Textile machine, especially spinning machine or winding machine, with a control and communication system

摘要

A textile machine, especially a spinning machine or winding machine, has numerous identical workstations arranged beside one another along a longitudinal side, with numerous maintenance devices movable along the workstations for servicing the workstations, and with a control and communication system. The maintenance devices are connected to a bus topology component through a maintenance device bus line, in which case at least some of the bus topology components are connected to the control and communication system with a common bus line. The bus topology components are arranged in a middle area of the textile machine, in the longitudinal direction (LR) of the textile machine.

主权项

1. A textile machine having a plurality of spinning or winding workstations arranged side-by-side along a longitudinal side of the textile machine between opposite terminal end frames of the textile machine, the textile machine comprising:
a plurality of maintenance devices configured to move in the longitudinal direction alongside the workstations for servicing the workstations; a control and communication system having a common data bus line, the maintenance devices in communication with the control and communication system; each of the maintenance devices connected to a bus topology component through a maintenance device bus line, wherein the maintenance device bus lines are a trailing cable or self-spooling line; at least certain ones of the bus topology components connected to the common bus line and arranged in a stationary connection device located at a middle area of the textile machine in the longitudinal direction between the terminal frames of the textile machine; the bus topology components physically connecting the maintenance device bus lines to the common bus line.
