Abstract
An apparatus for electronically controlling a fiber processing machine includes at least one plug-in module group and at least one memory for receiving and storing data. A non-volatile memory is disposed physically apart from the plug-in module group whereby the data inputted in the memory are not lost upon switching off a power supply to the apparatus or upon replacing at least one plug-in module group and whereby upon resuming operation of the apparatus the data may be read and further processed.
Claims9
An apparatus for electronically controlling a fiber processing machine, comprising:
- a system bus;
- at least one plug-in control module adapted to connect to the system bus;
- and
- at least one memory connected to the system bus for receiving and storing data;
- the memory being a non-volatile, electrically erasable and programmable memory, disposed physically apart from said at least one plug-in control module, such that when a supply voltage to the apparatus is shut down, the data are not lost and can be read further without additional equipment when the apparatus is started up again,
- wherein the fiber processing machine comprises a spinning preparation machine, and said memory contains said data, which comprises an indication of elapsed operating hours of the fiber processing machine.
An apparatus for electronically controlling a fiber processing machine, comprising:
- a system bus;
- a plurality of plug-in control modules adapted to connect to the system bus;
- and
- at least one memory connected to the system bus for receiving and storing data;
- the memory being a non-volatile, electrically erasable and programmable memory, disposed physically apart from any of said plurality of plug-in control modules, such that when a supply voltage to the apparatus is shut down, the data are not lost and can be read further without additional equipment when the apparatus is started up again,
- wherein the fiber processing machine comprises a spinning preparation machine, and said memory contains said data, which comprises an indication of elapsed operating hours of the fiber processing machine.
A method of electronically controlling a fiber processing machine, including a system bus, plug-in control modules adapted to connect to the system bus, and at least one memory connected to the system bus for receiving and storing data, the method comprising:
- applying the data to the memory, the memory being a non-volatile, electrically erasable and programmable memory, disposed physically apart from any of said plug-in control modules, such that when a supply voltage to the apparatus is shut down, the data are not lost and can be read further without additional equipment when the apparatus is started up again,
- wherein the fiber processing machine comprises a spinning preparation machine, and said data comprises an indication of elapsed operating hours of the fiber processing machine.
