Robot motion path by item

Hello everyone,

I am new to flexsim and i am trying to model a simple pick and place operation as follow:

Two different objects are generated with a lable (ObjType 1 or 2) inside a queue and depending on the label, each object is picked and place by a manipulator one of two different processors.

I want the robot to execute two different motion paths (that i have already created) with a trigger "OnLoad" as follow:

if item.ObjType = 1 use path x otherwise use path y to reach the station.

is there a way to access the path i want to use through scripting?

thank you everyone for the patience, hope in some help!

If you create the task sequence via code you can pass in the path number as a parameter when adding a task that involves travel. The used parameter normally defines the end speed, so when using it to set the path, the path number is signed with a minus.

TaskSequence.addTask(TASKTYPE_FRUNLOAD, item, robot, 0, -pathNumber)

The attached model demonstrates how this can be used (among other things). Depending on the height of the item, a different motion path is used.

For more details, see the documentation.
