Control conveyor as per variable time

Hello All,

In this model box2 coming from conveyor1 and transfer to conveyor 2 but I want that Conveyor 2 input port (EntryTransfer2) will open for every 1000 seconds and transfer 20 qty to conveyor 2 from conveyor 1. I want this for 2 cycles but for 3rd cycle Conveyor 2 input port (EntryTransfer2) will open for 3500 seconds its means 500 seconds late only for 3rd cycle. again, for next cycle it will open for 4000,5000,6000........seconds.

I want this without changes in source1.

Please find the attached model for referenceControl conveyor.fsm

Thank you

You can do this with a simple process flow.

The left part closes the output of the first conveyor's Exit Tranfers at the start of the model and then opens it periodically. The delay has custom code with if-conditions in it to handle the special case at 3500s.

The right part closes the input every time 20 items have entered the second conveyor.
