jzhou Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is there anyone who have faced the similar situation. There is a kind of roller conveyor, on which the entity can have bi-direction. Normally, it will move forward, but once there is a empty space detected, the control system will move the conveyor back to fill the empty space...that means, it will not allow empty space on the conveyor , as entity are coming onto the conveyor not continuously... Is there a workaround for this or already a enhancement for the existing conveyors? In this situation, we need to use conveyor object,as we have to define cells on the conveyor.so could not use a bidirectional path or timepath.... Any help are appreciated...thanks.

If you need more detail than that, I would probably create a custom object with the entities moved exactly how and where you want them using Free Space.

jzhou Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Now I used a server with multiple capacity to be a rough-cut simulation.... Just curious about your FREE SPACE approach, can you provide a bit more details ??? After subclassing CONVEYOR, there is a property called TYPE which can allow bi-directional conveyor, but still not make it work successfully,, trying ..............
