Roller conveyor

The roller conveyor is a reusable 3D material handling component for factory logistics and transfer zones. In this simulator it moves, holds or routes material through a machine sequence.

Motion and state

Its rotary state can be driven from a PLC output so speed and direction remain visible during a scan.

PLC control pattern

Commission it by proving encoder count before accepting forward, reverse, speed reference.

Fault practice

Inject jammed, slow states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Fault and recovery exercise

Inject jammed, slow states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Engineering boundary

The model teaches PLC sequence behaviour and diagnosis. Confirm ratings, wiring, guarding, process calculations and commissioning limits against the real manufacturer documentation and site design.
