Define Request Group for a Decision Zone

You can define a request group when you must pull a part from decision zone.

  1. From the Programming section of the action bar, click Request Group Definition, then select a decision zone with the Operation mode set to Pull.

    Note: You can also request group definition for a pathway. In this case, the request groups already defined on the pathway are on the list.

  2. In the Create or Edit AGV Request Group dialog box that appears, select the pathway then click Add Group.
    When you select a pathway, the list of all the request groups you defined appears.
  3. Click Add Decision Zone to add decision zones to the group or Remove Decision Zone to remove them from the group in the Select Decision Zone(s) dialog box that appears.
  4. Click OK to validate.
    The Select Decision Zone(s) dialog box closes and the Create or Edit AGV Request Group dialog box appears.
  5. Specify the Starting Zone, Target Zones, Source Zones, and other options in the dialog box.
    The target decision zones in the request group signify the decision zones to pull parts from to satisfy a request in the start zone.
  6. Click Edit Group to edit a request group and Remove Group(s) to delete a request group.
  7. Click Assign Pool to assign a resource pool and Unassign Pool to unassign a resource pool.
  8. Click OK.
    You have requested group definition and pulled a part from the decision zone. Whenever you create a request on the resource connected to a decision zone operating on Pull mode, the request group fulfills the part request on the connected resource during simulation.
