Hi,

The C-663 uses the PI General Command Set, and there's also Asyn based support in the motor support module:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/motor/

I'm currently using two C-663 controllers in a RS232 daisy chain configuration via a Moxa. The motor module doesn't contain the daisy chain support, but does work point-to-point.

The IOC startup file would contain the following commands:

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("PI1","10.112.2.4:4001",0,0,0)
PI_GCS2_CreateController("PIC1", "PI1", 1, 0, 0, 500, 1000)

Then the motor record would use the "PIC1" asyn port.

Cheers,
Matt
