ParallelStation

The ParallelStation has several stations for processing mobile objects (MUs) in parallel at the same time. The built-in properties of the ParallelStation are the same as those of a Station. The only difference is that the ParallelStation has several processing stations as opposed to the single processing station of the Station.

When you do not enter a special entrance control, the ParallelStation places an incoming part onto a random station. A set-up time always applies, when a part has a different name than the part it processed before, i.e., its predecessor. Plant Simulation always moves the part as a whole not continually, i.e., as soon as its front is located on the ParallelStation, the entire part is located on it.

To add the ParallelStation to your simulation model, click Manage Class Library > Basic Objects > MaterialFlow > ParallelStation on the Home ribbon tab.
