You are using a mix of 3D logic and ProcessFlow logic in a way that is not compatible. Here is an updated version of one of your models. mokhtarupdate.fsm

You don't need A or S port connections from the Queues to the transporter, or from the Queues to Queue1 because your process flow logic takes care of that. Also, in your Queues you don't need to use a transporter to push the items in the queue to a list. Another quirk of Process Flow is the need for a Travel and Move Object instead of a load. If you use a load, it goes straight to the item. I have used a travel to token.item.up, which travels to the Queue instead of the item (up references the tree nodes parent node), which makes the transporter travel to the Queues network node. After it as traveled on the node, it can use a load to load it from there.

Try and do something similar for your other model. Please tag me @Braydn T if you need any more help with this.

The operator doesn’t know over which network node he is. Only each network node knows which traveler is over him. You can send a message to the traveler from the network node letting him know to which network he arrived currently.
