Hi! I would like to set a time for loading and unloading the operator.

Hi! I would like to set a time for loading and unloading the operator for a certain group of processors (pp-uri) and another time for loading and unloading for another group of processors (vp-uri, tp_1, cp_1). How could I do this on my simulation model? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi

You can create table with both times for each group of machines (row number = group).

Then put the labels on machines from which row they should take value.

Then before blocks load and unload in process flow put Custom Code with one of this line:

setvarnum(Model.find("Operator_P1"), "loadtime",Table("GlobalTable1")[token.machine.row_number][1]);
setvarnum(Model.find("Operator_P1"), "unloadtime",Table("GlobalTable1")[token.machine.row_number][2]);

So the value of label on the machine will be a row number of table

You can find it in operator tree in variables. Select it with sampler chose first option and change get for set

Good Luck :)

I tried to apply the steps you described, but I couldn't. Could you look at my loaded model now to see what I did wrong or what doesn't work? I don't have much experience. Please help me!

I have the same problem. Could you be more explicit, please. I also don't have much experience with using software, but I try to learn.

Do this in the Custom Code block in Process Flow

But You need to have label row_number at every 3D Object from which you load or to which you unload
