Development of the Pattern Preparing System for Fully Automatic Flat Knitting Machine Which Based on Embedded Technology

Abstract:

A new controlling system of fully automatic flat machine based on embedded technology is introduced in the paper. The computer is replaced by a 32 bits micro-processor and its expansions in the system, it downloads data that has been handled by the pattern preparing system, then sends the data to corresponding address of chips, in this way knitting is implemented. As an important part of the controlling system, the pattern preparing system provides programming interface to the users, and handles the work information in the users’ file. Work information is saved in the computer which is used as the server. Functions of every block, structure of software and data structure adopt of the pattern preparing system are described in detail.
