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).
