The best informations source on the internet for Niagra related questions, will always be Tridiums official Niagara Community - Remember to use the search button before asking any questions, and that although an answer might be 5 years old, many basic functions remains the same today.

So, what is this Niagara, I keep talking about you might ask?

Basically it's a computer system (Framework), that can be run in a windows PC (Supervisor/server) or a unix based controller, and is programmed primarily from a Windows PC (Workbench). Niagara is maintained and developed by Tridum, owned by Honeywell International. Centraline and Trend Control Systems are both using the Niagara framework.

Niagara has in my opinion 2 primary functions:

• First, controlling output and input points (IO), which in turn can control all kind of actuators, motors or sensors.
• Second, integration of pretty much any network or system you can imagine.
