Associated with: DNP3 master outstations
Security permission required to access this pick action: Retrieve Data
Use the Read Device Attributes pick action to request ClearSCADA to read an outstation’s Device attributes and store the results in the ClearSCADA database.
In addition to this pick action, the Read Device Attributes on Startup field on the DNP3 Outstation Form can be used to specify whether ClearSCADA is to read an outstation’s Device attributes automatically, whenever communications are established with that outstation (see Configure the Actions that Occur on Communications Startup).
You can view the uploaded attributes using the Outstation’s Status display window (see DNP3 Outstation Status Attributes). The attributes are also available as OPC properties (see the Database Schema and the ClearSCADA Guide to the Database).
