Exception caught in start() of activity

Hi,

A TS with priority 0 is created at time 0, and then a TS with priority 1 is preempted. When another TS with priority 1 occurs at the moment that TS ends, if you observe the activetasksequence of TaskExecuter, the TS that occurred at time 0 is first executed for 0 seconds, and then the TS with priority 1 starts, and an error occurs there.

time: 7.620335 exception: Exception caught in start() of activity "Create TS" in process flow "ProcessFlow". Continuing throw...
time: 7.620335 exception: Exception caught in Executive::processeventinlist().

Is this a bug? Actually, I'm creating a model with ver.2023.0.11, so it would be nice if there was a workaround.

Thanks in advance.Exception caught in start() of activity.fsm

The 'workaround' is to turn off the option 'UseNavigatorForOffsetTravel' or to specify a Tigger for the offset travel in the AGV Network properties.

Hey Jason, by turning off the 'Use Navigator For Offset Travel' option, do you mean to include that option in all AGVs?

I have put it in my model, but I am still receiving the error message. What is the code that needs to be added to the trigger? 

time: 6013.061628 exception: Exception caught in start() of activity Control AGVs/AGVs/Create TS4 in process flow "ProcessFlow". Continuing throw...
time: 6013.061628 exception: Exception caught in Executive::processeventinlist().

*Note that I have a very complicated model. I have exactly the same error, but I am not sure if it is caused by the same bug. It is just to be sure.


Thank you in advance!

What trigger?

If it's the onSet of a parameter to set the number of AGVs from a Group, then after this line:

 applicationcommand("recreateObjectConnections", newObj, firstObj);

add this:

   newObj.setProperty("OffsetTravel",1);

and either set the first object's offset travel manually or add this line:

firstObj.setProperty("OffsetTravel",1);


You can set it to 0,1 or 2 - just not 3 which is the option for using the navigator for offset travel.

Hello, sorry, I read ‘trigger’ instead of ‘tigger.’

I had a similar logic in place as you indicated, but I modified the node number.

Even so, I replaced it with this one, and I’m still getting the same error.


From what I’ve observed, this sometimes happens when an operator starts a new task sequence without finishing the previous one.

As I mentioned, I move a lot of token, and it’s possible that this is what’s causing the error, rather than an issue with the offsets.

Thank you very much for your response!
