In order to meet the factory detection requirements of the rotary electronic dobby, a new design of the detecting platformfor the rotary electronic dobby was proposed in the present study. It was composed with three main modules to meetthe different levels of detecting process all over the factory, including the embedded control system, human machineinterface system and the information management system. For the information management system of the dobbyworkshop, the proposed platform performed the remote management, results monitor, and data analysis to the dobbymanufactured at the factory. For the operators of the dobby detecting process, the human machine interface systemrealized the edit of pattern, the upload and download of the pattern data based through Wi-Fi, the control of motor speed,the test process record and the upload of the test results. Moreover, the embedded control system was developed andbuilt to realize the real-time control to electromagnet and swing arms of dobby according to the pattern stored in flashchip and status display of the detecting results on the platform. The designed detecting platform in this article can bewidely applied in the factory for detection of the rotary electronic dobby. The reliability and practicability of the proposedplatform have been confirmed by the practical application of the dobby manufacturing enterprise.
