Combiner - alternating target quantities

Hi, is there a way to alternate the target quantities in a combiner?

From port 1 the combiner receives pallets and from port 2 boxes.

I'd like the combiner to pack 12 boxes in a pallet, then 16, then 12, then 16, then 12, then 16 and so on.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hello @Lambert Vn,

By default, in Combiner's Triggers you have an option to achieve this by using a global table. This is an easy way to achieve a parametric model and cutomise their capacity based on pallet properties (for example a reference). See example: 22.0. UpdateCombiner.fsm

In the example: I use a trigger in the source to specific pallet type and another in the combiner to update its info.

OnEntry > UpdateCombinerComponent's List based

See manual info: Combiner (flexsim.com)

I hope I have been helpful.
