Hi,
currently i am doing a project to count time from a motor and display on monitor
my question is using arduino can we count the idle time and run time of the motor or machine, The run time and idle time should be displayed on monitor, i have ARDUNIO UNO board, could you please help with this scenario and what are all the components i have to use and if possible can any one post code for this,how can i save machine run time in arduino and displays on monitor.
What sketches have you written so far?

Welcome to the forum.
using arduino can we count the idle time and run time of the motor or machine
Yes.
Depending upon the accuracy and period of measurement required, you may want to use an RTC (Real Time Clock) module like a DS3231 to keep track of the time.
How do you plan to detect when the motor is running or when it is idle?
if possible can any one post code for this
That is not how this forum works.
First, you need to write some code. Spend some time with Mr. Google or the Forum search window to get some ideas or examples on what you want to do. Searching Google with "counting run time of motor with Arduino" came up with over 500,000 hits.
If the sketch you write is not doing what you want it to do, ask some questions about what you have written. Tell us what you want to happen and what the code is doing instead. Make sure you post your complete code between the code tags found at the </> icon in the tool bar of the posting window. your code should look like this
If you have a hardware or wiring issue, be sure to post links to data sheets, and a sketch of your circuit.
People here will help you with your project, but you have to do some work first. One of the things that you can learn here, along with computer coding, is how to define a problem statement and ask well focused questions.
hi cattledog
we are having potential free contacts in main motor power contactor to measure the motor switched ON or OFF, using this signal as a input for arduino and i need output from pins(1 to 13), from that output can i connect digital clock timer.
can i get code to read external analog input to generate output.
