Time out on toolchange was created by emcPT
Hello,
In a tool change component when something goes wrong a time out is normally present on machines that indicates that the tool change went wrong.
How can a time out be accomplished inside a component ? For example if the tool change does not occur in 10 seconds it should enter in error.
Thank you

I do my tool change in Classicladder so timers are easy.
I think (guess) you could make a timer of some sort in a component maybe counting cycles or something. Oh take a look at the time component it tracks time.
Edit: and look at the timedelay component.

You mean inside a realtime HAL component?
Typically a HAL component is written as a state machine:and so on.
To add a timeout:

case 99: // Handle timeout heree

Yes, we implemented like a delay (that we were using in another machines) and quite similar to your implementation and it works fine.
About the classicladder I never tested as we are able to do almost anything with components.
