Set order of send to port

Hi guys,

I want to ask about how to set the order of send to port.

At my case, I have 18 product, but only 2 (product 1&2) go back to queue 3 and go through processor (load, wash, unload) again.

I want to set the order that when product 1 completed all 20 items then processor Load start to receive product 1 that go back from queue3, after complete product 1 (twice), Load start to receive product 2 from queue1.

But I have no idea about how to set it. Hope anyone can help!

Thank you so much!

I attached file in this link, sorry because forum have some issue so that I cannot send file here.

Use the two triggers at the load station "Pull from Port" and "Pull Requirement".

Keep a track of what's been happening using a labels on the load station to which you can refer in both triggers. Record the count in one label and the current port /product in other labels.

Return 1 or 2 in the Pull from Port as needed (indicating the port)

Return 0 or 1 in the pull Requirement after testing the product of the triggering item. (1 accept, 0 reject).

Take a look at these two then adapt them to suit your case:
