Abstract

A method for monitoring a belt conveyor with a circulating conveyor belt includes the steps of determining at least one operating parameter of the belt conveyor; determining running resistances at different points along the conveyor belt on the basis of the at least one determined operating parameter; determining a sum of the determined running resistances over the length of the conveyor belt; and adapting the determination of the running resistances, in order to minimize a deviation of the drive power which is calculated from the determined sum from the measured drive power.
