Conveyor Name_LostProduction [Percentage]—Returns the lost production of the
conveyor (0-100%). The initial value of this variable can be specified in the Loss dialog of
the conveyor.

Conveyor Name_NomRunSpeed [Units/Min]—Returns the nominal run speed of the
conveyor. The nominal run speed is calculated from the nominal velocity, width, and unit
density entered in the module dialog (i.e., nominal velocity * width * unit density).

Conveyor Name_BaseNomRunSpeed [Units/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the nominal run
speed of the conveyor. The nominal run speed is calculated from the nominal velocity,
width, and unit density entered in the module dialog (i.e., nominal velocity * width * unit
density).

Conveyor Name_NumFailures [Integer>=0]—Returns the number of failures that have
occurred at the conveyor.

Conveyor Name_NumScheduledStops [Integer>=0]—Returns the number of scheduled
stops that have occurred at the conveyor.

Conveyor Name_OutputRate [Units/Min]—Returns the current total output rate of units
off of the conveyor, including conveyor loss.

Conveyor Name_BaseOutputRate [Units/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the current total
output rate of units off of the conveyor, including conveyor loss.

Conveyor Name_Product [Product Name (Symbol number of picture)]—Returns the last
product type that has been placed on the front of the conveyor.

Conveyor Name_RunSpeed [Units/Min]—Returns the current run speed of the conveyor.
The run speed is calculated from the nominal run speed and the speed factor (i.e., nominal
run speed * speed factor).

Conveyor Name_BaseRunSpeed [Units/BaseTimeUnit]—Returns the current run speed of
the conveyor. The run speed is calculated from the nominal run speed and the speed factor
(i.e., nominal run speed * speed factor).

Conveyor Name_SpeedFactor [Real>=0]—Returns the current speed factor of the
conveyor.

Conveyor Name_Starved [Yes(1)/No(0)]—Returns whether the conveyor is currently
starved. A conveyor is considered starved if its speed factor is greater than zero and the
output rate of the upstream module equals zero.

Conveyor Name_State [Fast(-1)/Working(3)/Slow(4)/Blocked(0)/Failed(1)/Stopped(5)]—
Returns the current state of the conveyor. The six states are exclusive (i.e., the conveyor
can only be in one of these states at any given time). A conveyor is in the Fast state if its
speed factor is greater than 1. A conveyor is in the Working state if its speed factor is
equal to 1. A conveyor is in the Slow state if its speed factor is less than 1 and non-zero. A
