Hej Mark,
good to hear from you.

EPICS base is here:

Author: Andrew Johnson <anj at anl.gov>
Date:   Thu May 28 18:12:51 2020 -0500

And asyn here:
commit 0c70f16c4b27f6717920f40e8c8e0fb2182cac64 (tag: R4-41)
Author: Mark Rivers <rivers at cars.uchicago.edu>

    Update release to R4-41


If someone says, please use to the latest, I will update everything.
But until this, I keep it as it is.

/Torsten

What versions of base and asyn are you using?

Subject: Re: asyn bo record staying in INVALID DRIVER UDF

Hej again,

the alaram goes away, if the record is processed one more time.
We don't need to write to the PV, it is enough to disconnect-
and re-connect. Then the asyn callbacks will trigger, and the alarm
goes away.

This code:
IOC:m6-OpenClutchdevAsynInt32.c: static long initBo(boRecord *pr)
{
      devPvt *pPvt;
      int status;
      epicsInt32 value = 0xFFFFFFFF;

      status = initCommon((dbCommon *)pr,&pr->out,
          processCallbackOutput,interruptCallbackOutput,
interruptCallbackEnumBo,
          2, (char*)&pr->znam, NULL, &pr->zsv);
      fprintf(stdout, "%s/%s:%d %s status=%d\n",
              __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__,
              pr->name, (int)status);
      if (status != INIT_OK) return status;
      pPvt = pr->dpvt;
      /* Read the current value from the device */
      status = pasynInt32SyncIO->read(pPvt->pasynUserSync,
                        &value, pPvt->pasynUser->timeout);
      fprintf(stdout, "%s/%s:%d  %s status=%d value=0x%X\n",
              __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__,
              pr->name, (int)status, value);
      if (status == asynSuccess) {
          pr->rval = value;
          return INIT_OK;
      }
      return INIT_DO_NOT_CONVERT;
}


gives this prints:

../../asyn/devEpics/devAsynInt32.c/initBo:1203 IOC:IOC:m6-OpenClutch
status=0
../../asyn/devEpics/devAsynInt32.c/initBo:1211  IOC:IOC:m6-OpenClutch
status=10 value=0x0

So that the poller() hasn't been able to talk to the controller (yet).


And later, when the callback comes:
static long processBo(boRecord *pr)
{
      devPvt *pPvt = (devPvt *)pr->dpvt;
      int status;
      fprintf(stdout, "%s/%s:%d %s pPvt->newOutputCallbackValue=%d\n",
              __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__,
              pr->name, pPvt->newOutputCallbackValue);

      epicsMutexLock(pPvt->devPvtLock);
      if(pPvt->newOutputCallbackValue && getCallbackValue(pPvt)) {
          /* We got a callback from the driver */
        fprintf(stdout, "%s/%s:%d %s pPvt->result.status=%d\n",
                __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__,
                pr->name, pPvt->result.status);
          if (pPvt->result.status == asynSuccess) {
              pr->rval = pPvt->result.value;
              pr->val = (pr->rval) ? 1 : 0;
              pr->udf = 0;
          }

../../asyn/devEpics/devAsynInt32.c/processBo:1225 IOC:m6-OpenClutch
pPvt->newOutputCallbackValue=1
../../asyn/devEpics/devAsynInt32.c/processBo:1232 IOC:m6-OpenClutch
pPvt->result.status=0

and here udf is set to zero.
But the alarm stays.

I don't know if this is a possible issue in base, asyn or somewhere else.

     Asyn-Experts,

     I am chasing an interesting problem.
     For a motor, we have a clutch that can be opened under very
     special conditions, say service mode.


     We define it like this:
     [...]
     The alarm seem to go away, if the record is processed one more time.
     (by disconnecting the IOC from the controller and re-establishing the
     connection).

     Is this a know phenomena ?
     Anything that can be done ?


How does the setup behave when using Channel Access?
(To see if it is a problem on the ASYN side or the QSRV side of the
database.)

Cheers,
~Ralph
