It would help if you gave a few more details about the exact model of motor.
The latest release of the motor support (R6-1, from
http://www.aps.anl.gov/upd/people/sluiter/epics/motor/R6-1/motorR6-1.tar.gz)
includes a driver for Newport motor controllers, using Asyn as the
low-level protocol to talk to the motor controller. There is also a
driver for Delta-Tau motor controllers (tpmac at
http://epics.svn.sourceforge.net/epics/applications/tags/tpmac/3-3/)
which also uses this release of motor support, and serial Asyn as the
lowest layer transport to the motor controller.
To support your motor, you could have a look at one of these, and adapt
it to talk the protocol required by your serial-port motor. The
ethernet/serial converter box should be transparently supported by Asyn,
if you're lucky.

*Subject:* EPICS Driver for motor through Ethernet/Serial?
hi,
I want to find a EPCIS 314 driver for a motor which has a serial
port, connected to an Ethernet/Serial converter boxes, IOC is redhat
linux. all the control string is ASCII code. Is there somebody using
Asyn driver to implement this? Can you send me an application?
Thanks a lot for your help.
