I am creating a model of our racking solutions.
I need to move the material from one ground area to another area on the first floor, so I used an elevator.
My problem is that I need to interface forklift and elevator for combined operation.
Please tell me how to do the interface of two transporters.
Look at this model: forklift-and-elevator.fsm I used process flow to do it from the source's Transport Dispatcher trigger. The zone is used to avoid more than one token per time in the task sequence.
Dear Sir,
In this same model, i have another question.
In one of the area, transporter unloads the material and rotates 180 degree to come back through the network nodes. Since it is confined room, practically the transporter dont have any space to rotate there. I need to control the rotation of transporter and the transporter needs to come in reverse. after some distance it needs to rotate. Kindly tell how can i make this?
This is more difficult trough network nodes. You'll need to create your own Forklift starting from a Basic TE in order to control his offset movements. An alternative could be to use the AGV network instead of the network nodes.
Dear Balaji,
When the transporter unloads set the flipthreshhold variable value of the transporter to 0. So the transporter will return back in the reverse direction. When the transporter travels back to the necessary distance, change the flipthreshold variable value to 180 using the arrival trigger of a network node.
I hope this will help.
Regards,
Arun KR
