AGV_AMR_IF
AGV / AMR station handoff: calls a vehicle from the fleet manager, proves the vehicle that docked is the vehicle assigned, and permits the transfer.
When to use it
Use AGV_AMR_IF when a conveyor, lift or roller station hands loads to or takes loads from an AGV/AMR fleet through a fleet manager (VDA 5050 or similar), and the station PLC must call a vehicle, wait for it, run the transfer and release it.
