Machine Transformer
This element represents a machine that transforms items from an input conveyor to items on an output conveyor.
This element must be used with 2D scene context.

| parameter | editable via "Parameter" tab | updatable via a controller | description | default unit | type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-axis position | ✔️ | ✔️ | Position of the element on the X-axis. | meter | Decimal number |
| Y-axis position | ✔️ | ✔️ | Position of the element on the Y-axis. | meter | Decimal number |
| iconX | ✔️ | ❌ | Relative position of the icon, from the origin of the attache element, on the X-axis. | meter | Decimal number |
| iconY | ✔️ | ❌ | Relative position of the icon, from the origin of the attache element, on the Y-axis. | meter | Decimal number |
| Visibility | ✔️ | ✔️ | This parameter allows you to choose if you want the element to be visible or not on the scene during the execution of the scenario. If the item is part of a group, it can inherit the value of that group. | - | Enumeration (visible, hidden, inherit) |
| Threshold zoom out | ✔️ | ❌ | Zoom level from which its representation on the scene is no longer modified. | % | Decimal number |
| Creation time interval | ✔️ | ✔️ | Time to transform input items into output items | second | Decimal number |
| State | ✔️ | ✔️ | State of the machine | - | Enumeration (on, off) |
| Properties | ✔️ | ❌ | Set the input and output conveyors of the machine transformer | - | List of input conveyors |
Properties
Input Properties
In the Input Properties tab, you can select the Functional Conveyor to associate with the input and define the number of elements required to generate an output.
Click on 
to add new input.
Click on 
to delete the desired input.
Output Properties
In the Output Properties tab, you can also select the Functional Conveyor to associate with the output and define the number of elements to be generated based on the number of input elements defined. You can also specify a radius and a color for the output elements.
Click on to add new output.
Click on to delete the desired output.
Assembly mode
The Assembly Mode defines how outputs are generated based on the expected number of input elements. When enabled, the system waits until all inputs have reached their defined number of elements before producing an output. When disabled, an output can be generated as soon as at least one input has reached its defined number of elements, without waiting for the others.
