This ObjectType is a subtype of the TemporaryFileTransferType defined in OPC 10000-5 and is used to transfer configuration data as a file.

The ConfigurationTransferType overwrites the Methods GenerateFileForRead and GenerateFileForWrite to specify the concrete type of the generateOptions Parameter of the Methods.

Figure 11 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 25.

This method is used to start the read file transaction. A successful call of this method creates a temporary FileType Object with the file content and returns the NodeId of this Object and the file handle to access the Object.

Signature

Argument

Description

generateOptions

The structure used to define the generate options for the file.

fileNodeId

NodeId of the temporary file

fileHandle

The FileHandle of the opened TransferFile.

The FileHandle can be used to access the TransferFile methods Read and Close.

completionStateMachine

If the creation of the file is completed asynchronously, the parameter returns the NodeId of the corresponding FileTransferStateMachineType Object.

If the creation of the file is already completed, the parameter is null.

If a FileTransferStateMachineType object NodeId is returned, the Read Method of the file fails until the TransferState changed to ReadTransfer.
