Location

Location-Specific System Function

The Location function returns the current Location's name-index number. This function is especially useful in macros and subroutines that vary depending on which Location's logic calls them.

Syntax

Location()

Examples

Attr1 = Location()

If Location() = 2 Then Wait 4 min

The following example displays the Truck Location's name-index number when an Entity enters it.

Remarks

By using a Location function with an If Then statement, the macro or subroutine can act differently depending on the Location that called it. Also, the same technique can be used to determine which Location is carrying out a process when All is used as the process Location.

Location is valid in Location downtimes, operation, move, arrival, shift, and break logic.
