Simultaneous divergence

The starting point for a simultaneous branch is a simultaneous divergence. When you add a simultaneous divergence, you split one execution path into divergent paths. The transition preceding the simultaneous divergence branch must attach to all the Equipment Phases referenced by the steps to be activated, before the steps are started.The following example shows a simultaneous branch and its elements.This example shows three simultaneous paths: one to add Material_A, one to add Material_B, and one to mix the ingredients. Item

1

shows the transition evaluating TRUE, resulting in the simultaneous execution of the first step of each path. The simultaneous divergence in item

2

creates the three paths to execute in item

3

. In item

4

, the first step of each path is configured. The simultaneous convergence in item

5

merges all three simultaneous paths back together. Tran_006 in item

6

begins evaluating when all steps above the simultaneous convergence are active. When the transition expression evaluates TRUE, execution of the simultaneous paths ends and execution continues to the next step.
