In my model, I have many accumulation conveyors, which move many items at the same time. Some of them are stopped by logic in process flow, others stop, e.g. when the distance between objects has reached the minimum.... Is there any way, using flexscript or process flow, to check whether a given conveyor item is currently in the stopped state or is moving?
You can get some way towards this by checking a simple data type value of the Conveyor.Item (traversal) but it does not detect when the item is moving as part of an accumulation. Here's an example using the cylinder shape's draw code to change the color to green when moving and red otherwise.
The real question is why you would need to do this and whether an alternative method would suffice.
