This paper is concerned with the control and analysis of a double conveyor system with a take-up loop. The analysis involves modelling the system from first principles and system identification using recursive least squares. To control the system a Ricatti equation based self-tuning digital controller is designed. The controller minimizes the tracking error. This allows the final position error of the stock on the conveyor to be minimized even in situations where the plant may be slowly time varying and/or uncertain
