Create a straight conveyor in code?

Hi,

I have a model in which I need basic straight conveyors and then I want to add some photo eyes and decision points to them in code. I want to automate this for multiple of conveyors so it has to be made in code. Is it possible to create a straight conveyor from the library with createinstance like with the rack below

createinstance(node("/fixedresources/Rack",library()),racksContainer);

or do I have to create a straight conveyor somewhere in the model and then copy it? I could only find the conveyor and basic conveyor object in the model library and I could not figure out how to make this into a straight conveyor object.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Axel
