Hi,

I have a faulted OPC connection shown in the main status of the gateway of a small Ignition 8.1 gateway.

This OPC connection is not in use, but I am unable to delete from the OPC Connections in the configuration, as it does not appear (the faulted connection).

Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks  
Steve

Sounds like you deleted the module that provided the driver for it before you deleted the connection.

Figure out what module it was, reinstall it (trial mode is fine), delete the connection, then remove the module again.

We can't see what the connection looks like, so you'll need to share more, or experiment more. (Or contact support. This forum is not support.)
