Jci N2 Import Manager

Once a JciN2Device has been created (see Configuring a JciN2Network Integration for N2 Devices), you use the FX Workbench Jci N2 Import Manager to complete the integration. The Jci N2 Import Manager provides allows you to complete N2 device integration tasks that, if performed manually, would be very time-consuming.

The Jci N2 Import Manager uses the N2 device’s resource file and an associated System Library to perform the following tasks:
  • Identify which points should be added to the station as proxy points.

  • Identify which Px file and Hx template file should be associated to the device.

  • Create a Px or Hx view for the device.

  • Bind points to the symbols in the Px or Hx views.

  • Identify which extensions (history, alarm, or totalization) should be added to each point (if a system library is used when importing the resource file).

The process by which the Jci N2 Import Manager performs these tasks depends on the type of N2 device and its available resource file. See Table [x] to understand which resource files are available per N2 device type.
