Electronic jacquard machine is the main knitting equipment now, and its control system is the device’s core component that can influence working performance. This paper introduces design and implementation of the Electronic Jacquard Control System for the warp woof knitting machine, and it is a high performance and scalable control system. The hardware of control system is designed with modular hierarchical method. The system contains hardware buffer and ensure reliable operation in real time, can continue weaving after outages, while, with sufficient flexibility and maintainability, can be adapted to different needs of different grades of carpet jacquard equipment. Control system supports a variety of pattern data input, providing flower pattern compilation features real-time visualization of dynamic control of the weaving process to improve the efficiency of the weaving machine. Control system based on general hardware and software platform: ARM9 and Embedded Linux operating system.
