Table 2-27: Stopping the co-simulation
Note
When you stop the co-simulation while the package is on transport belt 1, the monitoring time for transport belt 1 can be exceeded in the controller. As a result, the error of a fallen down package is displayed. In this case, restart the conveyor system (chapter 2.3.5), to resynchronize the co-simulation and the system control.
