can anybody help ? is there an anyway of programming an audible alarm when a timer expires?. For example , if the cycle time of a robot program is 15 seconds. Can i program a timer to monitor so that if the next cycle exceeds 15 seconds the robot triggers an alarm which can also be audible ?. Is there an output in the cabinet which would power the audible alarm and if so which one is it , and secondly what lines of text would i need to write into the TP. I am not that electrically minded so any easy explanation regarding outputs would be appreciated. i hope this kind of makes sense and thanks for reading. Mike.

What control panel do you have? I know on a R30IB you will need to see if your Honda connector is hopefully wired to a junction box otherwise you'll have to do some soldering. Or better yet if you have the terminal block option installed you can wire an audible alarm to the terminal blocks. You'll have to do some searching to find more about wiring.
For code this is what you could do.
MAIN (THIS IS YOUR MAIN TP PROGRAM)
CALL CYCLETIME (THIS CALLS YOUR CYCLETIME TP PROGRAM)
LBL1
XXXXXXX (THIS SECTION IS THE START OF YOUR ROBOT PROGRAM)
XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
TIMER1=STOP (THIS STOPS THE TIMER)
TIMER1=RESET (THIS RESETS THE TIMER SO YOU CAN START YOUR CYCLE TIMING AGAIN)
JMP LBL1CYCLETIME (TP PROGRAM)
LBL1
IF (DI[XXX]=ON) THEN ; (YOU NEED SOMETHING TO TURN OFF YOUR ALARM)
TIMER[1]=STOP
TIMER[1]=RESET
DO[XXX]=OFF
ENDIF;IF (TIMER[1]>15) THEN ;
DO[XXX]=On ; (THIS TURNS ON YOUR ALARM)
ENDIF ;

Thanks for the info. The system controller is an R-J3. Looking in the cabinet i have been able to trace back on another output ( conveyor ) to a terminal card/block labelled up as A0D16D. When DO13 ( conveyor ) is called from the TP program 24V dc is triggered. Therefore i am assuming if i locate an output not aleady in use eg DO15, then this would give me 24v dc to power my auduible alarm. Can anybody see any reason why this would not work. Thanks in advance ,Mike.

nope you've got it. For the applications we do at my place, I've wired conveyors, lights, buzzers etc. to the output card in the control cabinet and fired them through a DO. That's all you have to do.
