The optimum control conditions for a plurality of looms are simply estimated with the use of a trial loom. Hereby, the plurality of looms are operated under a centralized control method. The looms, even if they vary in their respective characteristics, can be effectively operated by correcting standard control data for controlling the looms in response to variations of the loom characteristics. The present centralized control method can save much labor and time to improve productivity of the looms, by properly eliminating elaborate trial weaving processes.

Centralized control method for loom and device thereof

Motor-driven let-off and take-up motions in a loom are controlled by controlling the rotation of a motor for driving warp yarns with a tension control system operating in response to a signal indicative of a target tension and a feedback input signal indicative of an actual tension of the object during a normal operation of the loom, and controlling the rotation of the motor with a feedforward control system during a transient operation of the loom, the feedforward control system storing operation patterns of directions, and speeds of rotation and angular displacement of the motor for respective operation modes and weaving conditions of the loom. At the time of the transient operation, and operating condition of the loom is detected, an appropriate operation pattern is read from the feedforward control system based on the detected operation mode, and the read operation pattern is applied as a control signal to a drive control system for the motor.
