How to create a conditional to a combiner?

Base del Modelo 2.fsmHello everyone,

I have a problem, how can I configure the combiner so that when the Queue2 is complete it stops working and does not process anything until the units are removed and it starts again,

Can you help me in this, I have tried to find a solution and I have not found. I am very grateful for your response, Thank you.

Hi @Moisés Cálderon,

Can you post your model? You should be able to do this using triggers on the combiner and/or queue after you set MaxContent on the queue. But it will be easier to help if you post your model.

If your model contains sensitive information, you could first toggle your post as private using the "make private" option under your question's "gear" menu. Private questions are visible only to site moderators. You can also contact your local FlexSim distributor for phone or email help.

Hi @Moisés Cálderon ,

base-del-modelo-updated.fsm

You can do this by using process flow to close and open the ports of the combiner when the Content of Queue2 gets to 4. When Queue2 is full, the Combiner input ports are closed and it stops processing until Queue2 is empty and it starts up again.

Hello Carter
Good afternoon


I have a doubt, I want to make a replica to what you have done but I do not get (also I see that this blocked the 4UND) View the images

I want to replicate it with the Queue6 and this is desabastezca when a customer arrives.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi @Moisés Cálderon ,

For the On Content Change event, there are several Change Rules depending on when we want to trigger an activity. If it is set to "Increase", the trigger will fire whenever the queue content increases. If we set it to something like "Increase to Exact Value", we can specify what content value we want the trigger to fire (for example, when the queue content gets to 6).

I wasn't sure what exactly you wanted with Queue6 but I set it up to be similar to Queue2. You can adjust the close/open port activities to match what you want. In this example, when Queue6 content increases to 6, the Queue6 input is close until content decreases to 0.

Let me know if that makes sense! If you can't open this file, let me know what version of FlexSim you have. 2017 wasn't working for the one you attached

Hello Carter
Good afternoon

I have made several logics but I see that they are failing, here in the image I detail you what I am requesting


1. the separate machine should pick up the product when the customer arrives (in Queue8), meanwhile it should not pick up the product (in the image it picks up from the beginning). The logic is already done.


2. Station 1, is not fulfilling this picking knowing that Queue3 is full 4. Also Queue3 and Queue4 should always be kept in 4 trays and the other in 6 trays.


3. Is there a way to make the customer arrival fulfill a statistical function and the quantity as well (for example here I did it manually in a table T1 (product quantity) and T2 (customer arrival).


Support me with it, the model is simulated in version 2023.

I remain attentive to your answer
