RE: [motorPIGCS2] can't turn on servo state of PI E-712

[Allan Serra Braga Bugyi via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi LiangChih,

In this line: https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2/blob/3aaf5ed20938181420edbf296a4044f57d3811b7/iocs/pigcsWithoutDevSup/pigcsWithoutDevSupApp/src/PIasynAxis.cpp#L93

So it calls the 'setAxisPosition' method from 'PIGCSController' class, passing the parameter 'm_positionCts' (the current position), which holds the result of POS? command. The 'PIGCSController::setAxisPosition' sends RON command with parameter 0 (to set closed loop off), then POS command with the current position, then RON command with parameter 1 (to set closed loop on).

There are some controllers that doesn't recognize RON command, which is not a problem.

Hi Allan,

> I used to do the referencing through the manufacturer IDE and then ran the IOC.

After performing a reference move (command FRF) and turning servo on (command SVO), I can move the axis successfully (via direct commands). However, if I run the EPICS IOC after that, the following error messages will occur repeatedly:

2019/08/01 10:21:19.114 PIGCSController::getGCSError() GCS error code = 10
2019/08/01 10:21:19.114 PIGCSController::getGCSError() GCS error, Controller was stopped by command

> suggests (among other things) referencing the axis right in the initialization method of the PIasynAxis

I checked the files committed by you, but couldn't figure out what part is for doing reference move in PIasynAxis initialization. Would you please point it out?

Best regards.

Hi LiangChih,

I also worked with PI controllers E-727 and C-867 using motorPIGCS2. Indeed, there is no referencing during the initialization of a PIasynAxis. I used to do the referencing through the manufacturer IDE and then ran the IOC.

I opened a pull request to the module's project, which suggests (among other things) referencing the axis right in the initialization method of the PIasynAxis. You can find the specific commit here: https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2/pull/1/commits/3aaf5ed20938181420edbf296a4044f57d3811b7

Assunto: [motorPIGCS2] can't turn on servo state of PI E-712

 

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

replaced by motorPIGCS2 (https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2).

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):

dbLoadTemplate("pie712_motors.substitutions")
asynSetTraceMask(PIE712,-1,0x3)  
asynSetTraceIOMask(PIE712,-1,0x1)

$(PIE712-1P)drvAsynIPPortConfigure("PIE712", "192.168.2.52:4006", 0, 0, 0)

asynSetTraceMask(PIE712,-1,0x1) 
asynSetTraceIOMask(PIE712,-1,0x0)

$(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_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}

}

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?
