Hi,
Is there a way to not unload the buffer until it is full? Or after a given time?
It seems like the buffer unloads as soon as a product enters, but I would like it to keep loading until it is full.
Could you use an assembly instead? Just TransportIn parts until the assembly is full and then TransportOut parts out again. You can then also use the assembly step and slot index organization to define sequence of transport or have all parts be available for random access
Hi @lyk
You could use conditions to control when the next process after a buffer is activated.
At least the Tome Milling Layout in the eCatalog has an example of how this can be done.
Hi @Este,
Thank you for your help!
How can I set up a buffer so that it only refills (from another buffer) when it has X amount of parts remaining?
Use WaitPropertyCondition before TransportIn.
Hello @juhahai
Thank you for your answer, could you provide me with an example?
I’m unable to achive the outcome that I want…
The crane transfers coils to the shuttle only, when the property condition is met. In this case the property is from the Statistics. You can use your own properties as well, and then you don’t have think about the interval of Statistics.
