Hi @ORNELLA S

I'm not sure what you mean by the carrier. Is it the TransporterAlaine?

Thanks!

I don't understand what you want to happen. Exactly what do you want TransporterAlaine to do? And when (which of the photo eyes)? Need a few more details about what your model is supposed to do.

Thanks.

@Jeff Nordgren

I want that the transporter Alaine begin to travel with palets from queue when the photo eye P5 is have the state " on block" and then he stops to travel when the photo eye P5 have the state "on clear" . Thanks you in advance !

Here is what I would suggest:

  • in Queue1, trigger OnReset: add a pickoption Close and Open Ports to close the output ports of Queue1
  • create a logic in Process Flow with a block of 5 activities:
    • Event-Triggered Source: sample PE5 OnBlock
    • Custom Code: add a pickoption in Control > Close and Open Ports to open the output ports of Queue1
    • Wait for Event: sample PE5 OnClear
    • Custom Code: add a pickoption in Control > Close and Open Ports to close the output ports of Queue1
    • Sink: end of logic

I also advise you to define a Block Time greater than zero on PE5 if you want to fire On Block only when a pallet is stopped in front of PE5.
