Subject: abdf1 driver that logs with logMsg? - I know this is a real long shot

Hi all,

we have an EPICS ioc (ppc604, mvme5100 to be exact) that connects to an Alle Bradley PLC using the abdf1 driver. We have some errors recorded from state notation language but that only goes into the buffer of the console switch. We use logMsg (not sure exactly where that comes from) to write to a nightly EPICS.log which is much easier to access than the console switch that only allows one connection at a time.

The abdf1 version used dates back to 2011, and we're still running EPICS 3.13.8 on VxWorks 5.5. While I'd like to upgrade to EPICS 7 and for many (at least the monitoring) things softIocs we don't have the effort to do that in a more than very piecemeal way, if at all.

TIA,
