The Animatics SmartMotor EPICS device driver supports both single and daisy
|
|
chained serial connections.
|
|
|
|
For RS232 daisy chained applications, the following program must be down loaded
|
|
to each motor in the chain. Set "#" below to the address of each consecutive
|
|
motor; starting with 1.
|
|
|
|
SADDR#
|
|
ECHO
|
|
LIMD <- Omit from firmware 4.77 and above.
|
|
LIMH
|
|
END
|
|
|
|
For RS232 or RS485 non-daisy-chained applications, the EPICS device driver
|
|
requires that echo mode be turned off (ECHO_OFF).
|
|
|
|
From the Animatics "SmartMotor User's Guide";
|
|
"A single RS-232 SmartMotor can operate in either state, but a daisy chain of
|
|
RS-232 SmartMotors must operate in ECHO mode for data to get through the
|
|
network. RS-485 SmartMotors must operate in the ECHO_OFF mode or there will be
|
|
data collisions."

Device Driver Design Restriction and Limitations
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
- This device driver only supports SmartMotor firmware versions 4.15
|
|
and above.
|
|
|
|
- A network of RS-485 SmartMotor's is not supported by this device driver.
|
|
|
|
- Non-daisy-chained SmartMotor's (i.e., a serial port for each SmartMotor) must
|
|
have their echo mode turned off (ECHO_OFF).
