Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for detecting breakage in a yarn strand being wound onto a yarn support member rotatably driven by a DC motor and having a closed-loop motor control system for maintaining a desired velocity of the motor and for signaling commutation of the phases of the motor during the yarn winding operation. The closed-loop motor control system monitors the signal conduction angles delivered to commutate the phase windings of the motor, detects a sudden minimum preestablished decrease in the monitored conduction angles, and generates a control signal in response to a sudden decrease in the conduction angle resulting from a yarn strand breakage. The control signal may be employed to stop current supply to the motor.
