In the tutorial for Power and Free conveyors it says "In FlexSim, enabling power and free operation for a given conveyor or conveyors essentially causes them to enforce fixed interval movement. This means that items will only move at points on the conveyor where simulated dogs are located."

By default, items should only be able to catch free dogs when using power and free conveyor systems, like in this example model: powerandfree.fsm

If you haven't already, I suggest taking a look at the conveyor tutorials, especially the power and free conveyor tutorial: POWER AND FREE SYSTEMS

Let me know if you have any more questions on this!
