Abstract
A cheese-producing textile machine 1 having a plurality of winding stations 2 with respective separate winding station computers 39 and a unit 23 for servicing the winding stations 2. The textile machine 1 has a central control unit 37 and the service unit 23 has a separate control computer 38. These control devices 37, 38 and 39 are connected with each other by means of a machine bus 40. During the process of replacing a finished cheese with an empty tube at any winding station, a cheese brake integrated into the winding creel 18 and/or a creel lifting device 49 can be actuated by the service unit computer 38 via the machine bus 40 in a pulsed manner when needed, for example to dislodge a cheese 11 which is stuck in the winding creel.
