When we using AGV process flow in model should we have to connect AGV and Fixed resource with S-connect or not?
AGV connection with fixed resource when using AGV process flow.
FlexSim 18.0.10
Fundamentally, S-connects are only connections that are created for ease of reference. That is to say, as long as you can get the reference of an entity in a certain way, you don't need to establish an S-connect .
In fact, there are many ways to get entity references in PF.
If you're talking about the AGV process flow template then there is no requirement to center connect (S connect) the AGVs with any of the fixed resources. If you're building your own custom AGV model there is also no requirement to center connect the AGVs. Fixed resource objects should be connected to AGV control points where the AGV will move to pickup or drop off an item.
If your model logic is solely being done in process flow, then there isn't much need for center connections in an AGV model like the template shows. They're really just going to give you references from the AGVs to other objects. But since process flow tokens are able to easily store and use object references, it is more than likely simpler to not use center connections to get object references.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for valuable information. It helps to solve my problem. Thanks.
