Open/Close output of a separator by condition

I am trying to block a separator using close and open the output of it. The condition is that the queue which is receiving the output of this separator has a length less then 60. I.e., when the number of elements in the queue is 60 the separator should have a closed output and when the queue has less then 30 elements it should open the output again.

However, what I am seeing is that, the output is not opening even though there is less then 30 elements in the queue. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Telmo_Silva!

It's a lot easier to do that logic directly from queue PJ2 using triggers like you did. For example I added an on entry and on exit trigger to close and open ports and my logic for them looks like this:

I'm attaching the model here for reference:

cenario-3_1.fsm

Let us know if that helps!
