The conveyor is usually used in industries to transport the commodity from one end to another, and can use it anywhere. As the occurrence of faults can affect the entire generation of power, the monitoring and security of these conveyors is important. Using relay logic methods, which have many drawbacks, the safety of the conveyors is carried out, and a new method is therefore required. This paper focuses on the monitoring, control, and safety of conveyors against different types of conveyor faults using a programmable logic controller (plc). This work considers four significant types of faults that commonly occur in conveyors, such as belt sway fault, pull chord fault, zero speed fault, and fire safety.
