STATION |
Allows the marking in the model for a location to which entities can be directed for processing. |
ROUTE |
Facilitates the movement between stations with a time delay. |
ENTER |
Represents STATION, DELAY, and/or EXIT/FREE |
LEAVE |
Represents ROUTE or TRANSPORT or CONVEY with DELAY option |
PICKSTATION |
Allows entity to decide on its next station based on conditions. |
ACCESS |
Requests space on a conveyor. Entity waits if no space is available. |
CONVEY |
After obtaining space on a conveyor, causes the entity to be conveyed to its destination station. |
EXIT |
Releases space on a conveyor |
START |
Causes a stopped conveyor to start transferring entities. |
STOP |
Causes a conveyor to stop transferring entities. |
ALLOCATE |
Assigns entity a transporter without moving the transporter, entity controls transporter and may wait in queue. |
MOVE |
Moves an allocated transporter to a station destination. |
REQUEST |
Asks transporter for pick up, entity waits until transporter is allocated, and transporter moves to pick up location. |
TRANSPORT |
Same as REQUEST followed by MOVE to the entities desired location. |
FREE |
Causes the entity to release an allocated transporter. |
HALT |
Changes the state of the transporter to inactive. |
ACTIVATE |
Changes the state of the transporter to active. |
SEQUENCE |
Allows pre-specified routes of stations to be defined and attributes to be assigned when entities are transferred. |
CONVEYOR |
Defines a conveyor as a list of segments and provides the velocity and space characteristics of the conveyor. |
SEGMENT |
Defines the distance between two stations as a segment on a conveyor. |
TRANSPORTER |
Defines a mobile resource and its characteristics, capable of free path or guided path movement. |
DISTANCE |
Defines the from-to distances between stations for free path transporters. |
NETWORK |
Defines a set of transporter links between intersections that represents a guided path network for transporters. |
NETWORKLINK |
Defines the characteristics of a space constraining path between intersections within guided path networks. |
ACTIVITY AREA |
Defines stations that are part of an area for the collection of aggregate statistics on the group of stations. |
