Is there a way to make an operator perform an animation every 15 seconds?

I have four operators surrounding one processor. Three of them stand around the processor all the time and I just want to make them look like they are working, so I want to use the "EnterCode" or "Close" animation to do so. Is there a way to do this? My thought was just to have them repeat the animation every 15 seconds because the fourth operator is already assigned to the processor itself, but I'm open to all ideas to make each operator animated.

I would use some sort of loop or constant trigger in Process Flow to accomplish this. I've attached an example model that shows this. Additionally, the image below shows an example of a source that creates a token every 15 seconds to trigger the animation.

Model: enter-code-loop.fsm

I should mention that you can add activities to trigger multiple operators, as it sounds like you have three operators per processor.
