How could I do it for, for example, two conveyors and the second appointment arrives and the photocell detects that it is busy for more than four seconds, so it stops the previous tape. But to stop the previous belt it would have to have the condition of four seconds or more busy otherwise it will not stop. Could you do it for me?

Photo eyes have two sets of triggers: Cover/Uncover and Block/Clear.
A photo eye becomes covered as soon as an item touches it and becomes uncovered when no item is present.
Through the settings "Block Time" and "Clear Time" you can set for how long a Photo Eye must be covered or uncovered for it to also become blocked or cleared.
So you would use the On Block and On Clear triggers to stop the upstream conveyor and choose the block time accordingly so that it only fires once an item has been present for 4s.
But I only want to stop the motor if is covered more than four seconds only in that case.
I explained how to achieve this. What part are you having trouble with?
"use the On Block and On Clear triggers to stop the upstream conveyor and choose the Block Time accordingly so that it only fires once an item has been present for 4s."
4 segundos para cinta anterior.fsm
For example here the firts boxes stop also the motor and I only want if is blocked four or more seconds , otherwise no.
In your model you use the On Cover and On Uncover trigger, as opposed to the On Block and On Clear triggers that I mentioned.
I dont understand can you complete de model that i share?
And please post follow-up questions as a comment (if they belong to the 'main' topic of the post) or as a new question, but not as an answer.

In the "On Wait Timer Fired" trigger, the token is by default released through the first. Change this to be the second connector, so it takes a different path compared to where it would normally go.
On that second path use a Custom Code activity. It contains many different options. One of which is to stop an object (Control -> Stop Object).
And how would you do the same with process flow?
