SMART MATRIX FEEDER 3.9
Automatic Parameter Multiplation
In Knit applications, the ULTRAFEEDER/ROLLING FEEDER/UNIFEEDER devices which control the various
yarns of each feed can be programmed with different parameters, depending on the needs.
This would require setting the parameters yarn-by-yarn; considering the large amount of involved yarns, the
Article Programming (STYLE EDIT) operation would require a lot of time.
However, since in circular knitting machines all the feeds typically use an identical yarn sequence, the
system gives you the possibility of programming the yarn control parameters for just one feed; then it will
automatically repeat the programming sequence for the remaining feeds.
 To use this feature, you must enable the STYLE MULTIPLATION option in the STYLE OPTION menu
item.
Example 1: supposing that you want to program the parameters for a Knit application which uses 10
FEEDS, each one consisting of 6 yarns (FINGERS) (resulting in a total of 60 yarns), the programming task
could be the following:
GROUP #1 001/001 Parameters for 1
st
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #2 002/002 Parameters for 2
nd
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #3 003/003 Parameters for 3
rd
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #4 004/004 Parameters for 4
th
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #5 005/005 Parameters for 5
th
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #6 006/006 Parameters for 6
th
yarn of the 1
st
feed
Doing so, the system acknowledges that you have programmed 6 different parameters within a configuration
that uses 60 yarns, then it will automatically program the sequence 001/006 for additional 9 times, in order to
complete all 60 yarns.
 The number of groups must be a sub-multiple of the total yarn number.
Example 2: supposing that you want to program the parameters for a Knit application which uses 8 FEEDS,
each one consisting of 5 cotton yarns (FINGERS) + 8 elastomers (to be programmed with the same
parameters) (resulting in a total of 48 yarns), the programming task could be the following:
GROUP #1 001/001 Parameters for 1
st
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #2 002/002 Parameters for 2
nd
yarn of the 1
st
feed
GROUP #3 003/003 Parameters for 3
rd

GROUP #4 004/004 Parameters for 4
th

feed
GROUP #5 005/005 Parameters for 5

GROUP #6 041/041 Parameters for 6
