I need to stop conveyor due to technological process of gluing. In Signal Simulator there is “ConveyorStop” signal which simply works, However I can’t access this input from RAPID nor SmartComponent.  
So what is the best and simplest way to stop conveyor?

Right click on your conveyor, click Motion and then click stop.

It would be great to be able to control the conveyor through IO but I’m not sure it’s possible…

Define a virtual digital output for your robot system. Then, go to Simulation Tab \> Station Logic. Find your Robot system block, click on I/O Signals on it, and select your output from drop down list, and connect it to conveyor’s block input. Should look like this:
