We developed computer simulation routines for a belt steering control system. The belt steering process was modeled and the process variables defined. Then the system characteristic equation was determined in terms of the critical variables. A generic domain system solution was calculated and implemented in computer simulation using QuickBasic. The process variables were characterized on a test fixture and run through the simulator to determine the dynamic system response under various control conditions. This simulation replicated the actual system behavior, revealing its level of sensitivity to the critical system variables.
