01
Drive and prove
Issue a run demand only after permissives; compare commanded speed with running and encoder feedback.
Control architecture
Four layers make a conveyor system teachable and testable
02
Detect and track
Debounce sensors, capture arrival edges and preserve product identity between physical detection points.
03
Route and sort
Coordinate stops, pushers, turntables and diverters without colliding loads or losing the tracked destination.
04
Trip and recover
Detect jams, failed feedback and blocked discharge; stop in a defined order and require deliberate reset.
Runnable curriculum
Grow from one belt to a complete sort line
Conveyor Sort
Track products between detection and diversion with counters and timing.
Open scenario3D Conveyor Sort
See motion, sensor state and diversion on the same editable factory floor.
Open scenarioVFD Conveyor Speed
Command, scale and prove belt speed from analog and discrete signals.
Open scenarioStop-delay Conveyor
Keep discharge moving long enough to clear the last product safely.
Open scenarioMining Conveyor Train
Sequence downstream-first and protect a bulk-material line from blockage.
Open scenarioDrive Fault Recovery
Restore the drive only after the unsafe demand and original cause are gone.
Open scenarioReusable conveyor kit
Open each object to inspect its motion, typed PLC points, failure modes and scenarios before composing the line.
Engineering boundary
Training models teach sequence, state and fault reasoning. Real conveyor design still requires load, motor, braking, guarding, stop-category, safety distance and manufacturer calculations.
