Control of textile plant with several multi-position machines and service units involves communication of control parameters between memory devices

摘要

A textile plant has multi-position machines with travelling service units and their associated control and memory devices. Communication links, e.g. a data bus, are arranged to link the second service unit on a machine or service units on other machines to the first service unit to allow exchange of processing data between the various memory devices. Independent claims are also included for: (a) transmission of processing parameters between travelling service units on one or more textile machines; (b) a textile plant with central preparation and control of processing parameters referring to a particular production batch; (c) central preparation of multiple control parameters for a textile plant and transmission to the various control units.
