Palletizer Name_NomRunSpeed [Layers/Min]—Returns the nominal run speed of the
palletizer as entered in the module dialog box.
Palletizer Name_BaseNomRunSpeed [Layers/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the nominal run
speed of the palletizer as entered in the module dialog.
Palletizer Name_NumChangeovers [Integer>=0]—Returns the number of changeovers
that have occurred at the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_NumFailures [Integer>=0]—Returns the number of failures that have
occurred at the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_NumScheduledStops [Integer>=0]—Returns the number of scheduled
stops that have occurred at the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_OutputRate [Units/Min]—Returns the current total output rate of units
out of the palletizer, including palletizer loss.
Palletizer Name_BaseOutputRate [Units/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the current total
output rate of units out of the palletizer, including palletizer loss.
Palletizer Name_PalletLevel [Layers]—Returns the number of layers on the current pallet
in the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_PalletsStored [Pallets]—Returns the number of pallets the palletizer has
placed into storage.
Palletizer Name_Product [Product Name (Symbol number of picture)]—Returns the last
product type that has been processed by the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_RunSpeed [Layers/Min]—Returns the current run speed of the palletizer.
The run speed is calculated from the nominal run speed and the speed factor (i.e., nominal
run speed * speed factor).
Palletizer Name_BaseRunSpeed [Layers/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the current run speed
of the palletizer. The run speed is calculated from the nominal run speed and the speed
factor (i.e., nominal run speed * speed factor).
Palletizer Name_SpeedFactor [Real>=0]—Returns the current speed factor of the
palletizer.
Palletizer Name_Starved [Yes(1)/No(0)]—Returns whether the palletizer is currently
starved. The starved variable behavior depends on the Palletizer Type. A palletizer is con-
sidered starved if its speed factor is greater than zero, and the output rate of the upstream
module equals zero. A depalletizer is considered starved if its speed factor is greater than
zero, it needs to retrieve a pallet from storage, and that storage is empty.
