Method for Operating a Weaving Machine Comprising a Shedding Machine

Method for operating a weaving machine with a shedding machine, which comprises activatable and deactivatable movements of the shedding means and is driven by a single rotational speed-changeable drive, which is controlled independently of a rotational speed-changeable drive of the weaving machine, whereby in normal weaving operation both drives operate the weaving and the shedding machine essentially synchronously, but during an operating malfunction the operational synchronicity of weaving and shedding machine is released through the control of the drives and the rotational speed of the weaving machine is reduced, characterized in that the movements of the shedding means are controlled in such a manner so that an elimination of the operating malfunction becomes possible and measures for eliminating the operating malfunction are carried out and the shedding machine does not come to a standstill, as long as the measures for the elimination of the operating malfunction are carried out.
