Hello Manoj,

would you be so kind to provide a small model with your question. I can't find the combiner or its behaviour you mentioned in your post. Thanks!

Hi jorg,
Please find the correct model. The problem is the third half filled pallet going out of combiner248 is not being carried out by transporter.

Hello Manoj,

the pallet is moved by the command moveobject by the OnMessage-Trigger of Queue1. That is happening before. But then the tasksequences are already dispatched and it looks like the Taskexecuters transports the pallets. The pallets are already in the temporary staging area (queue) received and the statistic is up to date. They switch back to the taskexecuter at the moment the task "fixed resource load" is executed. Then the taskexecuter transports each of them to the staging area back again.
What you see at your third loaded pallet, is the execution of the moveobject command. But there isn't a tasksequence for the taskexecuter to work on.

Hello Manoj,

Where can I find the problem of the two left flowitems in your first or second model?

Hi Jorg,
Please find the model where second itemtype is supplied from source, 12 flow item are given out. The combiner component list is given 5 so first two sets of full pallet goes out and last two flow items wait for next batch to come. But what is required is that last flowitems should go out of combiner as half filled pallet. how can i dynamically update the combiner component list for each itemtype.

Hello Manoj,

the following code changes the target quantity executed in the OnExit-Trigger of a combiner for the next packing.

Code:
//Change component list to 2 
treenode componentlist = getvarnode(current,"componentlist");
int componentport = 1;// Input from Port 2
int TargetQuantity = 2;// New Component Target Quantity is 2
settablenum(componentlist,componentport,1,TargetQuantity);
setvarnum(current,"targetcomponentsum",TargetQuantity);
You must decide, when the following pallet won't get 5 items to pack. Or better you have to change the Target Quantity whenever the expected packing Quantity changes.
I haven't tested this code at an OnEntry-Trigger.

Jörg
