Remove a File from a SCADAPack E Outstation’s Configuration

Use the Remove button on the Configuration Setup Window to remove a file from the SCADAPack E outstation.

To remove a file:

1. Select the file’s entry in the Configuration Setup window.
2. Select the Remove button.
   A confirmation dialog box is displayed.

   

3. Select Yes to remove the file from the list in the Configuration Setup Window.

   (Select No to keep the selected file.)

4. Select the OK button on the Configuration Setup window.
   If ‘Yes’ was chosen in step 3, the specified file is removed from the DNP3 SCADAPack E outstation in Geo SCADA Expert database.

Removing a file from the DNP3 SCADAPack E outstation in the Geo SCADA Expert database does not remove the file from the SCADAPack E outstation’s file system.

To remove a file from the outstation’s file system:

• If the removed file is an RTU Configuration file (.RTU), the file will be effectively removed next time you perform a configuration download.
• For most other types of file, you need to issue a ‘delete’ command using the outstation’s Execute Command pick action (see Execute Command in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to the DNP3 Driver.)
• To delete a removed IEC 61131-3 file (.X8M), issue a ‘clear ISaGRAF’ command rather than a ‘delete’ command. (If the IEC 61131-3 application file is deleted using the ‘delete’ command, the outstation will re-create the file when IEC 61131-3 restarts—for example when the outstation is cold reset.)
