Structure introduces many notions with unfamiliar terms (genealogy, graph theory, etc.). This page summarizes the different concepts that are discussed in the documentation and provides links to the respective documentation.

 

Expand
titleAntiInfoSource

Indicates that no InfoSource should be added to a component containing an AntilnfoSource

Expand
titleAscendant

Ascendant of a node with a direct or indirect isln relation

Expand
titleAspect

Point of view used to describe a source. See the Aspect documentation

Expand
titleBreadCrumb

Horizontal menu to describe a path in a tree

Expand
titleDefinitionSet

Characterize an aspect in which a node represents all the entities in an abstract manner (e.g. ACU. The node does not represent a particular ACU)

Expand
titleDescendant

Child of a node with a direct or indirect isln relation

Expand
titleDeviceDefinition

SystemDefinition dedicated to the Niagara Device

Expand
titleEntitySet

Characterize an aspect in which a node represents a single entity, often real (e.g.: Building A. There will be as many nodes named Building A as there are buildings A in a site).

Expand
titleInfoSource

A Niagara component becomes a source as soon as an InfoSource is added to it

Expand
titleisIn

The isln relation

Expand
titleisInMultiple

The isInMultiple relation between two NodeDefinitions allows a node to be added to two parent nodes. (Typical example, duplex apartment belonging to two floors)

Expand
titleNetworkDefinition

SystemDefinition dedicated to the Niagara network.

Expand
titleNode

The Node represents a physical entity (Floor 1) or abstract (Temperature, Accounting Service).

Expand
titleOrphan Nodes

An Orphan Node is a node with a level greater than 1 that does not have ascendants on the isln relation.

Expand
titleNodeDefinition

The NodeDefinition makes it possible to group or generalize Nodes of the same "type" by creating a common definition

Expand
titleNodeGroup

The NodeGroup represents a group of nodes of the same aspect and allows sources to directly affect multiple nodes

Expand
titleNodeGroupDefinition

The NodeGroupDefinition makes it possible to group or generalize Nodes of the same "type" by creating a common definition

Expand
titleNodeRelation

The NodeRelation allows a relation between a node and another component of the station to be defined. This relation is defined when the node is created through the NodeCreator.

Expand
titleNodeTag

The NodeTag is used to define the addition of a tag to a node when it is created. This tag is presented to the user when the node is created through the NodeCreator.

Expand
titlePointDefinition

SystemDefinition dedicated to the Niagara ControlPoint.

Expand
titlePointFolderDefinition

SystemDefinition dedicated to the Niagara PointFolder.

Expand
titleSiblings

Siblings are defined as two nodes with the same parent node (a kind of brother & sister). Two sibling nodes cannot have the same displayName in Niagara.

Expand
titleSource

A source is an existing element of a station: a point, a point file, a device, a time schedule, etc.

Expand
titleSourceRelation

SourceRelation defines a possible relation between a source and another of the station's components. This relation is defined when the source is assigned to a node through the AssignmentView.

Expand
titleSourceTag

The SourceTag is used to define the addition of a tag to a source when assigning a source to a node through the AssignmentView

Expand
titleStationDefinition

SystemDefinition dedicated to the NiagaraStation (Niagara station of the Niagara Network).

Expand
titleSystemAspect

The System aspect is an aspect dedicated to SystemDefinition and makes it possible to describe the system architecture of a source.

Expand
titleSystemDefinition

The SystemDefinition is a generalization of a Niagara type. It does not contain nodes, the sources play the dual role of source / node in this case.

Expand
titleTopNode

A TopNode is a node that does not have a parent. It is level 1.
