Re: Motor record with encoders

 I believe the motor driver is using model 1 (motor*Com.cc) API. Is it necessary to rewrite the driver to support model 3 ?

Yes the motor record can update REP when all motors are stopped.  If you are using a “Model 2” or “Model 3” driver that does callbacks when the motor is idle then the record will automatically process and update.  If you are using a “Model 1” driver then you need to write to the STUP field to force the record to read the status.

 Hello, is the motor record currently able to update the encoder position ("REP" PV) while all motors are stopped ?
