poolmotor

This module is part of the Python Pool libray. It defines the base classes for

Classes

PoolMotor

PoolMotor

class PoolMotor(**kwargs)

Bases: PoolElement

An internal Motor object. NOT part of the official API. Accessing this object from a controller plug-in may lead to undetermined behavior like infinite recursion.

on_change(evt_src, evt_type, evt_value)

calculate_state_info(state_info=None)

Transforms the given state information. This specific base implementation transforms the given state,status tuple into a state, new_status tuple where new_status is “self.name is state plus the given status. It is assumed that the given status comes directly from the controller status information.

Parameters:

status_info – given status information [default: None, meaning use current state status.

Returns:

a transformed state information

inspect_limit_switches()

returns the current (cached value of the limit switches

Returns:

the current limit switches flags

get_limit_switches(cache=True, propagate=1)

Returns the motor limit switches state.

Parameters:

• cache (bool) – if True (default) return value in cache, otherwise read value from hardware

• propagate (int) – 0 for not propagating, 1 to propagate, 2 propagate with priority

Return type:

SardanaAttribute
