Renaming a station

The Station Copier can change the name of any station, either in your User Home (left side) or in the opened platform’s daemon User Home (right side).

You are working in Workbench running on a PC and are connected to the remote station.

If the renamed running station is already included in the NiagaraNetwork, its corresponding NiagaraStation component remains down until renamed to match the new name. Thus, all child components (Niagara proxy points and so on) will also be down until this is done. In addition, other unforeseen consequences may result from changing the name of a station that has already been integrated into other stations. Therefore, station renames are best done on your User Home (left side) stations or when initially configuring a job site network, such as when first installing (copying) a station.

  1. In the PC, expand Platform and double-click Station Copier.
    The Station Copier view opens.

  2. Select the station name in either the left or right pane and click Rename.
    The New Station Name window opens.

    Be careful when renaming stations, as there is no undo.

  3. Enter a new name and click OK.
    A confirmation window informs that the station must be stopped.

    After the station stops, the Station Copier renames it and automatically restarts it. A series of other windows open, each showing a station startup message.
