Can someone help me explain the difference between the two modes of the “Pathway Capacity Group” component? Additionally, I have a question that I need help with. In a very complex layout, I need to independently limit the capacity of dozens of area paths. Do I need a “Pathway Capacity Group” component for each control area? Can a ‘Pathway Capacity Group’ achieve independent control over multiple regions?
hi,
The attached layout clearly shows the difference between these two options. In the mode with ‘All areas in the whole group must have capacity’, the mobile robot cannot proceed because there is already a mobile robot moving within the pathway group—even though the path to its destination has nothing to do with the occupied pathway in that group.
It’s different with the option using ‘Areas on the incoming resource route must have capacity’: if a mobile robot is already moving within the pathway group, the new mobile robot can still proceed, as long as the other robot is not currently on one of the pathways that are part of its route.
