Introduction

The WriteFile Tag Command requests that a file is written to the outstation.

Parameters

SourceFile : ARRAY[0..n] OF BYTE

The data to write to the file.

TargetFile : ANY_STRING

Remarks

The WriteFile Tag Command completes immediately and does not wait for the file to be written. Use any of these tools in the Configuration Tool to monitor the progress of a file write:

• The Tag Status Monitor for the DNP3 Outstation Tag lists any remaining file transfers.
• The Event Log records the progress of file transfers. To view the Event Log:
  1. In the Tag Window right-click the DNP3 Outstation Tag.
  2. Select Show Events, followed by Tag Commands.

If the outstation is associated with a Listening Endpoint channel, the file is transferred when the outstation connects.

You can execute WriteFile Tag Command from:
