When choosing the appropriate drive to run a belt conveyor, there are some key characteristics to keep in mind. For ideal belt loop operation, you will likely want your drive to feature closed loop, dynamic response, long motor cable length, overload torque, and slip compensation. Other features such as long acceleration and deceleration may also be necessary depending on your particular application. Your drive should have a 30:1 speed range, V/Hz motor control type, and speed regulation. I/O, feedback, and additional communication features should also be considered as necessary.
