@Zhun Z, you know that FlexSim is event driven. If you change a parameter setting then it applies only to items, which haven’t passed this firing event. If items have passed this event, all you can do is to update events in the eventlist of your model. Please look for commands, which contain a phrase of “event”. Then you should test them, if they do what you want to achieve. But manipulating an event list falls under a directive which is restricted to most experienced users or developers.

Are you saying you want it to be down when empty?

If so, instead of stopping it in the timtetable trigger, set a flag on the conveyor to say that it should go down and then when you detect it being empty stop it for the duration. You'll probably find it easier to use a process flow for the detection and resume actions.
