Abstract
A method for driving a weaving machine during slow motion includes the steps of carrying out the slow motion drive using the main drive motor, and controlling excitation of the main drive motor as a function of the load on the weaving machine parts which has been predetermined and stored in a memory as a function of weaving machine part positions. The required speed of the weaving machine parts to be driven may also be taken into account in controlling the main drive motor. A device for carrying out the method includes the main drive motor, a power phase controller for the main drive motor, detectors for detecting the positions of the weaving machine parts, and a comparator for comparing the positions with stored positions in order to take into account the load data which has been entered.
