Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hello all,

I'm trying to control PI E-712 with one axis(E-711.AM5A).

But the error message said that the motor driver can't turn on the servo state.

I use motor module(version 6.9) with the content of motorApp/PIGCS2Src

I use MOXA NPort 5650-8-DT(serial-to-Ethernet converter) to turn the RS-232 interface of PI E-712 to Ethernet interface.

The st.cmd executes pie712.cmd, then iocInit.

pie712.cmd (stripped):

$(PIE712-1P)PI_GCS2_CreateController("PIE712-1P", "PIE712", 1, 0, 0, 100, 1000)

$(PIE712-1P)dbLoadRecords("$(MOTOR)/db/PI_Support.db","P=13a:,R=PIE712-1P:,PORT=PIE712-1P,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1")

$(PIE712-1P)dbLoadRecords("$(ASYN)/db/asynRecord.db", "P=13a:,R=PIE712-1P:Asyn,PORT=PIE712,ADDR=0,OMAX=256,IMAX=256")

pie712_motors.substitutions:

file "$(MOTOR)/Db/asyn_motor.db"

{

  {ALIAS,             P,               M,    DTYP,        PORT,         ADDR,   DESC,        EGU,  DIR,  VELO,  VBAS,  ACCL,  BDST,  BVEL,  BACC,    MRES, PREC, DHLM, DLLM,  INIT}
  {13a:4BCC:X3,       13a:PIE712-1:,  "A", "asynMotor",  "PIE712-1P",     0,   "Xtal 3 X",   mm,  Pos,    .2,    .1,    .5,     0,     1,    .2,   .00001,    4,   20,  -20,  ""}
}

When executing pie712.cmd, there are error messages:

PI_GCS2_CreateController("PIE712-1P", "PIE712", 1, 0, 0, 100, 1000)

After iocInit, there are extra error messages:

Would you please provide some help?

Thanks
