Configure the OverHeadConveyor as a process-driven transfer path. The available evidence defines two required operations: one process requests and takes a product from the lower conveyor, and a second process removes the product from the overhead conveyor.
Process-Modelling Architecture
Place the pickup and removal behavior in Process Modelling rather than Works. Model each material-transfer direction as a separate process so the request, handoff, and destination remain explicit.
The evidence does not identify command names, process identifiers, sensors, transfer positions, or release conditions. Select those elements from the existing project configuration; do not assume unsupported block names or settings.
Configure the Two Transfer Processes
- Taking process: Add a process for the overhead conveyor that requests a product and transfers it from the conveyor below to the overhead conveyor.
- Removal process: Add a separate process that removes the product from the overhead conveyor at the required destination.
Keep the two responsibilities separate. The taking process establishes entry to the overhead conveyor, while the removal process completes the material flow and makes the carrier path available for subsequent products.
Verify the Material Flow
Run the model and confirm the sequence at both boundaries: a request initiates pickup from the lower conveyor, the product becomes associated with the overhead conveyor, and the removal process releases it at the destination. If pickup works but the product remains overhead, inspect the removal process. If no pickup occurs, inspect the request and taking process.
Also verify that each product transfers once and follows the intended order. The evidence provides no timing, capacity, or synchronization values, so validate those requirements against the actual project rather than entering assumed values.
FAQ
How do I make OverHeadConveyor pick products from a conveyor below?
Add a Process Modelling process that requests the product and takes it from the lower conveyor to the overhead conveyor.
Does OverHeadConveyor need a separate unloading process?
Yes. Configure a second process to remove products from the overhead conveyor at the destination.
Why does a product remain on the OverHeadConveyor?
Check that the separate removal process exists and executes after transport. The taking process handles entry; it does not replace the required removal process.
