the daemon User Home of the opened platform (right)

By default, contents of your User Home stations folder is shown on the left side. If you have station folders located elsewhere, click the folder icon for a Change Directory window, and point the Station Copier there. That changed location is used the next time you access the Station Copier.
