Work order "do not mount cap on workpiece and feed to next station"
5. Based on the work order string, the PLC program detects that the cap mounting stage needs to be
skipped for this workpiece.
6. The deflector is activated.
7. Since no cap is required for this workpiece, the deflector is retracted again.
8. The stopper advances again.
9. The workpiece is detected at the end of the first conveyor. If a downstream station is ready (I6=1), the
workpiece is transported to the downstream station.
10. Joining station conveyor motor off.
