I believe the issue stems from using operators duing the setup at the processors. This feature is not fully supported when the processor has a capacity of more than 1 and can lead to issues.

In this case I believe simply allowing the setup task to preempt any additional transport tasks should prevent the problems.

I also noticed that "PowerUp01" has no input connection. It seems the connection to the Exit Transfer was created in the wrong direction.

In the end, I decided to solve it through process flow.It will be more clear. But now it's happening to me that even if I set the max content for the processor to 1, the operator gives me more boxes than I'm allowed to. :( Test01.fsm

The maximum content is only taken into account when receiving items through port connections. In Process Flow you'd need to check if there is space first.

You can use a hybrid approach. Use port-connections to determine where the item is send but build out the transport logic in Process Flow. For this activate the "Use Transport" option on the sending objects and choose "No Transport Reference" in the dropdown menu. Then listen to the "On Transport Reference" event with the Event-Triggered Sources.
