A request for help in setting up a mobile robot.

Process Modeling

Hello VC users. I’m writing to ask you guys for help.

I am currently using VC program version 4.9.

First of all, let me explain the whole process that I have to make.

① : After the item passes through conveyor 1, the item that has changed shape through [Facility A] falls on conveyor 2 and into box 4

② : During the process ①, items are accumulated on conveyor 1, and when the number of items accumulated becomes 3, [mobile robot] moves and moves to the side of conveyor 1

③ : If the robot on [Facility A] side puts 3 items on top of the ‘Mobile Robot’, [Mobile Robot] moves to [Facility B] side

④ : (The ‘mobile robot’ waits until the work of the three objects on top is gone) The robot on the [Facility B] side moves and falls on the [Facility B] → Conveyor No. 3 → The process of falling on the box No. 5

⑤ : If [mobile robot] is all gone, [mobile robot] goes back to its place, and if 3 items are piled up on conveyor 1, repeat steps ②~④

You have to make the courses ① to ⑤ described above, but only the courses ① have been made and are currently working.

At this point, I would like to ask you for help with setting the robot’s movements in the course ②.

If you look at the ‘Process Flow Editor’ screen, I think I set it the right way, but why isn’t the [mobile robot] moving?

Did I set the wrong settings for [mobile robot] or ‘Path Way’?

I ask for your help so that I can make it for the course ②.

There is also an attached file, so I would appreciate it if you could refer to it and explain it.

Also, if you let me know the VC Academy link regarding the basic setting of [mobile robot], I will refer to it.

Because AMR needs another product, you could use Batch mode, feed these 2 products alternately.

“idkfa”, Thank you for your help.
I have two more additional questions.

  1. Is there a way to put three items in a mobile robot?
    As it stands now, after putting one item in a mobile robot, it moves right away,
    so I’m asking because No.1 conveyor is stopped before putting all three items in it.

  2. As you told me, I changed the mode of ‘Feeder’ to Batch.
    Is it best to change the mode of ‘Feeder’ to solve the 5 processes I mentioned?

I will also attach the revised file as you informed me.
I would appreciate it if you could give me an additional answer.

I found a way to modify ‘Feeder’ mode from the existing ‘Single’ mode without changing it to ‘Batch’. I share it.
I modified the ‘PROCESS Tab - Process Flow Editor’ screen as shown in the picture below.

When connected to ‘Flow Group#2’, ‘Moblie Robot’ does not move because the recognized object is different. I also share a picture of ‘Process Flow Editor’ configuration and a picture of ‘Statement’ configuration of ‘Process#1’.
