Status

one shell, 22 state machines

The card whose state is someone else's. The capper is healthy throughout and caps one bottle a cycle while its buffer has one; stop the filler upstream and nothing fails here — the queue drains, six then five, until the capper stands idle with no fault of its own. The status word names the other machine and the primary button acts on it.

Capping

6 in buffer

Capping every bottle the filler sends

The buffer holds 6 bottles and refills as fast as the capper empties it, so this station never sees the filler at all — until the filler stops
