Open/Close Ports Question

I have a situation where I'm trying to start a process when an item is on another processor. The model attached has a WIP processor and a Bin Washer processor. I'm trying to get it where once the WIP process starts with a cube, the Bin Washer process starts with a Cylinder. I want te Bin Washer only to run if and when the WIP processor begins. wip-to-bin-washer.fsm

Kevin,

the easiest would be to stop and resume the Bin Washer depending on when an item enters or leaves the WIP processor. Look into my model at the Reset Trigger of the Bin Washer and the OnEntry/OnExit of the WIP processor.

In this scenario, the BIN Washer stops working whenever no item is in the WIP processor, even when in process. Is that what you asked for?

Good luck

Ralf
