Hi Boris,
The problem is that the software limit checking is done in the EPICS motor record, not in the driver. The motor record does send those limits to the driver, because in some cases the controller can also act on them. But writing those values to the controller
as you are doing does not set them in the motor record. Your program should set the limits in the record, not in the driver.

I have my asynMotor record with the following lines in motor.substitutions: {P, N, M, DTYP, PORT, ADDR, DESC, EGU, DIR, VELO, VBAS, ACCL, BDST, BVEL, BACC, MRES, PREC, DHLM, DLLM, INIT} {PREFIX:, 1, "WL", "asynMotor", MyController, 0, "motor $(N)", nm, Pos, .0, .0, .0, 0, 1, .2, 1e-6, 6, 17, 2, "0"} During the program run I would like to change the motor limits, which are now 2..17 with the following code: auto status1 = m_pAxes[0]->setDoubleParam(motorLowLimit_, newLowValue * 1e6); auto status2 = m_pAxes[0]->setDoubleParam(motorHighLimit_, newHighValue * 1e6); Both obtained status are asynSuccess. I have also checked the result by calling
double lowLimit = 0, highLimit= 0;
getDoubleParam (0, motorLowLimit_, &lowLimit);getDoubleParam (0, motorHighLimit_, &highLimit);
It was also correct. However, I would expect that the new low/high limits
should have impact on commands
caput PREFIX:WL.VAL someValue
However, the program behavior here is somehow strange.
Could you, please, explain me it.
With best wishes,
Boris
