Signal support via the Clock function

Hello,

The application is supose to palletizing bags. I use a single input signal to open (1) or close (0) the gripper. I want to do so that the application waits for the signal to be generated by me (by clicking the input signal, gripper closed - 0), if I don't issue it manualy, it will close itself automatically after one second (gripper closed - 0). It have to be done with 'clock' function (With ClkStart, Stop, Read?- i don't know). Do you know how to do it?

Thank you for your help :)

    Is this in RS or real robot?  In either case you can put a filter active or passive on the signals, set it to 1000 ms.  It is in your system parameters for IO.  Then you WaitDI either 1 or 0 as needed.

    Can't say I get what you're trying to do -- but it sounds like the timeout option of a WaitDI could wait a little then take an action if you don't manually do it in time.
