Setup time

I'm working on a model in which the transporters feed the machines.

Right now I need to calculate the time the transporter takes to load and unload the queues between the change of recipes, i.e. the setup time.

I have a sub process flow to get off the not needed materials and another to load the queues with the needed materials that works both in the middle of a recipe and at the end.

I have putted the transporter state "setup" only in the sub process flow "not needed materials" which is wrong.

Can anyone help me somehow to separate the load material in the middle of the recipes and the load materials between the recipes so I can have the setup times correctly?

I hope I explained it well

Thank you in advance :)

I would to the following. After material has been brought to the queue set a label on the combiner or queue to show the current recipe. In the "Load Materials" queue you read this label when setting the state. If it matches the recipe of the current token the material is replenished only. If they don't match it's a new recipe and you use the "Setup" state instead.

Make sure to reset the label between simulation runs to some dummy value like "0".
