4) The OMS VME58 servo motor controller board (i.e., model -8S) is unable to
move off an activated limit switch. Users are advised to avoid this
situation.
Modification Log from R5-2 to R5-3
==================================
1) The update (polling) rate for the "OMS VME8/44" device driver was incorrect.
File modified: - omsSetup() in drvOms.cc.
2) When TWV is set to less than MRES, the following scenario would result.
First, tweak forward (TWF). Since DIFF < MRES, the motor is not moved.
Next, tweak reverse (TWR). Next TWF again. The motor record does not
respond; i.e., DVAL and RVAL are not updated; VAL is not posted.
A single tweak, back and forth, confirms that the motor record is not
responding.
The problem was that do_work() in motorRecord.c was performing the "no
move" test before testing for new positions and posting new positions.
File modified: - do_work() in motorRecord.cc
3) The motor record would lock-up when a user tried to move off an activated
limit switch with the OMS VME58 servo motor controller board (i.e.,
model -8S). See above "Known Problems" item #4.
File modified: - set_status() in drvOms58.cc; had to force CDIR to
match the limit switch polarity for record level code
to see the limit switch error condition.
