Method for operating a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, and a textile machine producing cross-wound packages

A method for operating a textile machine producing cross-wound packages and has a plurality of autonomous workstations, which each have a spinning device and a winding device and are equipped with a suction nozzle for receiving a thread from the surface of a cross-wound package, which suction nozzle is connected to a negative-pressure network of the textile machine, and with a storage nozzle for temporarily storing excess thread length, which storage nozzle is likewise connected to the negative-pressure network, the textile machine being served at least by one service unit, which doffs full cross-wound packages for empty tubes as needed,

• characterised in that,
• in the piecing up of the autonomous workstations of the textile machine again after a technical problem that caused all the workstations of the textile machine to be switched off, the service units are prevented from performing cross-wound package/empty-tube doffing during the piecing-up operations of the workstations, thus ensuring the maximum number of workstations is simultaneously pieced up again in the piecing up of the autonomous workstations.
