A method for detecting and remotely managing sensors and/or feeding devices for feeding textile and/or metallic yarns installed on one or more textile machines, wherein each textile machine comprises:
- an electronic control unit electrically connected to said sensors and/or feeding devices for receiving identifiers each associated with one of said sensors and/or feeding devices and data and operating parameters representative of a current or real operating state of said sensors and/or feeding devices installed;
- first communication means operatively associated with said electronic control unit;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- enabling wireless communication between the electronic control unit of the one or more textile machines and a portable electronic device provided with second wireless communication means and with a display interface;
- the electronic control unit transmitting said identifiers of the sensors and/or feeding devices installed on the one or more textile machines to the portable electronic device;
- processing said identifiers to generate, by the portable electronic device, one or more menus with selectable entries each associated with one of said one or more textile machines, each of said menus with selectable entries being representative of the number and type of sensors and/or feeding devices installed on the one or more textile machines;
- displaying said menus with selectable entries on said display interface of the portable electronic device.
