Abstract

A digital speed controlling apparatus includes: a target speed calculator that calculates a target speed of a driven conveyor belt, based on a sampling time; a current speed calculator that calculates a current speed of the conveyor belt, based on displacement and a difference of a sampling time; a target speed determining unit that determines whether a target speed is smaller than a predetermined value; a speed corrector that replaces the current speed with a set value, when the target speed is smaller than the predetermined value and also when the current speed is the minimum unit displacement per the sampling cycle; a speed error calculator that calculates an error between a replaced set value and the target speed; and an automatic controller that controls the drive motor based on a speed error.
