Create material loops

If the SFC contains a material-enabled step, create a material loop that allows the step to automatically rebind when a feed is not completed. Because material loops disable the ability to create complex recipe structures, add them after the SFC is set up with AND and OR
convergences
and
divergences
. For example, to create three material equipment phases in parallel, create the three parallel recipe phases first, and then add the material loop.
To create material loops:
  1. Using the
    Selection
    Tool
    FTB_RE_Selection tool, select the material enabled step to add to the loop.
  2. Select
    Create Material Loop
    FTB_RE_Create Material Loop tool. The material loop is added, including the two required null procedures.
    To remove a material loop immediately after adding it, select
    Undo Material Loop
     FTB_RE_Undo Material Loop tool.
This example shows how a material loop appears when the material-enabled step is preceded and followed by a transition. The material loop may look different and contain more than one null procedure if it is preceded or followed by a convergence or a divergence.
