Control Area
Overview and Key Concepts
A control area is an object that enforces mutual exclusion on one or more paths in the AGV network.
Events
For information on events, see the Event Listening page.
The control area has the following events:
On Allocated
This event is fired when the control area is allocated by an AGV.
It has the following parameters:
| Event Parameter | Type | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| AGV | Object | The task executer that allocated the control area. |
On Deallocated
This event is fired when the control area is deallocated by an AGV.
It has the following parameters:
| Event Parameter | Type | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| AGV | Object | The task executer that deallocated the control area. |
On Allocation Count Change
This event is fired both when an AGV allocates the control area, and when it deallocates the control area.
This event has no parameters.
States
The control area does not implement any states.
Statistics
The control area tracks the same statistics as the control point.
Properties
Control areas do not have a traditional properties window. Instead, you edit their properties through the Quick Properties window.
Max Allocations
The maximum number of AGVs that can simultaneously claim the control area.
Deallocation Type
The control area's assigned deallocation type.
