Hello,
I have a short question:
How can I transfer the item to Conveyor no. 2 at a defined time of day (e.g. from 10pm to 6am) and to Conveyor no. 1 the rest of the day?
Thanks for your help.

Use this as your condition on the routing DP:
Model.dateTime.hour>=6&&Model.dateTime.hour<22
Thanks for your answer.
With your condition it reacts the other way round. (item goes in direction 1 between 6 and 22 o'clock).
The attempt to modify the condition did not work.
So I need a solution that the item goes to direction 2 between 10pm and 6am. And the rest of the day in direction 1.
From your screenshot I would assume that direction 1 is the default, meaning items go that way if you don't send them anywhere else. As such you don't really need a connection to that direction which is what Jason probably assumed in his answer: Have one outObject that marks the alternative path and send items there via condition.
You can of course leave both connection and just change the index in the destination from 1 to 2.
To negate a logic expression you either switch all operands within it to their counterpart (">=" becomes "<", "<" becomes ">=", "&&" becomes "||") or you just put the entire expression in parentheses and put a "!" in front ( "!(...)" ).
