I new in Flesim, I have a doubt,
1. After my processor I need Acumulate. (16 and 16 Items) and after I acumulate this all 16 items (Like a Batch) need to go to another processor.
My doubt is I need to use Queue, or Combiner? And how I can do this
If the 16 items will be processed one by one by the second processor use the queue otherwise use the combiner:
- the queue stores the items until they reach the amount of 16 then releases them
- the combiner puts all the items together and you can choose between
- pack: you need a pallet in input at the port 1 of the combiner, and specify you want 16 elements from the input port 2 (the processor)
- join: make two connections from the processor to the combiner and specify you want 15 items from the port 2; these 15 items will be destroyed and just the one coming from the input port 1 will be released to the second processor.
Tks, by yor help,
How Can I hold the queue until reach amount = 16? And after order that Operator transport this amount to combiner?
In the properties window of the Queue, check the Perform Batching check box and then put in 16 for the Target Batch Size. That way it will hold the flowitems in the queue until it has reached 16 and then it will release all of the 16 together.
