Driver networks
In any station, all driver networks are located under the Drivers container component in the station’s database.

By default, stations include a NiagaraNetwork that can model the data from other subordinate stations. The Drivers container supports device networks, including Modbus, BACnet, Lonworks, and many others.
In addition to device networks, the navigation (Nav) hierarchy represented by supports features that are unrelated to devices. For example, the FileNetwork component found in the driver module treats history files as if they were devices for the purpose of importing and exporting them.
This chapter contains general information about the components and procedures that are common to all drivers.
