Making M62/M63 codes failsafe

Is there a way to modify any settings to make M62 failsafe (revert to low) in the event of a program crash or emergency stop?  for example, a "following error" or something.

I'm using M62/M63 it to fire a laser and it works great until you manually stop motion or hangup.  Then the digital out stays high and the laser continues to fire.  Only after a deliberate (non zero) motion with M63 does it shut off.  For safety reasons, not ideal.

I'm using a 7i96 digital output pin if there's hardware solution someone is aware of

Thanks

Sending it through an AND component with the other input wired to machine-is-enabled or PWM-enable or mode-is-auto or.... should do the trick just fine.
That will stop the laser when any of those pins stops.
This is all in HAL.

Brilliant.  I'll give that a try.  Thanks

Not the correct forum, but since I started the topic here, I'll continue

The problem with wiring to "motion.motion-enabled" is that if you hit stop, motion is still enabled and the output continues to be high.  If i stop the program mid path, it continues to be high.

I think I need to do some digging and find a pin/signal to tie to that is only high when there is commanded motion.  It get more complicated because in this case I'd need to make sure it's motion in X OR Y (galvos).  Just in case it's a straight X or Y move.  Unless anyone can think of one?

I'm not sure what pin is "mode-is-auto".  Is that an "axis" pin?

A quick search through pins results in:
halui.mode.is-auto <<<< can be used as is
motion.teleop-mode <<<< is inverted so requires inversion
I would use the first one.

I had the similar problem but a different application. Solved with a small component. net x-vel-cmd and net y-vel-cmd to this component, and check if there is any movement (non-zero). Or use 2 wcomp, out to or2 will do the same.
And have look at motion.motion-type 1: Traverse , 2: Linear feed, 3: Arc feed

There is motion.current-vel to save a step there. Still need the wcomp, and will go true during jogs and rapids.

This might be a good choice, as it remains zero during jogs.

You could also use motion.program-line which is zero when a program is not tunning (and during a toolchange / pause)

Using motion-type needs a bit of HAL logic or possibly a custom component depending on what you are comfortable with.

It's slightly inconvenient that the motion-type is a signed integer, as most of the bit-twiddling components want an unsigned int. So first I think you would need to use conv_s32_u32 to convert.
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/conv_s32_u32.9.html

Then I think what I would use might be slightly non obvious, mux_generic. mux_generic can take an unsigned int as an input and have a defined output for each value. If configured as a bit output then you can select the output separately for each motion-type, and can save the and2 by wiring the laser enable through it
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/mux_generic.9.html
loadrt conv_s32_u32
loadrt mux_generic config=bb8
...
addf conv_s32_u32.0   servo-thread
addf mux-gen.0        servo-thread
...
net s32_type motion.motion-type => conv_s32_u32.0.in
net u32-type conv_s32_u32.out => mux-gen.00.sel-int
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-00 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-01 0
net laser-enable mux-gen.00.in-bit-02
net laser-enable mux-gen.00.in-bit-03
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-04 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-05 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-06 0
setp mux-gen.00.in-bit-07 0
net laser-enable-interlocked mux-gen.00.out-bit

This passes-through the signal laser-enable to laser-enable-interlocked to be used elsewhere if the motion-type is 2 or 3, and sends zero otherwise.

Yeah, I spent some time thinking about bit banging the motion-type route.  That may be the way to go, but It had occured to me there may be a simpler solution.

NOT the motion-teleop-mode to flip the bit

AND2 motion.teleop-mode with motion.motion-enable

This protects against both conditions I'm worried about

1. "joint X following error" shut down
In this case motion.motion-enable = False and motion.teleop-mode = False (bit flipped to True)
AND2 function = False

2. Manual stop mid lasing path
In this case motion.motion-enable = True and motion.teleop-mode = True (bit flipped to False)
AND2 function = False

Under normal operation both motion.motion-enabled = True and motion.teleop-mode = False (bit flipped to True)
AND2 function = True

Seems like that should catch both of those conditions above with only 2 bitwise operations

Of course there's an additional AND2 with the M62 output pin for actual firing.  All 3 conditions need to be true in order to fire

Am I'm missing something?  Some condition I'm not covered for?  Since it's a laser and glavos, I'm not really doing any jogging.  Nor will I ever need to fire the laser when it's not running a program.  That's how deep holes are made :)

Possibly.  My solution is only two components and is relatively easy to modify if you decide you want laser on G0 too. 
(If you MDI a G0 you probably don't want the laser to enable.)

The setp mux-gen.00input.NN 0 lines are optional, I put them there so that there was a clear table to configure.
