Station Copier Options

This feature allows you to easily ignore critical data when copying stations to and from a platform. These properties allow you to configure station transfer options from the Workbench view. The properties include options to specify which directories and files to ignore when copying a station (by use of space delimited pattern filters). You can also use the property options to set default values for copying station alarm, history, job and critical data directories (hidden).

  • File Pattern Exclude List

    Use this option to set a pattern filter that excludes any specified file types from being copied with the station.

  • Directory Pattern Exclude List

    Use this option to set a pattern filter that excludes any specified directories from being copied with the station. For example, if you wanted to exclude copying all directories in the station that begin with the letters “lighting”, then you could type “lighting*” in this field.

  • Copy options: (Remote Station Alarm Data, Remote Station History Data)

    These properties allow you to copy (true) or not copy (false) certain station data (from the Remote Station to the Workbench).

     NOTE: Copying histories and alarm data using the Station Copier is supported only when copying from the remote station to Workbench, not the reverse. For more details, see “Station copy direction” in the Niagara Platform Guide.
