we have a Wiener PL512 Power supply crate and were wondering if anyone
had written an IOC for it in Linux (or in general).
 From the looks of the manufactures website it appears to only
communicate either via OPC or SNMP. We would like to use the ethernet
connection if possible - to mirror the CAEN SY2527 implementation we have.

Device support exists in the EPICS community for both OPC and SNMP -
we're just starting to deploy an IOC that monitors all our network
equipment via devSNMP support. Here at APS the person responsible is
Janet Anderson <[email protected]> but I believe we got the original code
from SNS (I'm not sure if we've contributed our changes back to them yet
though). I know that other sites such as DESY are also using devSNMP.
My understanding of the OPC support (from BESSY I think) is that it
requires a Windows server to be running, but that might have changed
since I heard about it.
