RE: EPICS support for Delta Tau UMAC system

["Zhan Zhang" <zhanzhang@anl.gov>]

Thanks to Daron, Mark & Matthew!  
Now I know where to start.  I had been to the
page--http://www.gmca.anl.gov/TPMAC2/index.html a couple of times before but
didn't know that's what I need since I had no clue.  I will play with it a
bit now.  
Thanks again!

Hi Zhan,

The tpmac support module has support for ethernet PMACs. There is an Asyn
interpose layer that deals with the additional protocol that the ethernet
PMACs need.

In your IOC startup file, you'll need something like this:

#Asyn PORT name, #IP address and IP port 
pmacAsynIPConfigure("pmacLV", "172.23.243.156:1025") 

#Asyn PORT name, #Asyn ADDR, #Card ID, #Number of axes
pmacAsynMotorCreate("pmacLV", 0, 0, 8) 

#Asyn PORT name for motor record, #Asyn motor driver name, #Card ID, #Number
of axes+1 
drvAsynMotorConfigure("PMAC1", "pmacAsynMotor", 0, 9)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Matthew
