Description

Retrofitting analog hardware with digital interfaces is a efficient and budget-friendly way to modernize setup in an laboratory environment. For instance, manual linear axes can be seamlessly upgraded using a intergrated stepper motor or simple pumps can gain digital control via inexpensive DAC converters. These electronics bridge the gap between legacy mechanics and EPICS control without requiring expensive replacements.
I will show how easy it is, to control this electronic using modbus on two or three examples.
