Method and device for controlling a selection device with solenoids for a weaving machine

Device for energising a number of solenoids (1) of a hook selection device for a weaving machine, comprising an electrical power supply source (V1) connected to the solenoids (1) and a regulating device for regulating the current intensity in the solenoids characterised in that per solenoid the regulating device comprises:

• a comparator (3) provided for comparing the current intensity in the solenoid (1) to a reference current intensity and a controllable current regulator, which is provided for regulating the current intensity in the solenoid (1) in order to reach or approach the reference current intensity, and that the regulating device comprises an electronic control circuit (2a, 2b) that is provided in order with several solenoids to control the current regulator (M1) of each solenoid (1) in order to reduce a deviation between the actual current intensity in the solenoid (1) and the reference current intensity measured by the comparator (3) of the solenoid (1).
