How do i make a freight platform load and unload specific items?

[Galaxial]

Im trying to make the freight platform load modular frames and unload everything else its carrying, but it keeps outputting the modular frames, any solution?

Smart splitters. Stations don't have logic.

[Vectorspace]

A single freight platform can only load or unload, it cannot do both.

As Vectorspace, you can't load and unload at the same time.
You can add a second train station:
^
^
[Train station]
[Loading freight platform]
^
[Train station]
[Unloading freight platform]
^
^

or you can add a freight platform to an existing station and a second freight car to the train

Best solution would be to use two freight cars, and of course two freight platforms. The platforms can load or unload independantly on the same station. Having two stations after each other makes little sense.

I'm just assuming that people sometimes create complex logistical solutions and the second car on the train may already be and intended for something else

Be sure the 'load/unload' button at the bottom of the platform is correct.
I often set consists to load several low count Items into the same car. At the destination I use splitters/smart splitters or programmable splitters to seperate and organize the mess as it unloads from the station going to where I need it. Even to the point of re-routing it to the next adjacent platform to be picked up by the next train. I have stacked stations where one train unloads on the upper station that sorts things to send to the lower station for pickup to go to certain processing areas. doing this allows for shorter stations and less empty space in designated cars.

On the train schedule, when setting a station for the train to stop at hovering over the station name with show a "settings" icon which you can select what items you want to be loaded into the train and what Items you may want unloaded.
I am not really sure if a lot of players know that, as I only discovered this recently by chance because I saw a brief glimpse of the settings icon.
