Development and application of slub yarn process management information system

Aiming at solving the problems of labor and time consuming as well as error-prone in parameters setting for a slub yarn controller,this paper developed a slub yarn process management information system based on Visual Basic 6.0 and King View 6.53 within the framework of Ethernet,realizing easy and rapid setting of parameters,including slub length,pitch length and slub multiple.All controllers can communicate through Ethernet to server using networking technology.Parameters from Excel stored in the database were transmitted to the controllers through Ethernet.So the system realized database management and networking transmission of slub yarn parameters.The practical application proves that the system can improve production efficiency,avoid setting errors,and reduce the labor intensity and preparation time.
