Is it possible to simulate an Indexing conveyor during a simulation, I.E. stop / restart the motion of the conveyor via the RAPID.

Many thanks

Hello, I am also trying trying to do similar application in robotstudio using picking powerpac. Hope anyone can share some inputs.

Thanks in advance.

I’d love to be able to change the conveyor speed through rapid as that’s what one of our real robots does here with a group output to the motor drive.

Attached is a simple smart component that controls a conveyor with signals.
