Default Combiner Target Quantity, Release of packed pallets

Hello everyone.

I've got a problem related to the combiner target quantity.

I'd like to know, how to stop the combiner and release a pallet (on message for example) without the combiner minding about the adjustet quantity.

Do you have any suggestions?

best regards,

Benjamin

Default

On the message trigger of the combiner try the following:

Code:
if (content(current)){
    setvarnum(current,"currentcomponentsum",getvarnum(current,"targetcomponentsum"));
    releaseitem(first(current));
}
which seems to behave correctly.
