Edge for strait loops (lower)

Meaning

The Edge for strait loops (lower) is used to connect transitions and places. It is very useful for drawing the lower half of a loop when there is not much place for the loop.

A petri net edge is directed. The direction depicts the flow of tokens.

Utilization

Input Boxes

When you select the shape, it will show you its available input boxes. The gray description texts show the meaning of those boxes.

To enter text, click a second time (after selecting the shape), now on the desired input box, and finally start typing to overwrite or press F2 to edit an existing text. After you have entered text, the gray descriptions will no longer be visible.

Condition: The condition which must be fulfilled in order to pass this edge (a condition is only suitable if the source of the edge is a place and the sink is a transition).
Arc weight: The number of tokens which pass this edge (i.e. a replacement for "arc weight" number of edges with the same source and sink).

(Note: These texts only appear when the FMC Support Tools >= 2.0 add-in is installed. With an older version or no installed add-in there will be colored boxes.)
