photo eye does not recognize the settings

Phot eye.fsmI have a problem with my photo radar, I changed the height to 1 meter and it doesn't recognize the settings, it doesn't do anything, it doesn't recognize the blocking times, what can I do?

I want the settings functions like this not because the settings work well only when the photo eye has a height of or but if the change to 1 meter height it no longer works

@Kevin S7

Your flow items need to be at least 1 meter high to trigger the photo eyes.

I understand it but that would not be a viable option since the initial conditions of the box must maintain the size and must pass below the photoeye but maintaining the height of 1 meter and the first sensor must stop for 20 seconds, which when configured does not Do that.

The photoeyes are designed to mimic a beam of light across the conveyor. If something passes below that beam of light it is not detected. If you want all heights of items to be detected then you need to lower the photoeye as far as possible.
