A textile package transport system utilizing transport plates for transporting spinning cops, particularly within a textile machine which produces cheeses. Each transport plate has an information storage medium in the form of a magnet of ferromagnetic material having a high retentivity encodable by selective polarization thereof. Electrically chargeable encoding coils are arranged in the transport system to selectively apply a defined polarity to the magnets. The encoding coils are actuated by way of sensor signals generated as a function of a processing status of the spinning cop and Hall sensors are utilized for detecting the respective polarity of the magnets. Controllable electric switches are disposed in the transport system for controlling the conveyance of the transport plates within the system.
A system for transporting spinning cops in a textile machine, comprising a plurality of transport plates for supporting spinning cops thereon, each transport plate including a magnet formed of ferromagnetic material having a high retentivity and capable of reversing magnetic polarity electromagnetically, at least one electrically chargeable encoding coil arranged in the transport system for selectively applying a defined polarity to any selected magnet, and control means for detecting a characteristic of the spinning cops and actuating the encoding coil as a function of the detected characteristic of each spinning cop.
