Hi folks, I’m still poking around at this whole EPICS thing, attempting to get my feet wet. I thought that I might try to talk to a temp controller I have on our Cs Sputter source here. Currently we only adjust the setpoint by walking into the
vault and using Bluetooth on our phones. The controller is an EZ-ZONE model number PM6C1CA-GAAAAAA. We have an ethernet module for it, and it’s picked up an address from DHCP, which I can ping from the Raspberry Pi where I’ve installed EPICS Base.
I found the pieces that Gary published at
https://github.com/tauferg/Watlow-PM though I can’t find the controller mentioned on the Watlow website. I cloned via git and determined that the second parameter to drvAsynIPPortConfigure should be the ip address. From Watlow_PM862FJ-3LEJAA_IOC/st.cmd.ModbusAddresses\
Only I have: drvAsynIPPortConfigure("watlow1", "10.0.0.196", 0, 0, 0) The next step, per README.md is to “Rename the files and place in the appropriate directories.” Which files need to be renamed, and where do they need to be placed? What is the next step here, or do I need to back up and continue working
on the st.cmd file? Any pointers appreciated. Greg -- Gregory Leblanc Accelerator Engineer Edwards Accelerator Lab - Ohio University 123 University Terrace Athens, OH 45701 M: (401) 52-OUAL1 or (401) 526-8251 |
