Abstract

Elements forming part of a textile machine are controlled and supervised with the aid of a computerized system. This comprises one or more units which serve the element and which together with other units form a network. One or more units can, if necessary, serve more than one element. Each unit is connected to a connection which forms part of the network formed by the units. Message transmission within the system takes place serially and digitally at the connection. The message transmission at the connection includes message types which are ranked from the point of view of priority, and the units and the connection are arranged to discriminate in the message transmission effected so as to guarantee a transmission time, for a finally transmitted message between units concerned, of a maximum of 2.0 ms for at least three different instantaneous signals or trigger signals which are attributable to functions in or on the textile machine.
