I have 1 processor and 2 operators each of them have to work by turns (time table break), the process is to long for 1 operator to finish it. How can I do for the operator to switch during process time

First of all, both operators must be connected to a same dispatcher.

Secondly, you have to set an "A" connection from the dispatcher to each operator, and also another "A" connection in the opposite direction, from the operator to the dispatcher. The latter will make an unfinished task sequence "return" to the dispatcher in order so that it can be sent to another operator.

I did a demo model to show it, please check if it answers your question. shift-tests.fsm

If it doesn't work, please, share your model.
