Hey Scott,
I've done support Ethernet and serial support for the single channels (SPCe). I haven't looked at the manual for the MPC, but there shouldn't be much difference. You'll likely need two different protocols. The serial uses a checksum and the Ethernet doesn't. You can send me your protocol file if you want me to take a look.

Subject: ethernet-based Gamma ion pump controller (mpc)
We're trying to control a Gamma ion multi-pump controller via ethernet
from a soft ioc. The problem is that we can't get any response from the
controller. We're using a stream device protocol file that previous
worked for an RS232 gamma ion pump controller. Although I have also not
been able to get any response by telnetting directly to the port and
attempting to issue commands.
This device uses a checksum, so the problem could be that the checksum
is incorrect or some other problem such as the configuration of the MOXA
serial to ethernet card that's internal to the device. It appears that
I've configured the bit rate, parity, and stop bits to match the devices
settings. What else should I be checking? perhaps the response is just
not being transmitted over ethernet and I should configure data packing?
or something else.
