This document discusses sequence control of conveyor belts to prevent damage. It explains that stopping the outbye belt could cause the inbye belt to pile up, overload, and potentially cause a fire. There are three main types of sequence control: automatic uses a governor to ensure the outbye belt reaches 70% speed before starting the inbye belt; pilot uses a pilot cable throughout the system to control supply to the inbye belt; and remote control allows stopping the conveyor from delivery points using a pull wire running the length of the conveyor.

3. INTRODUCTION
Stoping of the outbye belt may cause piling up of the
inbye belt, leading to overload and the subsequent
friction may cause fire.
Sequence control in conveyor is to avoid any belt
damage as result of the outbye belt being stalled.
4. PRINCIPLE
1. The inbye cannot be set in motion unless outbye is
upto 60%-70% of normal speed.
2. If the outbye stops for a reason the inbye stops
automatically.
5. TYPES OF SEQUENCE CONTROL
Automatic sequence control:
This is operated by and interlocked by the
motion of outbye belt. Swich of B is controlled by a
governor functioning by the motion of belt A. If A
is not started B cannot move. To start A is allowed
to get upto 70% of normal speed after which the
governor switch closses the connector switch of B
hence it can be started.
6. Pilot sequence control:
There is pilot cable throughout the system
and only pilot cable is control. The supply of inbye
is controlled by auxilliary contacts on each
contactor. The disadvantage is to use pilot cable
throughout hence increasing the cost.
7. Remote control of conveyors:
On conveyor system the remote control switch
connnected at the delivery point can be connected
in parallel to a cable running the length of the
conveyor for press buttons inserted for local
control. Pull wire is connected all along the circuit
and a pull at the wire stops the conveyor.
