The conveyors are currently set to be "Accumulating" conveyors, meaning items can stop independently of the conveyors speed. This represents a roller conveyor.

If you deactivate that option, an item being stopped on the conveyor will lead to the whole conveyor coming to a halt.

Can we also do in a way that conveyor runs upon being trigger? In real life, the conveyor is not running upon starting the system, but it runs upon trigger from upstream handshake.

Regards,

Mike.

You can set the start speed to 0 and later change the speed with the following expression (where "conv" is a pointer reference to the conveyor object). 
conv.as(Conveyor).targetSpeed = X;
