I want to get a reference to the conveyor from a Station that is positioned on it.
The only reference I could find is the following:
getvarnode(Model.find("Station1"), "conveyorPoint").first.value.up.up.up;
Is there a easier reference I could use?
I am working with version 2019 but I am also interested on doing this in version 2023.
Thank you
Where are you trying to make the reference? On the Station objects themselves, there is a variable that references the Conveyor object in anything where you can open the code editor (Process Condition, Process Time, Triggers, etc.).
Also, an event-triggered source (or wait for event) activity in Process Flow, where a station is the Object, will have a way to assign the conveyor as a label on the token for most station events that you can listen to.
At the very least, you can use the On Reset trigger to set a label on the station that is a reference to the conveyor. You could then refer to that label later in the model run to get the conveyor reference.
And finally, while not a ton better, a slightly different way with code:
ownerobject(getvarnode(Model.find("Station1"), "conveyorPoint").first.value);
You can also use the conveyor property on the Conveyor.DecisionPoint class.

Model.find("Station1").as(Conveyor.DecisionPoint).conveyor
