Abstract:
A process for monitoring maintenance operations performed by a programmable maintenance device on work stations within an operational zone of a textile machine, the process comprising:setting a specified number for like failed maintenance attempts to be performed in succession by the programmable maintenance device to determine the presence of faults occurring with the programmable maintenance device;performing maintenance attempts by the programmable maintenance device on work stations within the textile machine which require the designated maintenance;counting like failed maintenance attempts performed by the programmable maintenance device on work stations;initiating a preset response function for the programmable maintenance device after the specified number of failed maintenance attempts by the programmable maintenance device has been reached; andresetting the number of failed maintenance attempts to a zero point if a successful like maintenance attempt is accomplished before the specified number of failed maintenance attempts has been reached, which initiates the preset response function.
