AGV as shuttle strange behavior

SCHamoen — Mon, 01 May 2017 08:50:30 GMT

[ FlexSim 17.1.1 ]

We have some conveyors that have to send pallets to 1 conveyor and use a shuttle for that. We used the AGV module, connected everything the normal way and the exittransfers of the conveyors to control the shuttle. But with every movement it travels to the far ends of the track. We assume this is a bug?

(we actually also tested it in 17.1.2 but that can not be selected yet with the software versions)

@steven.hamoen

I made also the same model using the networkNode as ctrl-c copy it.

The networknode model behaviors normally without any strange. AGV module path behavior looks like some different from networknode.

@david.seo thanks, using the networknodes is also the way we solved it now, but I think with the AGV should also work so that is why we posted it here.

Steven,

Thanks, yes this is a bug. You can fix it by deleting the node MODEL:/Tools/Toolbox/AGVNetwork. It looks like there is path creation logic that looks for the AGV Network with the path MODEL:/?AGVNetwork, which finds the wrong node, so paths were being created in the wrong place. Delete that node and then "wiggle" the other paths to recreate the control point connections.
