Hi all,
I am trying to set up a few motors on a PMAC system with ethernet connection. I
have never worked with PMAC before and need some help.
I tried the tpmac package but I do not understand completely what I have to
write in the startup script and how set up the motor records. I need access to
13 motors with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,17,18,19.
Can someone send me an example startup script and an example motor record, please?
So far, I guessed from various bits of documentation:
drvAsynIPPortConfigure pmac xx.xx.xx.xx:1025
pmacAsynIPPortConfigure pmac 0
pmacAsynMotorCreate pmac 0 0 19
drvAsynMotorConfigure pmacmotor pmacAsynMotor 0 20
After pmacAsynMotorCreate, I get error messages like these:

With only drvAsynIPPortConfigure and pmacAsynIPPortConfigure, I can get access
to the asynOctet layer and get responses to strings like "M9", but only
sometimes. Often, stopping the ioc brings the PMAC in a state where it does not
respond any more. Only a power cycle of the PMAC help. Any idea what is wrong?
Some more questions:
Can the motor record read the encoder values from PMAC?
How can I use programs (homing an scanning procedures) on the PMAC?
How to access other values (analog and binary IO) on the PMAC?
Thanks in advance for any help
Dirk
