How to make a processor work for a certain period of time?

I wnat a processor to work only for one part of the day (lets say 8:00 to 8:30 am - or 30 min), and for the rest of the simulation that goes from 8:00 am to 5:pm (so from 8:30 am to 5:pm) it should be "off" and the respective queu should acumulate articles.

How can i specify that in the processing time of the processor?

You can use a Time Table object in the Toolbox to create scheduled down times.

In the manual there is a section that outlines the functions and uses of a Time Table:

@Vannessa Sánchez

based on your question i have attached a example model , here processor 4 will stop at time 30sec and it will remain shutdown for the rest of the operation for this i have use time table in processor 4. you can also add whatever time you need such that the processor may stop the process and resume the process based on your needs stop-the-process-for-a-time-using-time-table-or-mt.fsm
