Elevator within Process Flow

[PatrickG_Exaron]

Hi there,

I have a question about using an elevator or rathor a servo movement to move around process nodes.

The grey area is my floor 1 at an hight of 8m. The products/boxes in the middle need to go up, get unloaded by the small red forklift. This forklift afterwards is loading up the “elevator” at the top again and these products should go down then.
I tried to solve this with a process node on my “elevator” which is moved by a servo. I set the flow In resource at the bottom and the flow out resource location at the top what worked fine. But when I want to change these location during the simulation nothing hapens. The resources seem to be stuck with the location setting from the start.
Is there a way to change the flow in and flow out resource location during simulation? Or how would you solve such a materialflow?

Thanks a lot in advance!

All the best,
Patrick

If your process is attached to the servo, you should keep the FlowIn ans FlowOut frames on the same level. After the products have been transported on the lift, be sure the servo is completly up before beginning the TransportOut (if you’re using one of the Signal Positioner, they usually have a “DoneSignal” you can use).
