Dear,
How this IOC module should work?
I run the /mca/iocBoot/iocAmptek/st.cmd file nothing happend

[guest@localhost iocAmptek]$ ./st.cmd
[guest@localhost iocAmptek]$

I have compiled successfully, and successfully communicated with the X-123SDD hardware device, but I don't know how to run ioc.

Your sincerely
Kangwen

You run the IOC as follows:

cd mca/iocBoot/iocAmptek
../../bin/linux-x86_64/mcaAmptekApp st.cmd

If you EPICS_HOST_ARCH is not linux-x86_64 then replace that with the correct path.

Dear Mark,
I ran st.cmd the way you told me, here's what I ran, I don't know if it's right, what modifications do I need to make.

The problem is that it is sending a broadcast message to the correct subnet, 10.50.10.255, but it does not appear to be receiving a response from the module.

Here are some questions:

  • Can you ping the module?
  • Can you control the module using the vendor software?

Dear Mark，
I can ping the module.
b40e689c84fda59545f0c18166c94b8
I set static ip by vendor software.
I run the st.cmd file find the same error,it does not appear to be receiving a response from the module.

Dear Mark,

I connected to an amptek device, but the port shows 3040, I show the port in the vendor software is 10001, I don't know if this is correct, here is the result of my st.cmd run, I don't know if it is right, what else I need to do.

What did you change so that it found the Amptek device? Previously it was not finding any Amptek devices.

I think the driver uses port 3040 for broadcast messages to find the modules on the network, and then uses port 10001 for normal UDP communication.

The driver sends UDP messages to port 10001 in this line:
https://github.com/epics-modules/mca/blame/0c3e8b76aaad7a9616e44f0bb41fa927abd1608e/mcaApp/AmptekSrc/DppSocket.cpp#L463

It sends broadcast messages to port 3040 here:

mca/mcaApp/AmptekSrc/DppSocket.cpp

Line 140 in 0c3e8b7

iRetSock = BroadCastSendTo(buff, 6, 3040, pNode->addr.ia);

Here there is a commented out line for port 3040, and instead it gets the port dynamically:

mca/mcaApp/AmptekSrc/DppSocket.cpp

Line 207 in 0c3e8b7

// nPort = 3040;

It uses port 3040 to read the response from NetFinder messages here:

mca/mcaApp/AmptekSrc/DppSocket.cpp

Line 231 in 0c3e8b7

nPort = 3040;

Please try power-cycling the module. Make sure you are not running the vendor software at the same time you are running the EPICS IOC. You must wait at least 20 seconds after closing the IOC before opening it again.

I'm sure I didn't have the commercial software open when I ran it.It should be read to the device.Is this a success?
There are still some problems with running st.cmd, I don't know if there is any impact, I extracted it below.
If nothing is wrong, what should I do next.

Another possibility is a firewall. Are you running the vendor software on Linux or Windows? If it is on Linux, is it running on the same machine as the IOC? I would suggest disabling the Linux firewall and seeing if the IOC can then connect to the device.

Thank you very much.
I have successfully connected to the device.

What was the problem?

You remind me to turn off the firewall.
Turn off the firewall for centos7.
Run st.cmd, which can read the device.
Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,
