Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy an EPICS network between a linux PC, a MicroBox with OPC Server and a Siemens PLC.

The MicroBox basically gets the registers from the PLC, stores them into OPC Server database and after puts them into EPICS database using OpcIocShell.

On the linux PC side I have developed the EPICS IOC which loads the same data base.

My problem comes when I start my IOC and I get the next error message for each PV of the data base:

Can't set "<PV NAME>.DTYP" to "opc"

Error at or before ")" in path "." file "opc.db" line x"

Any ideas about how to resolve it?

Thank you very much,

Antonio Borondo
