I think that there are 2 possibilties here:

a) Upgrade the asyn module

(not sure out of my head, when the number of parameters became obsolete,

but the latest works)

b) increase the number of parameters (the 10 from below)

with 16, giving 26, if I count right.

PIasynController::PIasynController(const char *portName, const char* asynPort, int numAxes, int priority, int stackSize, int movingPollPeriod, int idlePollPeriod)

: asynMotorController(portName, numAxes, 10,

Subject: 回覆: EPICS support for PI E-500 piezo controller

Hello EPICS mates,

I'm trying to control PI E-518 which is the communication interface module of the PI E-500 piezo controller system.

EPICS base: 3.14.12.5

Motor module: 6-11

The folder PIGCS2Src in Motor module 6-11 seems not support E-518.

So I updated the folder with the newest files from GitHub

https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2/tree/master/pigcs2App/src ,

and passed the compiling.

When creating motor record for E-518, it shows two kinds of error messages(excerpted):

2023/09/20 15:02:55.455 asynPortDriver:createParam: port=PIE518-1P error adding parameter PI_SUP_KP_A to list 0, too many parameters

and

2023/09/20 15:02:55.457 asynPortDriver:setDoubleParam: port=PIE518-1P error setting parameter 94 in list 0, bad index

I don't know how to fix it. Would you provide some suggestions?

The full error messages:

Thanks Kevin.

I later found out that E-500 is the name of the system.

Its communication interface module is E-518

which is supported by motorPIGCS2 module.

https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2

ps. The label "E-518" is not in an obvious place of the E-500 chassis.

Best regards.

主旨: Re: EPICS support for PI E-500 piezo controller

The E-500 isn't in the list of supported controllers, but it still may
be supported by the motorPIGCS2 module:

https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2

The communication interface card might of the E-500 might report a
different version string in response to the "*IDN?" command, which is
what the motor driver queries:

https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2/blob/0a452b905d2754dd774701013de3046e4c1f2f16/pigcs2App/src/PIasynController.cpp#L120

and then uses to determine the controller type:

https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2/blob/0a452b905d2754dd774701013de3046e4c1f2f16/pigcs2App/src/PIGCSController.cpp#L43-L109
