Subject: Alarm if no status update received for a given time

Hi all,
I'm using some devices via a simple CAN device support for SocketCAN without 
support for acknowledged writes etc. The IOC instead periodically asks the 
devices for an update and they reply with a CAN packet containing the device 
status.

Now my question is very simple: What is the EPICS way of implementing a 
timeout which raises an alarm if a device did not answer for a given time? Is 
it possible to configure this alarm condition in the database?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Martin
