Juliane,

The MCS and MCS2 controllers have different command sets. That command won't work with the MCS controller.

Hi Kevin,

smarAct does not support the EPICS driver, they did however mention the community-developed drivers that can be found on github. I had a look into this one: https://github.com/epics-motor/motorSmarAct/blob/master/smarActApp/src/smarActMCS2MotorDriver.cpp and found the variable theoryPosition that reads :CHAN%d:POS:TARG

Is that the required command to query a motor without an encoder? Then I could try to build a new IOC based on this package.

Thanks,
Juliane
