Hi Maren,
I know that others have used the EPICS Modbus module to talk to similar ADAM modules (e.g. 6060). It should be straightforward to use the 6050, since it is just the Modbus register locations that differ from model to model.
Asyn and Modbus won't work on 3.13.8. But since this is an Ethernet device, you could run your IOC on a Linux (or Windows) machine. You would just need to build:
EPICS base
Asyn
Modbus
Cheers,
Mark
