Default BasicConveyor

Hi,
i have a question about the BasicConveyor.
In my attached Modell i am using a BasicConveyor and the option to Notify Upstream of Blocked Length.
But i get a lot messages in the System Console when the Items are bigger than the connected Conveyor behind the BC.
If i use an Conveyor instead of the BC it works fine. But i have to use the BC, because of its flexibility.
Does somebody know where is the mistake?

Thanks
Tim

Unfortunately it looks like they're incompatible - as the basic conveyor is inheriting the functions from the conveyor class which don't use the same structures to record information on the item. In this case, when it generates the exception, the function notifyblockedlength is trying to find the distance behind the standard conveyor kinematic.

Someone might have implemented these functions for the basic conveyor. If you haven't contacted support already I'd contact them to find out the status.
