Abstract
A cheese-producing textile machine (,), having a central control unit (,), a plurality of work stations (,), and a service unit (,), which automatically supplies the work stations (,). The work stations (,) each have a winding device with a winding drum (,), which is individually driven by a motor, and a work station computer (,). The central control unit (,) is connected via a machine bus (,) with the work station computers (,) and with a control device (,) of the service unit (,). Specific winding drum data (x, y), in particular the number of traverses (g) of the winding drum (,) of the work stations (,), are stored in a memory, e.g., integrated in the central control unit (,). During the yarn pickup by means of the yarn lifter (,) of the service unit (,) in the course of a cheese change, the individual electric motor drive (,) of the winding drum (,) is controlled to match the number of revolutions of the winding drum (,) to the number of traverses (g) thereof.
