 ==== Framework breakdown ====
+Framework runs as a 2 part deal, a platform and a station.
+=== Platform ===
+The platform is running either on a unix based controller or windows based PC, and can best be compared to "a firmware".
+It contains settings for TCP/IP and licensing.
+It also contains systems to copy stations and control start/stop of these.
+== Platform tree structure example ==
+See below image of a standard platform setup
+{{ :c_niagara:pasted:20220225-214956.png |}}
+=== Station ===
+It's where all the magic happens!
+It it build up like a tree structure.
+First comes
+  * Alarms
+  * Config
+  * Files
+  * Hierarchy
+  * History
+== Alarms ==
+Shortcut to alarm section, with views and database maintenance.
+== Config ==
+Where all primary programming is located, it also contains Services, Drivers and Apps.
+  Services
+  Contains alarm handling, user services, web and the internally used fox servers
+  and other primary backend systems.
+  If you want a primary function to work, this is where to locate and install it.
+  Drivers
+  Contains programming part of the station, including Bacnet and Modbus drivers,
+  but this is also where you create your programming,
+  in separate folders or directly inside the drivers network.
+  A folder contains multiple view options like property sheet or wire sheet.
+  They also supports a custom view (Px view), meaning to show website animations.
+  Apps
+  I actually don't know what this is for?
+== Files ==
+Is the local file storage, it contains images, px files (website animations) or other files used.
+== Hierarchy ==
+One of the newer functions, used to dynamically build a tree structure for your site, and to allow easier navigation.
+In my opinion it's not "completely there yet" and I look forward to new updates and features for this part.
+The hierarchy is build using tags on folders and points, they can be direct or implied.
+What is needed to make it really nice is implied relations and better interaction with objects.
+== History ==
+Contains all your history files and the ability to run database maintenance.
+== Station tree structure example ==
