Flow Chart
| Tip |
|---|
The Plant Agent controls Post Crusher movements, that are not covered by Destination rules, but drawn manually in the Flow Chart step. |
...
Transactions performed by the PlantAgent are controlled by the optimization rules in the Calendar.
...
This sort of control is optional. If not controlled in the Calendar, it will default to the upstream or downstream site items rates.

In the example below, when reducing the PlantAgent’s max rate to 1000wt/h vs 5000wt/h Crusher’s rate, it creates bottleneck at the Crusher downstream since the Stockpile is getting filled faster than can be reclaimed to feed the Crusher:  | ||
It causes reduction of the material being fed to the Crusher upstream to allow for the Stockpile reclaiming at the reduced rate:  | ||
In the Destinations tab it is also visible that the stockpile is being built faster than could be reclaimed:  |
