I am modelling a production line in AnyLogic where at some points we have to convert the equipment at specific machine elements (modelled as service + resource pools). It happens only on certain events, i.e. change of product-version (A -> B). Is there a way I can tell a resource pool to stop "now" and have a delay of for example 20 minutes? I am really struggling since it looks like all of this can only be implemented as distributions etc. but not as a discrete event.

Yes. Either use the properties of your "ResourcePool" element (under tab "Maintenance, failures...") or the new "Downtime" block.
Both have a good description in the help and example models to get you started.
Also, learn about the "Priority" system for more important tasks so resource make priority decisions, if needed.
