    Basically each time you activate a signal, you need to also set a timer, so if the required input signal doesn't happen within the timer, things fault out (use a DoOemButton(xxxx) where xxxx is the code for E-stop), however I've totally forgotten how you do that in Mach3 Macros :-/
    .
    A quick search on the Mach forum has thrown up this thread - http://www.machsupport.com/forum/ind....html#msg86334
    Look at the "timeout" variable and how it is updated/monitored.
    That macro also has the required OEM button numbers.
    .
    You should also add a check before the end of the macro which checks that the correct tool position has been achieved.
