Abstract:
Monitoring device for a textile machine, said monitoring device comprising at least two stations (1n) each having a storage in which is stored an identification code associated to it in a fixed manner and means (2n) for generating a first electrical status signal during normal operation of said machine or a second status signal when a preselected abnormal state occurs, said second status signal being encoded with the identification code associated with this station; a common conductor over which said status signals of said at least two stations are transmitted; an electrical circuit coupled with said means of said at least two stations in such a manner that said second status signals are automatically generated in said common conductor when said preselected abnormal state occurs and an evaluation unit associated with said common conductor for receiving the status signals appearing in said common conductor, said evaluation unit having means for detecting the identification code such that the station generating the status signal can be identified therefrom; wherein the monitoring device has only one common conductor for transmission of said status signals and only two status signals are generated by each of said means for generating.
