Hej Mark,

you need 2 asyn ports, one for the motorRecord to
talk to your "Animatics SmartMotor" asynMotorDriver.

The second one to let the "Animatics SmartMotor" asynMotorDriver
talk to the real hardware.
We call them "MCU1" and "MC_CPU1", better suggestions are welcome.


A simplified setup is here:

## The db file:
record(motor,"$(PREFIX)$(MOTOR_NAME)")
{
	field(DESC,"$(DESC)")
	field(DTYP,"asynMotor")
	field(OUT,"@asyn($(MOTOR_PORT),$(AXIS_NO))")
}

##st.cmd
epicsEnvSet("ASYN_PORT",     "MC_CPU1")
epicsEnvSet("MOTOR_NAME",    "IOC:m1")
epicsEnvSet("MOTOR_PORT",    "MCU1")
epicsEnvSet("AXIS_NO",       "1")


drvAsynIPPortConfigure("$(ASYN_PORT)","$(IPADDR):$(IPPORT)",0,0,0)
EthercatMCCreateController("$(MOTOR_PORT)", "$(ASYN_PORT)", "$(NUMAXES)", "200", "1000") 

EthercatMCCreateAxis("$(MOTOR_PORT)", "$(AXIS_NO)",)

I hope that hopes a little bit.

Can anyone provide an example of how to setup and use an Animatics SmartMotor?
From what I could figure out looking at the code, I expect it is something along these lines: 

# For a connection via a Moxa Ethernet-to-serial adapter:
drvAsynIPPortConfigure("TapeStation", "192.168.137.99:4001")

# SmartMotorSetup(maxCtlrCount, pollRate)
SmartMotorSetup(1, 5)

# SmartMotorConfig(cardNum, "asynPortName")
SmartMotorConfig(0, "TapeStation")


And then the motor record would look something like this:

record(motor, "MyMotor")
{
   field(DTYP, "SmartMotor")
   field(OUT,  "@0 TapeStation ????")
   ...
}
Is that even close?  The one I am most unsure of is what to use for the OUT value in the motor record.
