There is an exception for conveyors in reference manual:

"The functionality for reversing conveyor direction was designed with a very specific scenario in mind, which is to give modelers the ability to simulate accumulation buffers, where items can be pulled off a main conveyor line when the line gets backed up, and then moved back onto the line when it clears out. The functionality has been tested only for this scenario. Using reversible conveyors for other scenarios has not been tested and thus may only work partially or not at all. "

Thank for your explicit explanation ,but how can I achieve that the items could flow synchronously in one or oppsite direction at intervals on multiple conveyors without any exception?

Any advice would be appriciated.
