How to support seperate resolutions for position, velocity and acceleration with motorRecord?

[ps3017]

Hi,
I'm working with a Thorlabs Kinesis motor controller KDC101 and a Thorlabs motor Z825BV. Its device units to EGU (mm) conversion is different for distance, velocity and acceleration:

• distance: 1 mm = 34555 dev. units
• velocity: 1 mm/s = 772970 dev. units
• acceleration: 1 mm/s^2 = 264 dev. units.

From motorRecord documentation I assumed one resolution (set in the field MRES) is used for position, velocity and acceleration - or is there already a way to specify different resolutions for these 3 parameters using motorRecord?

I've added 4 records to the .db file of my IOC in order to take into account the different resolutions for velocity and acceleration. 2 records *_EGU are used to enter the desired value in engineering units and 2 record *_v/accRes are used to calculate the difference between position resolution and velocity/acceleration resolution and sending calculated values to the motorRecord VELO and ACCL fields via the OUT field.

When I enter values to the PV: $(P)$(M)_VELO_EGU, the velocity is correctly calculated and both the VELO and S fields are updated (same goes for the PV: $(P)$(M)_ACCL_EGU and fields ACCL and JAR). However, when I try to move the motor relative or absolute the motor state is "Moving" (MSTA = 0x401), but the motor doesn't actually move, instead it stays stuck in the "Moving" state.

Is the processing of the 4 added records (2 x ai ,2 x calcout) with FLNK and OUT fields interfering with the processing of the main motor record? If so how can I change the database in order to include the resolution calculation and be able to move the motor normally?

This is the content of the .db file with the 4 added records:
