How do I get the distance along the conveyor in code?

Hi,

I would want to get the distance along conveyor value of a conveyor station using FlexScript. How do I get it?

I managed to set the value using the example in the forum, but I cannot figure out how to do it if I only want to get the value instead of setting it.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Axel

Hi Axel Kohonen,

You have to look at the conveyor points node in the variables node of the conveyor.

In the conveyor points node, access the distancealong node value like this.

double  Distance = model().find("Conveyor1>variables/conveyorPoints/2/distAlong").value;

Regards,
