Station-based Carrier Logging

Overview

For logging the movements of the carriers for specific stations, two steps are required:

  1. General activation of the setting/resetting mechanism for stations.

  2. Specification for which station the Application Logger entries will be set or reset.

The function block FB_CoreStation of the MulticarrierStation library provides two properties required for the logging of the carrier movement on station basis:

  • xActivateAPLEntriesForMovedCarriers
