Updating Kinematic

Hello,

For a project I'm working with the BasicConveyor. The system I'm trying to make is a correction system to gif parcels the same distance. I'm trying to use the code from the PLC to make test a number of situations. The PLC code is executed every 10 ms. So I'm using a senddelayedmessage to simulate the same, so the same calculations can be made. That’s all working.


After the package has come on to the BasisConveyor there is a moment that the kinematics of the package need to change. For example: the velocity change halfway. This is not always the same point so a dicisionpoint is not possible.





Question:

Is there a possibility to update the values of the kinematics in some way? and changes events in the event list?


I tried using addkinematics. This is visually what I want. Accept the package leaves the conveyor at the time it is calculated to leave the conveyor. I can see that the is no change in the event list when addkinematics is executed.

I have created a simple model to explain the situation. If the parcel turns red the kinimatics also change. A dicisionpoint is not possible. Only in this model is the point of change is at point 5.

Thanks.

First I think this is not question about Updating Kinematic ,I can help you.but, I donot know what exact you want to do .but I alter some code in your model,I think this model is what you want to do .
if it is not what you want to need,please tell me.
in addition,I do not know where are you come from? please tell us

Hello,

I'm from the Netherlands and doing an internship at a company that works a lot with conveyor belts. The company works for some time with Flexsim.

I'll explain a little more about the system I’m trying to simulate.

To predict what the subsystem does, I’m making a simulation. The purpose of the subsystem to gif packages the optimum spacing. See figure "naamloos". Before packages go on the system the distance between the first two is too small. After that, packets have a good spacing.

The system consists of three short conveyor that can accelerate and decelerate separately. This gives a different speed packages and the position relative to each other better. (see picture).

In the picture "naamloos2” the model is shown that I now have made. As a part turns green, the track accelerates to high speed. If it turns red, it decelerate to low speed. (Nominal = 1, high = 1.37, low = 0.75)

In illustration "untitled", second window, it is seen how the packages go over the system. When a packet has obtain the correction the speed needs to be brought back to low speed. (the kinematics needs to be updated). This could be at any position on the system.

It is also important that the photo cell sees the packets.

Hello Frank,

If I take a look at the pictures you posted, there are 4 photoeyes with a fixed location. Do you have to decide on each of these photocells if the speed of the conveyor is set to high speed, normal speed or low speed, depending on the time the last box left the conveyor?
If so you can decide at each photoeye what the speed has to be. You can use a normal conveyor and the changeconveyorspeed command to change the speed of the conveyor. For the photoeye you have an option 'handle each photoeye differently' that let's you decide what to do at each photoeye.

I hope this will help you solve your problem.

LINWEIXU, you model gave me a idea. I tried it with the function Addkinematics but didnt manage to make it work the way I wanted.

Esther thanks for the advise, but a normal conveyer was not really an option because that is not precise enoughon .

I ended with a BasicFR where I move the items a bit every 10 ms. And with the drawcube() comado's it seems quite nice.

LINWEIXU, Esther, thanks for the help.


Also thank to everyone in the community. I have read many threads with problems that I encountered, so everyone has helped me.
