Hi Alex,


This looks promising, thank you for sharing. A couple of questions:

  1. The old MCS drivers supported a specific subset of MCS and motor record features. Does this support a similar subset?
  2. Any reason why you opted to link against the MCS2 SDK instead of talking over serial?
  3. It looks an IP and port is being hard-coded in the driver. Do you plan to generalize this? Are there other things that are hard-coded?
  4. Do you plan to submit this for the main motor record?

Hi Zachary,

 

Yes, we have an MCS2 IOC that we have been using without issue for the last few months at NSLS2:

 

SmarAct MCS2 IOC: https://github.com/bsobhani/smaract-mcs2

SmarAct MCS2 Motor Record: https://github.com/bsobhani/motor-mcs2

 

So far it has been tested on Debian 8 machines. Let me know if you run into any problems.

 

Alex

Is anyone developing motor record support for the SmarAct MCS2 controller? It unfortunately has a completely different command set than their previous MCS controller. We're looking to use these for some projects at SLAC.

 

Thanks,

Zachary Lentz
