PCT No. PCT/CH96/00349 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 17, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 17, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/13908 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 17, 1997A knitting machine, in particular a warp knitting machine with a central control apparatus (120) containing a computer with an input device (122) for the establishing of the characteristic data of the knitted article (20) to be produced and with a central control unit (124) which is connected over a line (126) with individual drives (16, 28, 33, 35, 63a, 63b, 63c, 63d) for aggregates (15, 22, 32 34, 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d) of the knitting machine. The knitting machine has a main drive (16) for at least one needle bar of a row of needles and a central control unit (120) with an input device (122) to establish the characteristics of the knitwear to be produced. In order to improve the control, each drive (16, 28, 33, 35, 63a, 63b, 63c, 63d) of individual components (15, 22, 32, 34, 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d) has an individual intelligent control unit (163, 283 333, 353, 63a3, 63c3, 63d3) to assume and process the relevant program module of the control device (120). The drives are interconnected and synchronized via a shared reference value pulse generator line (130), in which one drive (16) is the main drive and an appropriate pulse generator (164) is the reference value pulse generator.
