SCADAPack E RTU's can have their firmware updated in many ways. This can be done via ClearSCADA, another DNP3 master using the DNP3 file transfer protocol and there are even 2 ways to do it via the E Configurator. The method shown below will update firmware using the E Configurator via DNP3.

To ensure correct operation of all software, it is recommended that the firmware in the E RTU matches the version of E Configurator and SCADAPack Workbench.

The version of SCADAPack E Configurator will determine what version of firmware you have installed on your computer. Check the ABOUT box by clicking on the HELP drop down menu in the E Configurator application. If you are using SCADAPack Workbench, then the version of SCADApack workbench should match the version of the E-Series Configurator and the firmware on your SCADAPack.

Ensure you have a DNP3 connection to the SCADAPack. This can be Serial, Ethernet or a USB connection. Configure the Communication settings. This example uses USB (1) which is supported on 3xxE and 5xxE SCADAPacks.

Please note a RTU restart will be required.
