This is probably a simple solution, but I'm having trouble getting my processor to process different "lots" at different speeds. I have one processor that will have 7 flow items pass through it at the process times of 700, 700, 700, 700, 1100, 1100, 1500. I enter theses times under each case value but it doesn't work. What an I missing? Thanks!
What are you using for your Case Function? I'm assuming you want the process time to sequentially use those times and then start over on the 8th, right? In that case set the Case Function to be:
(getinput(current)-1) % 7 + 1
Here's an example that has the process time be really fast for 4 flowitems then slow for the next 3, then back to fast for the next 4, etc.
@matthewgillispie Thank you very much. What if I wanted to "snake" the times. Such as after the 1500 time, it reverses order? is that possible?
Yes, just add more cases and then adjust the mod value, i.e change % 7 to % n, where n is the number of cases.
