System for monitoring looms in weaving mill

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media having stored thereon instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:

• instructions configured to manage, by a host computer, fixed IP addresses to be assigned to loom computers respectively coupled to looms installed in a weaving mill,
• instructions configured to store, by the host computer, a loom layout map indicating where the looms are located in the weaving mill;
• instructions configured to transmit, by each of the loom computers, a temporary IP address acquisition request signal via a network to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to acquire a temporary IP address from the DHCP server when a fixed IP address is not set for the loom computer;
• instructions configured to transmit, by the loom computer that acquires the temporary IP address, a fixed IP address assignment request signal via the network to the host computer using the acquired temporary IP address;
• instructions configured to assign, by the host computer, to the loom computer that transmitted the assignment request signal a corresponding fixed IP address;
• instructions configured to shift the host computer to a correlating mode when the assignment of the fixed IP address to each of the loom computers that transmitted the assignment request signal is completed, wherein the correlating mode correlates the fixed IP addresses assigned to the loom computers that transmitted the assignment request signal with the loom layout map;
• and
• instructions configured to display an acquisition completion switch on each of the loom computers that transmitted the assignment request signal so that an acquisition signal is transmitted from the loom computers to the host computer in a designated order based on the loom layout map;
• instructions configured to, when each of the loom computers that transmitted the assignment request signal registers the assigned fixed IP address in lieu of the temporary IP address and detects an operation to the acquisition completion switch, transmit the acquisition signal from each of the loom computers using the fixed address to the host computer;
• and
• instructions configured to, when the host computer receives the acquisition completion signal, correlate, by the host computer, the fixed IP address of each of the loom computers that transmitted the acquisition completion signal with the loom layout map in accordance with the designated order.
