One conveyor with multi ExitTransfer

Follow topic Sorter conveyor and Photo Eye, We change the design as this link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTr1yBAvakg..

"If Operator is busy with Processor, Flowitem is transferred to next Processor. After he finish, He come back conveyor to pick Flowitem up"

I try to set up Operator is busy but I can't how to do. Finally, I can set up the Processor is processing. It worked.

But after 2 min simulation, 02 box come in the same time and logic is stop. Pls check file and instruction me how to solve it.

BTW, how to set up the OPERATOR_STATE_BUSY? I would to do it than PROCESSOR_STATE_PROCESSING.

Hello @Tao A ,

This is occurring because the processor is idle for 3 boxes until it is processing again. The two boxes sent to the exit transfer are then blocking the other boxes from going to processor 2. I moved the DP closer to the exit transfer and I changed the logic to see if the operator was not idle.

Hi @Jeanette F,

Thanks for your response.

Look like your model will get happen from 190s, at the time Operator is not idle but he don't pick box as our logic.

I modify conveyor accumulation and extend exit transfer. It work as my thinking.

Thanks again!
