Default What is the difference between a Conveyor and Basic Conveyor
The basic conveyor can be compared to the basicFR and the basicTE. It enables you to create your own conveyor behaviour. In order to get it working the way you want it to work, you have to define how this object should receive and release items. If you just want the "normal" conveyor functionality I suggest that you just use the regular conveyor..

Rachid is absolutely right. I also suggest, if you do not need special functionality on your conveyor you should use the standard (Conveyor or MergeSort).
The BasicConveyor can do a lot of more things, but you have to tell him everything, even to receive and release items.

Anyway, there are two samples in the download section with Basic Conveyor:

Sample_BasicConveyorCutting_TD

Sample_BasicConveyor
http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...do=file&id=201

I guess both models are a good start to understand how to work with the Basic Conveyor.
