There are many modifications that can be made to different parts of the conveyor after it has been built. The conveyor is split into several SUBCNVs and automatically named based on the customer's naming rules. Each SUBCNV has a PURP attribute automatically set on creation as follows:
|
Description |
PURP Attribute |
Example Name |
|
Carry Belts |
CCAR |
/CV_0001/BELT/CARRY |
|
Head Pulley Belts |
CHEA |
/CV_0001/BELT/HEAD |
|
To Take-up Belts |
CTOT |
/CV_0001/BELT/TOTAKEUP |
|
Take-up Belts |
CTAK |
/CV_0001/BELT/TAKEUP |
|
From Take-up Belts |
CFRT |
/CV_0001/BELT/FROMTOTAKEUP |
|
Tail Pulley Belts |
CTAI |
/CV_0001/BELT/TAIL |
Each belt is also numbered in sequence. The user should not change the purposes of the SUBCNV elements or the number attribute of the GENSEC that represents the belt, as the application relies on these settings to know which belts are to be modified.
The complete belt is represented by a number of GENSECs from the start of the carry belt to the tail pulley belts. Each one has a POSS (Start Position) at the beginning of the belt section, and a POSE (End Position) at the end of the belt section.
Note:
There is one important exception to this. When transitioning at the start from flat
to a trough or V belt, the POSS and POSE are swapped so that the transition piece
is correctly represented.
