Original Abstract Submitted
A method for tensioning an endless belt may include determining a first tension level in a conveyor belt of a conveyor assembly; comparing the first tension level to a desired tension level in the conveyor belt of the conveyor assembly; in response to the first tension level not corresponding to the desired tension level in the conveyor belt of the conveyor assembly, determining one of a slip condition of the conveyor belt and a stall condition of the conveyor belt; and determining a second tension level of the conveyor belt based on the first tension level of the conveyor belt and the one of the slip condition of the conveyor belt and the stall condition of the conveyor belt.
