Conveyor Capacity with MTBFMTTR

Hi,
I am trying to control the conveyor capacity using "Close and Open Ports" triggers on the upstream queue. I am able to control the maximum content of conveyor but after a downtime event, flow items do not pass through conveyor.ControlledConveyorCapacity.fsm

FlexSim 22.2.0

Here's a better approach where the conveyor controls the entryTransfer's input port based on the maxContent label.

controlledconveyorcapacity_jl.fsm

Another way would be to change the spacing to ensure the capacity is enforced.

Thanks for the input Jason,
Not sure which label types to add for "inTransfer" and "maxContent". Can you advise?

The maxContent is just an numeric, but inTransfer is a pointer label which you then set by using the sampler (pipette icon).
