I think I got it:

```auto
var PAC3 = msg.payload.PAC3;
var msg1 = {};
var msg2 = {};
var Bel;
var Ent;
if(PAC3 < 0 ) {
    Bel = (PAC3 * -1);
    Ent = 0;
    msg1.payload = Bel;
    msg2.payload = Ent;
    msg1.topic = "Beladen";
    msg2.topic = "Entladen";
} else {
    Ent = PAC3;
    Bel = 0;
    msg1.payload = Bel;
    msg2.payload = Ent;
    msg1.topic = "Beladen";
    msg2.topic = "Entladen";
}
return [msg1,msg2];

```

and set 2 outputs

or can I do one output as an object ?

I hope this is the solution

</div>

to bring the topic to a completion, here's the solution 👍

```auto
var PAC3 = msg.payload.PAC3;
var msg1 = {};
var msg2 = {};
var Bel;
var Ent;
if(PAC3 < 0 ) {
    Bel = (PAC3 * -1);
    Ent = 0;
    msg1.payload = Bel;
    msg2.payload = Ent;
    msg1.topic = "Beladen";
    msg2.topic = "Entladen";
} else {
    Ent = PAC3;
    Bel = 0;
    msg1.payload = Bel;
    msg2.payload = Ent;
    msg1.topic = "Beladen";
    msg2.topic = "Entladen";
}
return [msg1,msg2];

```
