2222.fsmi would like to stimulate the airplane carrying cargo in real life, so the airplane should be fly in a fixed time schedule, but the airplane in my program is transporting according to the cargo's loading or entering. Thus, i want to know how to set the plane leave in a regular time interval.
The attached model shows an example of how this could be done. Two tokens (one for each plane) loop in a Process Flow. A delay activity stops them until the next trip is due (every 1800s currently). The planes then load as many items as they can up to their capacity and move them to the sinks.
References are solely done through port connections. Note that the queues are set to not release items in their Send to Port field.
thanks for reply, but i'd like to know how to change the delay at the beginning, seems like there is a quite long waiting time at the beginning of the 1st trip.
You can either change the initial value of the "NextTripTime" label to be smaller.
Or you can change the Process Flow and create a new token for each trip in a schedule or date-time source.
