<p>In a method and control system for controlling a conveyor system comprising a plurality of conveyors, each of which is allocated a control unit (44, 46, 48), the conveyors are controlled in accordance with status data from the conveyors. Each conveyor is brought to communicate (via 50, 52, 53, 54) only with its adjacent conveyors, which are in turn brought to communicate only with their adjacent conveyors, etc. The communication comprises the control units (44, 46, 48) of each conveyor transmitting and receiving control information, said information being created on the basis of the conveyor's own status data and control information from its adjacent conveyors. Control signals for controlling the conveyor are created on the basis of the conveyor's own status data and the control information received by the conveyor's control unit from control units of adjacent conveyors. The control units can be standardized and dimensioned for a maximum number of adjacent conveyors. A plant for baling paper pulp comprises a conveyor system having such a control system.</p> |
