How can I make processor downtime (MTBF MTBR) exclusive from setup time?

I have a processor that has routine downtime (MTBF MTBR) and it also has a setup time. During the setup time, the process is still stopped by the MTBF MTBR. How can I change this so that when in setup time, the processor cannot fail due to MTBF MTBR? I do not want the setup to be interrupted.

I have attached a small example model. Thanks.

Hi Robert, check out the highlighted check box on the MTBF/MTTR window and exclude the setup state from the list.

The time for the first failure in the MTBF table is shorter than your setup time. So you would have to change your time for first failure to be longer than the setup time. For example, you can make it 35.
