How to set destination of items in conveyor?

Hi all,

In this demo model, if two boxes are together while they are in a conveyor

a different destination for both of the boxes is set

I've been trying using PE and DP, but I haven't got the logic I need, I would appreaciate any help or advice.

LogicaSorter.fsm

Thanks!

Just test if the PE is blocked in the OnCover of one of the photoeyes.

I was trying to send both of the boxes, not only the second one, but I managed to do it setting a label to both items only when they're together OnCover of the PE and then using a DP to send them to its destination.

deactivate option "require Gap to Clear" in photo eye properties.

I send every second item to conveyor with decision point by condition in On Cover event.

Option only visible in free floating properties pane (FlexSim 22.1.1). Quick properties missing.

updated model: condition direct attached item diverts
