Conveyor system and an associated method

A method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of conveyor sections, wherein each of the plurality of conveyor sections comprises a motorized drive roller (MDR) and a MDR operations circuitry;
• identifying a MDR operations circuitry fault;
• determining that the MDR operations circuitry fault is associated with a first MDR operations circuitry of a first conveyor section of the plurality of conveyor sections;
• initiating performance of one or more MDR operations circuitry fault response actions based at least in part on the determination that the MDR operations circuitry fault is associated with the first MDR operations circuitry;
• identifying a second MDR operations circuitry of a second conveyor section of the plurality of conveyor sections;
• determining that the second MDR operations circuitry is downstream from the first MDR operations circuitry;
• and
• determining that the second MDR operations circuitry is associated with a connection fault based on the determination that the second MDR operations circuitry is downstream from the first MDR operations circuitry.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon that, in execution with at least one processor, configures the computer program product for:

• identifying a plurality of conveyor sections, wherein each of the plurality of conveyor sections comprises a motorized drive roller (MDR) and a MDR operations circuitry;
• identifying a MDR operations circuitry fault;
• determining that the MDR operations circuitry fault is associated with a first MDR operations circuitry of a first conveyor section of the plurality of conveyor sections;
• initiating performance of one or more MDR operations circuitry fault response actions based at least in part on the determination that the MDR operations circuitry fault is associated with the first MDR operations circuitry;
• identifying a second MDR operations circuitry of a second conveyor section of the plurality of conveyor sections;
• determining that the second MDR operations circuitry is downstream from the first MDR operations circuitry;
• and
• determining that the second MDR operations circuitry is associated with a connection fault based on the determination that the second MDR operations circuitry is downstream from the first MDR operations circuitry.
