Help needed with combiner

I am making a simulation of a production. There are 2 production machines (i used the fluidtoitem). They are named "naprava 1-2" in my simulation... What i would like to do: each machine should produce 1 item type (all together two different item types), they move across the conveyor to a queue and are then processed by a combiner. the combiner should put together 40 items of itemtype 1 and 40 of itemtype 2 on a pallet. After the next queue the transporter should move them to each of the 2 racks (1 rack is for itemtype 1 and the other for itemtyp 2). The problem is that the combiner components list is not showing all the items i would like to combine....

P.s. I would also like to make the production adjusted like this: Each Fluidtoitem production machine should produce 3 items at a time and have some time in between.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

Hi Dejan,

I just found some mistakes in your model.

1. The Send to Port option of Conveyor6 is By Expression in your model. It should be First Available.

2. You have only single input port from Queue 23 to the two Combiners (total 2 input ports to a Combiner).
According to your requirement, you need 3 input ports. Since you have only single Queue23 feeding both combiners. There should be two input ports from the Queue23.So total three input ports to a Combiner. Along with that, under the flow tab of the Combiners the pull strategy pull requirement" Item byPort" should have two cases port 2 and port 3.

3. The last question of fluidtoitem object is not clear to me.


I hope, I have answered your question.If not ignore this post.

Hi,
an previous object to a combiner can have more output port connections to a combiner. Generally this works for all object connections. Only network nodes don't work this way. That is a method to build a distribution of products at the output without depending on own source code, too
