System for monitoring looms in weaving mill

摘要

A loom monitoring system (2) includes loom computers (4) and a host computer (3) connected to the loom computers (4) through a network (7). Each loom computer (4) acquires a temporary IP address from a DHCP server (8) when a fixed IP address is not set for the loom computer (4) and requests the host computer (3) to transmit a fixed IP address using the temporary IP address. The host computer (3) assigns a fixed IP address to the loom computer (4) that transmitted the assignment request signal and correlates the fixed IP address with a loom layout map (9). The loom computers (4) each transmit an acquisition completion signal to the host computer (3) using the fixed IP address in a designated order based on the loom layout map (9). The host computer (3) correlates the fixed IP address of each loom computer (4) with the loom layout map (9) in accordance with the designated order.
