PLC based speed control of DC belt conveyor system

Conveyor belt system is one of the most common transfer system used in industry to transfer goods from one point to another in a limited distance. It is used in industries like the electro-mechanical/mechanical assembly manufacturing to transfer work piece from one station to another or one process...
