4.2 Operating conditions


The operating conditions define the different mechanical, electri-cal and textile conditions of the weaving machine. The current operating status is displayed on the signal column and at the ter-minal.Certain settings can only be made under defined operating con-ditions. For example, machine equipment can only be adjusted in the Emergency Stop condition.The following operating conditions can exist:• Initialization – Weaving machine switches on

– Auto check of the control– Lamp test (all lamps are switched on)

• Safety circuit open – Weaving machine switched on– No Emergency Stop error present– Safety circuit open– Safety circuit can be closed with safety button

• Ready – Weaving machine ready to start weaving– No error present– Safety circuit closed– All weaving machine processes can be carried out

• Weaving – Weaving machine is weaving– Weaving machine running at nominal speed– Stopping the weaving machine with the stop button

• Creep speed – Weaving machine in creep speed mode– Weaving machine running at creep speed– Machine stops once the creep speed button is released or

the selected stop angle has been reached• Pick finding – Weaving machine in pick finding mode

– Weaving machine is pick finding backwards• Shed leveling – Heddles in shed leveling position or in open

shed position– Pick finding clutch open– Terminate the process with the start button

• Manual – Weaving machine in manual operation– The weaving machine can be turned with a special tool

• Set sub-units – Set sub-units– Setting or moving individual sub-units– Terminate the process with the stop button

• Synchronization – The weaving machine must be synchro-nized– Sub-units are not yet synchronized (e.g. angle transmitter)

and must be set up• Fault [textile] – The weaving machine detects textile faults

– Warp break or weft break is present– Weft feeder not ready

• Fault [Mechatronik] – The weaving machine detects a me-chanical or electrical "stop motion"– Safety circuit closed– "Stop motion" is present

• Emergency stop – The weaving machine detects serious mechanical or electrical faults or defects– Safety circuit open– Fault or error is present, Emergency Stop button is activat-

ed• Initialization fault – The weaving machine detects wrong

equipment– Safety circuit open– Wrong hardware or software detected– Wrong equipment (selection of units) detected– The control cannot operate with the current equipment– Perform a re-start or update the software

• Switched off – Weaving machine control switched off– Safety circuit open– Fault detected in electrical supply or hardware– Interruption of mains supply detected (normal function in

the case of switch off)– Malfunction detected in the safety circuit– Re-start required
