How to reduce AGV battery with commands?

[ FlexSim 21.2.4 ]

I have AGVs with companion frames that require power to them for certain operations. The AGVs will power a piece of conveyor and some doors on the companion frames. Is it possible to write a code snippet or add in some logic for specific battery usage per task? For example: Doors opening on companion frame while the AGV is idle = 15 amps.

Hi @Cody F,

You could probably do something like this using the methods on the AGV class (see FlexScript Class - AGV (flexsim.com)). You might also be able to use the "Load Types" for the AGV Network, though those usually are used only while the AGV is travelling, not while it is idle. But it could be worth looking into: AGV Types (flexsim.com).

I hope this is helpful! Let us know if you have further questions!
