Subject: PMAC asyn autoconnect issue

Hi,

I've been investigating an issue with the PMAC driver regarding reconnection via Ethernet. When the controller is powered off the IOC starts emitting messages like the following (as expected):

2018/02/12 12:00:14.826 pmacController::lowLevelWriteRead: Error from pasynOctetSyncIO->writeRead. command: #2 ? F P
2018/02/12 12:00:14.826 drvPmacAxisGetStatus: not all status values returned. Status: 3
Command :#2 ? F P


However, when the controller is powered on again, the IOC does not re-establish the connection (even though noAutoConnect is set to zero).

This is the sequence of calls that lead to these messages:

lowLevelWriteRead calls pasynOctetSyncIO->writeRead
pasynOctetSyncIO->writeRead calls pasynManager->queueLockPort
pasynManager->queueLockPort calls pasynManager->queueRequest

queueRequest sets checkPortConnect = TRUE

If checkPortConnected was FALSE autoConnectDevice would be called later on and a new connection would be attempted. But for this particular call chain checkPortConnected is always set to TRUE.

Now, since queueRequest fails a request is never queued and pasynManager->portThread's autoConnectDevice is also not reached.



So my question is how to properly configure/trigger an auto connect?


PS.: I found this old thread that might be related:

Thanks!
