Conveyor motor cannot restart conveyors for the second time

hello, I am having issues with restarting the conveyor motor for the second time in the simulation. The first time there is no issue. But the second time, the photo-eye stops the motor, it doesn't continue the conveyors properly. only one part of the connected conveyors resume, the rest doesn't do anything. What can I do to fix this problem?

see the simulation file or the video for the first stop in comparison to the second stop when the problem occurs.

I think it has something to do with acceleration and deceleration. If I set this to 0 it works fine. If I set this on something about 0,5 until 1 m/s/s, the conveyors start behaving strangely when stopping and starting up again. Some conveyors are stopping late while others stop directly with the same settings. And some conveyors won't start up again.
