That was for the standard conveyor with photoeye, but the same procedure is not working for basic conveyor with decision points. As previously quoted the flow item stops but does not resume after delay time.

You shouldn't stop and start a BasicConveyor with stopobject() and resumeobject().
The BasicConveyor is designed to be basic in order to give you ultimate flexibility on how it behaves. If you want to stop a BasicConveyor, use bcsetitemconveystate() on all the items to stop them. If you want to resume a BasicConveyor, use bcsetitemconveystate() on all the items to resume them. This gives you ultimate flexibility as to what "stopping" and "resuming" mean in your object. Use a delayed message for the 10 second delay between stopping and resuming. |
