Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

I am trying to control a device which can get the temperature values ,Because the register address of the values not continuous, so I did not use the Modbus module under EPICS, but used modbus_tk under python to get the value. In order to match with EPICS, I used the support module PyDevice which is an EPICS device support for Python interpreter, When I run the st.cmd file, the following error occurs, So now there are three files, the db file, the st.cmd file and the wave.py file that gets the temperature data.

The db files is as flollows:

record(ai, "$(user):GETDATA")

{

   field(DTYP, "pydev")

   field(INP,"@temp1.getData()")

   field(SCAN, "1 second")

}

record(waveform, "$(user):TEMP")

{

   field(DTYP, "pydev")

   field(INP, "@pydev.iointr('temp_sent')")

   field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")

   #field(INP, "@temp1.temp_array")

   field(NELM, "1000")

   field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")

}

The st.cmd files is as follows:

#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/waveioc

< envPaths

epicsEnvSet("EPICS_CA_SERVER_PORT", 5070)

epicsEnvSet("IOCNAME","waveioc")

cd "${TOP}"

dbLoadDatabase "dbd/waveioc.dbd"

waveioc_registerRecordDeviceDriver pdbbase

drvModbusAsynConfigure("WORDIR","CAT1",slaveAddress,modbusFunction,modbusStartAddr,modbusLen,dataType,posMsec,"plcType")

pydev("import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'${PWD}')")

pydev("import modbus_tk")

pydev("from wave import Temp")

pydev("temp1 = Temp('192.168.0.11','502')")

dbLoadRecords "db/dbWaveform.db", "user=${IOCNAME}"

cd "${TOP}/iocBoot/${IOC}"

iocInit

I encounter a problem, the obtained temperature values are all 0, the real temperature are not 0. If only used  modbus_tk without PyDevice, there is no such error, and can caget the real temperature .

caget   waveioc:TEMP

waveioc:TEMP   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 

When the command file runs, it shows:

 Why can't I get the real temperature value?
