stop the processor when the product type is switched

The processor processes two types, Type 1 and Type 2.

I want to stop the processor for 10 seconds when the product type is switched from Type 1 to Type 2.

I want to stop the processor for 20 seconds when the product type is switched from Type 2 to Type 1.

Regardless of the variety, I want to stop for 30 seconds every 50 pieces processed.

How should I set it?

These are features of the Setup Time function. You can choose only one property at a time. But you have three. Then you will select a matching property of the pick list, copy the source code to an editor and choose another matching property. You combine the source code of several properties into one.

It is good job to learn writing source code. I recommend to erase the template tags before you combine the source code. The icon doing this looks like a hand holding a paper with text and a red mark. You find it in the bottom window menu on the left next to the green question mark.

EDIT: here is an example

Is there a way to solve it without writing code?

Is there a function that corresponds to the FlexSim menu?

you have three independent conditions, then you have to combine pre-written source code yourself or find someone who does it for you. But it is not to difficult to add two „if“-statements and an „else“ structure.
