Scripting Introduction

Use scripts to

• Calculate variables like energy or other KPIs based on some simulation events.
• Create custom divert rules
• Customize the behaviour of equipments
• Create, move, delete products
• Schedule events

For example, Energy can be calculated based on the Running property of a conveyor and the number of products on the conveyor at any time.

Current, a single script can be loaded when the Simulation starts. To edit the script, open the Project Explorer > double-click on Script.

The Sym3 Script Engine uses JavaScript. For a simple reference to JavaScript, see JavaScript Tutorial.

The compile error or an execution error can be displayed in Message Viewer

Sample Projects:

• Custom divert Rule and Product info display on billboard
• Moving, creating, deleting products
• Calculate In System Time for specific products
