In the work, a program and a method of planning experimental studies during the start-up of a conveyor belt were developed. The design of the laboratory model of the belt conveyor is presented, the most significant characteristics that need to be measured are selected. The selection of transducers (electric motor current, acceleration and linear movement of the tape) and appropriate equipment for recording and transmitting the received data was carried out. The places of installation of the necessary equipment on the laboratory model of the belt conveyor are shown. Software for processing sensor indicators is presented. Experimental studies have been planned to determine the dynamic and energy parameters of the belt conveyor. The characteristics of the start (direct start, frequency-controlled with different dependences of the frequency increase, frequency-controlled according to the optimal law of the frequency increase), as well as the duration of the frequency increase, were chosen as independent factors. The technique of filtering and processing experimental data is presented
