Smart component timerquestion

Hi everybody.
IA'm quit new in Robotstudio, but i learn everyday.

But now am i stuck with a problem i dont now of to deal with.

IA'l try to explain.

I have a machine that produce a detail for every 60 secund. When the machine is done, i want to have a signal that tells the robot to go and get the detail. And i also want the detail to be visible in the machine.

1. Empty machine (timer starts 60s)

2. Visible detail in the machine. Trigger signal to robot.

3 Robot gets detail.

4 Timer starts again (no visible detail in machine.

 How do i do that? Best solution.

Can i use the timer in smart components?

Thanks in advance.
