FIELD: machine building.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to control of conveyor, such as scraper face conveyor or console reloader. Conveyor comprises first sprocket and second sprocket, chain connected with first sprocket and second sprocket, drive mechanism, connected to first sprocket or second sprocket, wherein said drive mechanism is configured to actuate first sprocket or second sprocket, a first sensor configured to generate a first signal associated with an angular position of the first sprocket, a second sensor configured to generate a second signal, associated with angular position of second sprocket, and controller, including processor and memory, wherein said controller is configured to receive first signal from first sensor, determining a value for the angular position of the first sprocket based on the first signal, receiving the second signal from the second sensor, determining a value for the angular position of the second sprocket based on the second signal, determining relative phase difference between angular position of first sprocket and angular position of second sprocket, determining excess chain value in conveyor based on relative phase difference between angular position of first sprocket and angular position of second sprocket. Controller is further configured to generate a control signal to control the distance between the first sprocket and the second sprocket based on said redundant circuit value.
EFFECT: technical result is improvement of sprockets position control method relative to each other in order to control excess circuit value in conveyor.
