As a result of adding a SubordinateExportTagNetworkExt in the NiagaraNetwork of a JACE station, a Join Profile component is created under each NiagaraStation component, including the one that represents the Supervisor. That Join Profile contains all information needed when a “Join” command is issued, including (when enabled) the “station (bog) file” created on the JACE.

This profile.bog file allows you to model how the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork will model the subordinate JACE, following a join—and all subsequent rejoins. The JoinProfile also contains a StationInformation (Station Info) container, to optionally classify the station using string values.
