Timer to set signal that a lathe is done

fallang

Hi.

I´m trying to get a signal from a lathe that it is done.

I use the smart component timer to pulse a singal to create a DI_signal for the robot.

But nothing happens. The DI doesn´t get high. I cant even see that the timer pulses a signal.

Is it not possible to do it like this?

Fredrik,
Not sure if you got this going but I had the same problem.  Figured out that you must be running the simulation before the timers will work.  So on the Simulation Tab press the Play button and then try your timers.

I have attached a Library that has my completed Smart Component Timer.  This consist of:
1. Timer
2. Latch
3. NOT Logic operator

Because the Timer just pulses the Output you need the latch to latch in that the timer was done.  Then you need the NOT Logic Operator to reset the timer and the Output saying the timer is complete.  Feel free to improve this however you want.
