Default Operator Behavior Problem

I have a working carousel model that is a processor with a queue in front and a queue behind. I have a global variable to count the number in the 2 queues. When it reaches its maxcapacity (another global variable) i have the input port on the in queue closed until another part leaves the output.

It works great until you have an operator connected to it. He ignores the coding and just fills the queue until it reaches its max.

However he behaves properly if the in queue is connected to a source and not a queue....

If it is from a queue he ignores the closed ports and keeps loading.

Please help!!! I need to have this work with a queue in front of the in queue.

thanks,

(included model) - to see the model not work and the operator not listen, copy coding from the source into a queue in between the source and the in-queue to the processor.

Hello Joseph,

compare your MaxCapacity with the sum of the Raw variable and the object variable nroftransportsout.

Flexsim takes the already dispatched tasksequences to transport the items into account.

If you don't want to check the nroftransportsout you can put a queue with a maximum content of 1 after your output queue.

Jörg
