A zone with photo eyes

How can I put two photocells on a conveyor and in that area they can only enter one at a time until the second photocell exits with a flow process?

Hello @Lucas,

You can modify the Acquire/Release area codes in ProcessFlow, you just need to change the variables.

Code to Release/Acquire Conveyor Restricted area - FlexSim Community

Anyway, if you want to use a zone what you can do is to stop the item if it cannot enter the zone with the capacity you indicate and when it can, resume it. These two activities (Stop Item and Resume Item) are by default in the CustomCode of ProcessFlow.
