Hello Team,
In this model, box moves on station to station if its available (triggers applied to station)
Similarly, box should move from elevator if station is available.
Please see the attached model.
To delay the actual unload action of the elevator you would have to control its movements in Process Flow. (Well, not necessarily but it would be the easiest option)
You can approximate this behaviour by stopping the item at the start of the conveyor if the first station is not available and close the output of the Exit Transfer of the lower conveyor until the item continues.
Hello @Felix Möhlmann ,
Same as Elevator1 need to apply for Elevator2
If box is there at elevator2, it should wait at station8
Please find the model for reference
Thanks

You can use the elevator as the 'owner' of a restricted area. You just have to manually copy the release code into the On Exit trigger.

Important note: Copying the code works for the "Release Area" option because it does not require any reference other than the 'owner' of the area. Do not assume that you can simply copy any option for Photo Eyes, Decision Points or Stations to a different object. Many require a reference to the conveyor which is only provided in the header of the proper triggers.
