Designing of networked monitoring system for overflow dyeing machines

In conventional processing using overflow dyeing machines,the consistency of dyeing technology,the quality of dyed products,and the energy consumption per unit are seriously affected by human factor.To solve these problems,a kind of networked monitoring system for overflow dyeing machines was put forward.In this system,by being networked with each others through RS485 bus,the dyeing controllers were utilized to be slave controllers.The master control computer with system monitoring software was configured.The centralized monitoring functions of sending down the parameters of dyeing production technology to dyeing machines,remote display of dynamical running status,saving of historical data,and error analysis were realized.It is approved by the test case that the maximum dyeing errors can be controlled in 0.5%,dye uptake time and power consumption can be reduced by 5-8 minutes,15%,respectively.
