In a conveyor has a lot of conveyor points.

I have the conveyor reference and I need to get the reference/name of the exit transfer, without centerport.

Is that possible?

using

getvarnode(Model.find("Conveyor1"), "conveyorPoints").subnodes[1].value.up.up.up

will reference the exit transfer object

@Joshua S, I think you can get the object easier with "ownerobject" instead of the relative path "up.up.up".

Object convPoint1 = ownerobject(getvarnode(Model.find("Conveyor1"), "conveyorPoints").subnodes[1].value);

Thank you, that is a much cleaner approach.

The conveyorPoints node contains photoeyes, decision points, stations and other objects. To find transfers see this post.
