Maximum number of objects on a conveyor

Hello,

In my model, I want to limit number of items on a conveyor up to three.

If possible, can you tell me how to rearrange my model to limit my conveyors?

I attached my model here: capstone.fsm

I tried searching few times and noticed that using 'Zone' function can control the number of objects on a conveyor, but I'm very new to this software so I could not understand.

If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you.

Hi @Abdullah A,

The easiest way to do this is to add an "On Process Finish" trigger to the processor preceding the conveyor, then an "On Entry" trigger on the Queue proceeding the conveyor. Please see the following pictures:

This should give you the behavior you are looking for.
