How to monitor error-pin on 3d probe?

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the  Vers WLR v9 probe  and i got it working fine together with the Vers toolsetter. However, there is a pin out for errors. This triggers if there is issues with the communication for the probe(e.g. if it runs out of battery, is not turned on, communication fails and so), but how to configure this in HAL to halt the probe-cycle? First i thought about making some logic to check if motion-type is "probing" and combine that with the error pin. But the issue is the famous "one pin for all probing", so i don't think i "know" if i'm using the 3D probe and should monitor the error pin or i'm using the toolsetter and the 3D probe is intentional not active(causing the error-pin to trigger!). I've seen several posts about using M-codes to determine which probing cycle to run, but i've also seen people warn about this approach since it requires you to remember to use them each time....

Am i missing something obvious here or have others found a clever solution to this?

Rather than preventing motion altogether, you could simply put a message on the screen when the probe fault output is set, using the "message" HAL component.

That said, how much of an issue is it if the toolsetter is disabled when the probe has a fault?

If the probe has a specific tool number, you could potentially add that to your logic.
