The scheduler operation Scheduler_Rob1 is responsible for the execution of Robot1 robotic operations,
while the scheduler operation Scheduler_Rob2 is responsible for the execution of Robot2 robotic operations.
The operations (paths) called by the schedulers appear in the regular Gantt structure. The links between them
imply the material flow between them.
Note: A Called Path operation can be connected to either another Called Path or to another regular operation
(that is not executed by a Call Path command).
It is the users responsibility to block running these paths in the regular fashion (by setting their transition
condition to False) and ensure that the operations are executed only through Call Path commands.
Note: When activating the segmentizer tool to divide robotic operations into multiple segments, the transition
condition that was set on the original operation should now be set as the transition condition for the last
segment.
The above figure shows that part p1 is produced by Rob1Op1 (p1 is included in the Rob1Op1 Parts-toProduce list). The part is moved to the operation succeeding Rob1Op1. This is also a Called Path and the part
is then moved to an external operation - a flow operation not controlled by the calling operation. The external
operation uses the part and moves it to Rob2Op1 which is also a Called Path (of another robot). The result
is that Rob2Op1 received the part from its own preceding operation.
In this scenario, the real material flow structure of the Called Path is defined in the regular Gantt view, while its
execution logic is defined in the OLP commands of the calling operations.
The following example demonstrates a more complex scenario:
In this scenario, Scheduler_Rob1 and Scheduler_Rob2 are linked and create double structures of material
flow (Called Paths and the schedulers). All the robotic operations consume parts p1 and p2. The Called
Paths receive p2 from their calling operation (the scheduler operations). p2 does not move along the links
(as p1 does), rather, the Called Path borrows p2 from the calling operation for the duration of path
execution only. Thus, p2 is lent to Rob1Op1, then borrowed by Scheduler_Rob1 for Rob1Op2, moves to
Scheduler_Rob2 (because of the link between Scheduler_Rob1 to Scheduler_Rob2), and is then lent again to
the paths. Additionally, p1 (the part that was produced by Rob1Op1) does not move to Scheduler_Rob2 and its
succeeding operation.
The scenario described above can be implemented even if each scheduler operation belongs to a different
compound operation. There can be no links between Rob1 operations and Rob2 operations (because they
belong to different compounds). Refer to the following figure:
In this scenario, weld_op starts welding part p. When it reaches via1, there are two conditioned Call Path
commands according to the current state, weld_x and/or weld_y. One of these is called and it continues
welding other sections of the same part p. After this, weld_op continues to its next weld points. In that case,
the user may want to block the Called Paths from participating regularly in the material flow (as illustrated
above). The operations weld_x and weld_y that require part p, borrow it from weld_op (the calling
operation).
