Belt control normally consists of the net sum of the belt permissives, the operator start/stop stations, the start warning system, interlock sequencing of individual conveyors and other process controls.
Belt control initiates a run command to the drive controller. Sometimes the belt control issues a running reference speed to the drive controller.
For stopping, the belt control simply removes the positive run signal to the drive controller or initiates a ramped stop command.
