Have you tried using Process Flow? I've attached a simple model that demonstrates how it can be done. Look in the "Decide" activity to find the logic:

Model: photo-eye-blocked.fsm

Additionally, you might try reviewing this related post for ideas.

Thanks I will try,

The condition == 4 means BLOCKED ?

Do you know where I can find resources for the dictionary of HOW TO WRITE conditions in FLEX SIM ?

Here's a link to a comprehensive page on Photo Eyes. You might find what you're looking for by searching here.

Conditions are numbered with 4, meaning "Blocked", that is correct.
