Picking up objects from a conveyor

How can I make an operator pick up stop items from a conveyor at a decision point using an exit transfer?

To use an exit transfer, it either has to be the last point on the conveyor (no other transfers, including to other conveyors, decision points, photo eyes or stations after it). Or the item has to be send there and this has to happen before the item reaches the exit transfer. An item will stop at the end of an exit transfer if you don't change the default settings of the transfer.

You can also load an item from a conveyor without an exit transfer by creating a task sequence through other means (Process Flow or code in triggers).

Felix, at the end of my conveyor belt I have a processor who needs to send product to Queue1 through a transporter (Operator6) and the product is building up in the processor (P6_TP)- please, see model file attached. For some reason I can't make it work. What could be the issue? I really appreciate your comments.lastmodel.fsm

Pay attention to the connection ranks. Right now the processor is trying to use the Decision Point for the transport task. The operator is the second centerport connection.

packaging_trial.fsmThanks Felix, T tried to repeat the same pattern for a third Processor, using Operator 3 and a new DP, however it is not working. I would appreciate your comments.

DP3 is missing the code that generates the task sequence in the Arrival trigger Code Snippet.
