5.1 Background
A short review Setup-data were introduced for CMS machines (starting with ST 711) in 1998.
Following data can be saved to the setup-file:
WMF(Fabric take-down menu)
NP (All NP values)
YD (Position of yarn carriers a
t the fabric selvedge)
MSEC (indirect MSEC-se
tting)
YLC (Yarn Length Control STIXX/ASCON)
This was
the first step to write the patte
rn related parameters into a separate
file. The purpose is to reduce the time of setting up the machine.
Some pattern related parameters were still written in Sintral functions
. Leading
to setup work when converting the pattern for other machines.
You can use the extended setup data from
now on.
In order to distinguish them they will be called Setup2 and the previous data
Setup1.
The targ
et of Setup2 Transferring a pattern from one machine to
another without changing the
Sintral program.
Setup2 is extended by the following parameters:
Ya
rn carrier staggering (YD / YDI)
Correcting the Normal Yarn Carriers (
YC / YCI
)
Cycle Counters
Racking
Corrections
Correction of the stitch length of the righ
t carriage with tandem operation
(NPR)
Yarn length control at the left and right-hand side
Correction value for clamping de
