Abstract

See full text

The invention concerns a textile machine (10) with a multiplicity of workstations (41a-d), one electronic device (42) per workstation, a central machine control (20, 22), a machine bus (25) for communication between the machine control and each or possibly a group (30a-d) of electronic device(s) and a sensor apparatus (43) for each workstation. A central evaluation unit (24) is provided for the assessment of sensor data from the sensor apparatuses (44), whereby the sensor data embraces continually measured characteristic values and/or the quality or signal data derived therefrom. The central evaluation unit (24) is connected by means of a first communication connection (23, 23′) with the machine control (20, 22) or so connected by the machine bus (25). The sensor apparatuses (43) are connected with the evaluation unit (24) through a second communication connection (23, 25, 31a, 40, 44, 45) and the second communication connection embraces at least the machine bus (25) and the first communication connection (23, 23′). A procedure for the transmission of sensor data in the case of a textile machine provides the transmission of the data from sensor apparatuses (43) to a central evaluation unit (24) at least by interconnected pathways and through a machine bus (25) of the textile machine (10).
