Control system data preparation of computer flat knitting machine

To realize the automatic conversion of design patterns to control data on the computer flat knitting machine design,a kind of control system data preparation method for the machine is introduced,which classifies the control system data into five kinds,i.e.,PAT data,CNT data,SYS data,KSD data,and FKD data,along with their definitions and functions.The FKD data conversion algorithm is given.It is compatible with output process data of the most existing design software for flat knitting machines,can conduct individual processing of each pattern data and finally form the FKD data.It is characterized by less computation and less volume of transmission,and is suitable for all kinds of master-slave control system of computer flat knitting machines.Practice has proven that this control system data preparation method for computer flat knitting machines is effective.
