Hi @Boey TS,

I think the best way to do this is to use an event triggered source in process flow then set the conveyor speed.

First, make the following process flow:

Select the Source: Sorter Down, click on the exclamation mark, then select Sorter 1 in the 3D model. In the menu that opens select "Sorter 1: On Stop".
Add the following to Custom Code: Set Conveyor Speed to 0:
```
 conveyorsetspeed(model().find("Conveyor1"), 0);
```

Repeat the 2 steps for Sorce: Sorter Resume, but instead select "Sorter1: On Resume" and set the speed to whatever you would like.

I hope this helps!
