I am using a dashboard button and a motor to switch off a conveyor on demand, then switch it back on at a later time. When the downstream conveyor (blue) is off, the packages from the upstream conveyor that are trying to transfer (from the SIDE of the upstream conveyor to the START of the downstream one) are blocked, which is exactly what I want.
The problem is when I switch the downstream conveyor back on, the packages remain blocked and still will not enter the transfer.
Is there something I need to do to "nudge" the package and tell it to start the transfer?
I seem to be having a similar problem in other areas of the model when using a photo-eye to trigger a stop/start on a motor due to blockage, but it is not consistent.
I also have used the same technique where the transfer is from the END of the upstream conveyor to the SIDE of the downstream one, and in that case it resumes as expected and there is no problem. (For reference see conveyors IRC3_2B to IRC5_1.)
I will upload the model "CKrupp_conveyor_unblock_problem". The buttons/conveyors in this case are named "IFTN1_4 and IFTN1_4_Slide1".
Thanks
