Conveyor belt with Decision point

I want to make a conveyor.

1. Empty tote pass through the conveyor

2. If there are A or B product on the list, it goes to that decision point and stack A or B by the combiner.

3. If there aren't C or D product on the list, it just pass through.

Will this be possible?

Here's an example using process flow to detect the DP arrival event and check a list partitioned by Source.

If the capacity of the tote is more than one then you need to add that as a label and change the quantity pulled (requested and required to suit) and then change the combiner packing. The source sendto (modified) places the items on the list but also returns port 1 so that they are released to the combiner, ready for a tote.

there are triggers on the decision points to send items to conveyors. You point to them by decision points on them. The condition evaluates the existence of type by querying the list and logical comparison.

The source sends just neutral boxes to the combiner. You update on entry trigger the component list to the needed items to pack. When the items to pack arrive through input port number 2 or a larger number then you assign the type. This is easier to handle than to send the right number of items and type from the source,

If you need help, how you can query a list and compare the result logically, then come back and ask another question.

A hint of kindness: Please attach a simplified model, which user can adjust to help you. Many thanks.
