Separator using a Process Flow

Hello, I was trying to use a separator using the process flow logic. What I want to do is that the operator loads two items at a time, but I dont know how. I know it would be easier using the 3D model configuration butI want to introduce it in a bigger model with the process flow.

separator-autosave.fsm

Thank you very much fot the help!

The attached model demonstrates two ways.

1) The items are pushed onto a global list in the "Use Transport" option of the separator. In the process flow, a token that represents the operator pulls them from the list in packs of two and then transports them to their destination. (I believe this is what you tried to build?)

2) The process flow reacts to the 'Send to Port' being fired and creates a token for each item. These are then batched together in pairs. Afterwards they acquire the operator as a resource and are being transported to the queue.

Both approaches share the subflows that deal with loading/unloading multiple items.
