Hi,
is there a way to add DP (on arrival - enter restricted area - max count : 100) to the modeling, and then it works because the max value changes for each time schedule I want? When it took a break in the middle of the simulation, I changed the max value from 100 to 106 and it didn't apply and it stopped in that DP.
Hello @kimsh,
You could implement changing the value in process flow, but in my case I am just using a script window.
In the first case, I use a global variable.
In this other case, I use a label on the DP.
One thing to note, it's when an item leaves the restricted area that the new max content is observed. So just changing the max content value will not immediately release more items. If you need this, please let me know and I have an idea of sending a message to the DP to release item when the max content is changed and the current content is less than the new max content.
Oh, can you tell me if you have a good way? To briefly explain what I want, it looks like DP1(ENTER AREA MAX50) is installed at the entrance of the 200 meter conveyor and DP2(EXIT AREA) is installed at the end of the conveyor. And, there is a break time at the end of the conveyor every specific time. If the 50 pieces I set are full thanks to the break time, they can no longer be put in the line. This is a normal situation. But!!! Here I need a way to change DP1 from 50 to 60 according to the schedule I set separately (06:00~10:00=50 pieces / 10:00~14:00=60 pieces~~~~~~). Is there any way?
Hello @kimsh,
I just used a schedule source in process flow to set the values.
dp-restricted-area-schedule.fsm
good!!! Did act well! but,
I have a problem.
I applied data at source edit table
06:00~22:00 : 106
05:00~06:00 : 300
and time table 22:00~06:00 down behavior(just DP2).
In order for DP1 to be applied with 300 data, it seems that the item needs to pass through DP2 once to be updated. I want to change from 106 to 300 from 5 o'clock and fill it up in advance before DP2 is activated at 6 o'clock. Is there any way to improve this?
