Motor Module: Known problems with Release 6-7

1. Aerotech Ensemble

   • Due to network broadcasting upgrades to Aerotech Ensemble Motion Composer, starting with motor module R6-7-1, the EPICS Ensemble driver only supports 4.01.002 Ensemble version firmware 4.01.002 and above.
   • The home search from EPICS command was been restored with R6-7-1. In order for an EPICS home search command to work, the Aerotech Ensemble example program, HomeAsync.abx, must be compiled and stored in the Ensemble. In addition, the Parameters>System>TaskExecutionSetup parameter must be set to enable Auxiliary Task execution.

2. Schneider Electric (formally IMS) MDrive

   Joe Sullivan fixed several bugs in the Schneider Electric MDrive driver associated with input buffer overflows that arose with newer MDrive firmware (e.g., 3.003). These bug fixes were 1st released with motor module R6-7-1.
