Assign a global table depending on a label value

It´s possible to assign a concrete global table depending on a label value? For example, I have 5 types of pallets and each one has a configuration. In orden to mantain the specific order I want, I have created 5 diferent global tables that specify exactly the order layer by layes for each type. Now i want that a combiner at the moment the palet arrives, it automatically takes the specific table for taht type. Is that possible?

Hi Jon,

There's a predefined behavior that can be activated on the combiner's entry trigger called "Update Combiner Component List". This option works with one table that has multiple rows and columns; each row represents a component, and each column represents a type of pallet. That way, you can have multiple combining configurations inside one single table and the trigger itself chooses which column to use based on a pallet label of your choosing.

I have developed two dummy models, one that behaves exactly like that, and one that uses multiple tables, in case for whatever reason you specifically need them to be separated. I attach them both here: 24.1 Combiner_SingleTable.fsm24.1 Combiner_MultipleTables.fsm

I hope it helps!
