The invention relates to a method for the maintenance of a plurality of processing stations () of a textile machine (), whereby at least one first maintenance unit () can travel alongside the processing stations () in order to service and/or control the processing stations (). The maintenance unit () may be moved into an optimized readiness position when none of the processing stations () needs to be serviced and/or controlled by the maintenance unit. Alternatively, the direction of travel in which the maintenance unit () is to travel to the next processing station () in need of service is determined, whereby the direction of travel depends on the totality of processing stations in need of maintenance.

Method for the maintenance of a textile machine

The invention concerns a textile machine () with a multiplicity of workstations (), one electronic device () per workstation, a central machine control (), a machine bus () for communication between the machine control and each or possibly a group () of electronic device(s) and a sensor apparatus () for each workstation. A central evaluation unit () is provided for the assessment of sensor data from the sensor apparatuses (), whereby the sensor data embraces continually measured characteristic values and/or the quality or signal data derived therefrom. The central evaluation unit () is connected by means of a first communication connection (') with the machine control () or so connected by the machine bus (). The sensor apparatuses () are connected with the evaluation unit () through a second communication connection () and the second communication connection embraces at least the machine bus () and the first communication connection (&#x2032;). A procedure for the transmission of sensor data in the case of a textile machine provides the transmission of the data from sensor apparatuses () to a central evaluation unit () at least by interconnected pathways and through a machine bus () of the textile machine ().
