In my model, I want to manage the input and ouput of the conveyor depending on its capacity using the process flow.
I know that the conveyors don't have input/output ports, but I want a solution that involve only the conveyors such that I can save my conveyor with its logic in a private library and use it later.
Thank you,

That is a task! As I understand the conveyor module it doesn't behave as an classic object anymore. It is more a complex system as its own. To know its capacity you have to know its topology. I think you can build a ProcessFlow for a predefined structure but not for all variants of the conveyor module. Perhaps you can describe which scenario or structure your system will look like? I think then there is a method to build a balance of transported items and the capacity of the system.
@Jörg Vogel My problem isn't how to find the capacity of the conveyor. It's just a label that we can change. My problem is how to close and open the ports of the conveyor without using the entry/exit transfer or a queue.
Thank you.
Then you can add a node in the variables branch and store the data there.
