Re: Delta Tau PMAC device server


Hello Andy,
                we have also en DESY a Tango Server for
PMAC Motors for monochromators. You can also have a look
 at that, I can also give you more details about the
 interface and how it works.

                      Regards,
                                   Teresa

Dear all,
thank you for your multiple replies on the PMAC device servers which exist. We will check them out.
I have since found out we will have the Geobrick LV with PMAC 2 Turbo 80Mhz controller. We will see which device server is best adapted to this model and then try to extend it to support all the functions we need in case some are missing. 

Best regards

Andy

Hello Andy,

here is DS (ethernet communication) which we are using in Alba:

https://tango-ds.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tango-ds/Servers/Motion/PmacEth

Work with it, is based on getting/setting pmac internal variables:
I,P,M.. running motion programs, and PLCs. There is also command
SendCtrlChar, which is used for composed queries e.g positions of all
axes, status of all axes, killing all axes etc.
Please have a look on README first (I still didn't have time to remove
some Alba's specifics)

If you plan to use it with Sardana, here is a controller code:

https://tango-ds.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tango-ds/Sardana/trunk/Pool/ctrls/lib/python/motor/PmacCtrl

Only the Turbo Pmac Sardana Controller is actually fully tested. Pmac
(without Turbo) was developed at beginning, but since we don't use any
of the in the production it was stalled. There are also couple of
controllers which derive from Turbo Pmac one, but they implement
peculiarities of different systems.

Any comments are very welcome,

Good luck!

Dear Tangoers,

Delta Tau?

Thanks
