processor state blocked while empty

Hello,

I have an AGV system with 2 processors as seen below.

When The hood_trunk processor is empty; it gives an idle state, and some other times it gives a blocked state as seen in the picture without any clear reason

is there any way to fix it? I need a state chart for the processor and I need it to be correct for my discussions and analysis later on.

*note that the processor is very small because I don't want it to be seen

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Place a Breathe activity (0s delay) in between the Wait for Event and Load activities. Otherwise the item is removed from the processor before all logic of the process finish event is done which leads to the state not being updated.

I'd also recommend to update the code in the "Use Transport" option to reflect the current state of the model to get rid of the compiler errors.

Hi Felix,

I didn't find the "Breath" activity, maybe because of the student version software that I use.

But I have tried to use delay instead and it fixed my issue.

Thanks a lot

You need to expand the delay activity options to see it:
