I strongly agree.
Creating templates for different power supply types are probably a good
way to go in most cases.
We even broke up our power supply templates into smaller units, most of
which are only consisting of a single record. (Templates for "status
word", "status bit", "command word", "command bit", ...)
The only exception - maybe - being a case where you have a large number
of very similar, very complex power supplies that need a complex state
machine to be operated. The only example that I know of: high voltage
power supplies in large detectors.
Even in such a case I would consider putting only the complex state
machine into a separate custom (or generic subroutine) record.
Good luck!

Hi Susanna,
I had a similar idea 8 years ago for some in-house developed power
supply at PSI.
Luckily I got some advice not to do it that way (Thanks Bob!).
If you use one record per power supply, your application will suffer
from a lack of expandability, flexibility and usability.
