motorAutomation1

EPICS motor driver for the following Aerotech controller: Automation1

motorAutomation1 is a submodule of motor. When motorAerotechAutomation1 is built in the motor/modules directory, minor manual configuration is needed.

motorAutomation1 can also be built outside of motor by copying it's EXAMPLE_RELEASE.local file to RELEASE.local and defining the paths to MOTOR and itself.

motorAutomation1 contains an example IOC that is built if CONFIG_SITE.local sets BUILD_IOCS = YES. The example IOC can be built outside of driver module.

Note: In order to build and run this motor module, the user must do the following:

  1. Copy the C API header files (from your Automation1 installation) to the motorAutomation1/automation1Sup/Include directory.
  2. Copy the C API shared object files (libautomation1c.so and libautomation1compiler.so) to the motorAutomation1/automation1Sup/Lib directory.
  3. Add the path of the bin generated during the build (when building from MOTOR it should be /synApps_X_X/support/motor-RX-X/bin/linux-x86_64) to the system's '''LD_LIBRARY_PATH''' or equivalent variable used to find runtime libraries.

If using st.cmd.automation1 from the example IOC, be sure to change the host name to the IP address of your Automation1 controller.

The Automation1 C API for Linux supports Debian 10.x. This motor module has also been tested on Ubuntu 18.04. Any Linux distribution that has GCC 8.3.0, GLIBC 2.28, GLIBCXX 3.4.25, libsodium 1.0.17, or newer versions, may work.
