Defining And Applying Carriers

  • In the flow properties, define an object named part1. Select Display object values from the object definition interface.
  • From the advanced settings, enable carrier definition and open its interface.
  • In the name field, type Basket then click Add. That will define a carrier called basket in the model.
  • Create a start process that creates objects of type part1, add 2 generic processes Load Basket and Unload Basket, then an End process.
  • Connect the flow and run the model to make sure that part1 is created.
  • Create a start process to create the basket, in the “define object creation” interface, select Define carriers only. Select basket from the carrier type to create. On the bottom of the interface, select “Stop the process after” and enter 1 in the number of carriers to create. The process will create only 1 basket.
  • Create a connection line from the Start (Basket) process to load basket.
  • Create a connection line from Unload Basket to load basket, In the properties, enable Behavior, conveyor setting and open the interface. Under behavior select Empty carrier path. That indicates that the connection will be used strictly to move empty carriers.
  • In the Unload basket settings, open the advanced settings and enable carrier requirement. Open the interface and add a carrier definition. Select Part1 under object type, basket under carrier, enable carrier wait, then 1 and 1 for the min and max number to load. In the minimum carrier field enter 1 to indicate the carrier requires at least 1 object to proceed.
  • Run the simulation. The basket would load part1 in the Load basket, and unloads it in the unload basket (Since there is not carrier requirement, the part is automatically unloaded).
