Hello Jerome,
I spoke too soon. Disregard my earlier message.
How is your MAXv AX axis configured?
- stepper motor with encoder feedback (PSE)
- servo (PSM)
- stepper without encoder (PSO)
This is from the 2nd arguement of the MAXvConfig()
call.

Hello Jerome,
Yes, there appears to be a bug in the motor record associated with
setting

the state of the limit switch indicator (RA_HOME) in the MSTA field.

Currently, RA_HOME is not getting set in process_motor_info() if

EA_PRESENT and UEIP are true. That's not right, RA_HOME should

be set unconditionally.
I'll contact you as soon as I get a patch on the motor record web site.
Thanks for the catching this,
Ron

Hi all,
I use a OMS MAXV4000/ MOTOR R 6.3 / EPICS base 3.14.9 / ASYN 4.9 /
vxWorks 6.2 / CPU Motorola MVME5500-0161 - MPC 7457
My problem is :

On EDM , a status HOME is always on 0 . ( I click on STATUS but
nothing change)

I check with a personnal SMV function
SMV("AX RA") REQUEST AXIS STATUS
I have this response
recv_mess(): card#0 - MNNH
MAXV>MNNH<
A driver see a HOME but on EDM nothing changed
i try to caget "IOC:m1.ATHM" but it s always on 0
(I think that EPICS record was not updated)
how resolv this BUGs !!!
thanks per advance
