Hi all, my name is Florian.
I am quiet new in Visual Components and now doing first steps in Process Modelling…
There is something i do not understand and hope someone can help me hereby…
If i use the Process Executor of a Process Node and want to assign a Variable of the Assembly I can do this by: “Assign Variable: ProductIn.MyVariable := 1” for Example.
Like This:
This works but only for the “ID” Variable.
If i try the same for the “IDx” Variable, i do not know how to get access to it.
Looking forward for some answer!
Thanks in advance
Shouldn’t use Component properties on Assembly Product Types because the assembly produce instances have a special “dummy” root component where the products in the assembly get attached to. Having such root component allows an assembly to exist while being empty.
The assembly root component has no geometry and thus has no use for assigning component properties, which are meant for customizing the visual appearance.
Okay, understand.
Thanks for the fast reply.
My “Problem”/wish is that i try to use this variables for routing Products through the system. When using the VC-Components like Conveyor- Diverter i can only get access to the Component Variables when sreting up Transport Rule…
IS there any change to have my “Routing” Variables connected to the Product Variables and use this for Routing with teh VC-Conveyor Components.
Not really. The proper way to route PM products is to use transport solutions or Product Types. TranportOut can send products to a transport node, which creates a transport solution for it. There is routing rules for transport solution, and another for Product type.
Hi there, just a quick Reply from my side for all who are interested into.
At least i found now a way for me how to handle this topics. First of all, you can add Values to the Component properties (as in Picture e.g. “_ID” or “_Route”).
For getting access on this value in a Transfer Conveyor (and this is so much easier than i thought), you simple name the Value of the Procuct in the Routing Rule of the Transfer, that’s it:
