Abstract A controlling and supervising system for a loom controlled with a network of computers connected in a network. A host computer provides data files containing dispatching data and production instructions for various units and devices. A data-communication personal computer connected to the network receives data transmitted from the host computer in file and loads the received data into the various units and devices via the network. A plurality of supervisory personal computers are provided for storing the data from the data-communication personal computer and further downloading the data as required, with the addition of operating data, and also supervising predetermined operations and functions of the loom in accordance with signals received from the loom. A controller is installed between the loom and the supervisory personal computer for operating and controlling the loom on the basis of the data from the supervisory personal computer and controlling access to input of signals from the loom and data for use in the operation and control of such equipment and loading the same into the supervisory personal computer.
A controlling and supervising system for a loom, comprising: a network means for interconnecting computers connected to said network means; a host computer connected to said network having data files containing dispatching data and production instructions for various units and devices also connected to said network means; a data-communication personal computer connected to said network means and receiving data transmitted from said host computer in file and loading the received data into said various units and devices via said network means; a plurality of supervisory personal computers storing the data from said data-communication personal computer and further downloading said data as required, with the addition of operating data, and also supervising predetermined operations and functions of the loom in accordance with signals received from from said loom; and a controller installed between said loom and said supervisory personal computer for operating and controlling said loom on the basis of the data from said supervisory personal computer and controlling access to input of signals from said loom and data for use in the operation and control of such equipment and loading the same into said supervisory personal computer.
