Syntax

[entity,event,... out1,...] = resourceAcquired(obj,... storage,...entity,resources,tag,in1,...)

Description

[entity,event,... out1,...] = resourceAcquired(obj,... storage,...entity,resources,tag,in1,...) specifies event action for a discrete-event System object™ upon successful acquisition of a resource. Resource acquisition is successful only if all of the specified resources are acquired.

Input Arguments

expand all

Discrete-event System object.

Index of the storage element.

Entity that acquires the resource. Entity has these fields:

  • sys (MATLAB structure) consisting of:

    • id (double) — Entity ID

    • priority (double) — Entity priority

  • data — Entity data

An array of structures that specifies the resources that have been acquired.

Tag of the currently executing resource acquisition event.

First data input.

Output Arguments

expand all

Entity acquiring the resource.

Events to be scheduled. Use matlab.DiscreteEventSystem class methods to create events. Each event has these fields:

  • type (character vector) — Type of the event

  • delay (double) — Delay before the event

  • priority (double) — Priority of the event

  • storage (double) — Index of the storage element

  • tag (character vector) — Event tag

  • location (MATLAB structure) — Source or destination (see source)

First data output.

Examples

Suppose that an entity acquires resources successfully with a scheduled eventAcquireResource and the tag of this event is MyResourceAcquireEvent. Then this acquisition invokes the resourceAcquired method to forward entities to the output.

function [entity,events] = entry(obj, storage, entity, source)
  % On entry, acquire one resource of type Resource1.
  resRequest = obj.resourceSpecification('Resource1', 1);
  events = obj.eventAcquireResource(resRequest, 'MyResourceAcquireEvent');       
end
        
function [entity,events] = resourceAcquired(obj, storage,...  
                            entity, resources, tag)
  % After resource acquisition, forward the entity to the output.                     
  events = obj.eventForward('output', storage, 0.0);
end

This example shows how to use resource management methods to create a custom entity storage block in which entities acquire resources from specified Resource Pool blocks.

Suppose that you manage a facility that produces parts from two different materials, material 1 and material 2, to fulfill orders. After a part is produced, it is evaluated for quality assurance.

Two testing methods for quality control are:

  • Test 1 is used for parts that are produced from material 1.

  • Test 2 is used for parts that are produced from material 2

After the production phase, parts are tagged based on their material to apply the correct test.
