  • the main control device 30 also detects the crank angle based on the angular signal ⁇ input from the encoder 28. Furthermore, the main control device 30 outputs a signal (0° signal) ⁇ a indicating the crank angle of 0° to the arithmetic section 65 every time when the crank angle of 0° is detected.
  • the arithmetic section 65 When receiving, as an input, the 0° signal ⁇ a in the state in which the forward-rotation signal is input from the main control device 30, the arithmetic section 65 reads the current value P from the memory section 64 and adds 1 to the current value P, and causes the memory section 64 to store the added numerical value as a new current value P (the current value P stored in the memory section 64 is overwritten). Moreover, when receiving the 0° signal ⁇ a in a state in which a reverse-rotation signal is input from the main control device 30, the arithmetic section 65 reads the current value P from the memory section 64 and subtracts 1 from the current value P, and causes the memory section 64 to store the subtracted numerical value as a new current value P.
  • the current value P stored in the memory section 64 is updated to the numerical value obtained by adding 1 (+1) to the numerical value before passage of 0° every time when the crank angle passes 0° by the forward rotation of the loom. Moreover, the current value P stored in the memory section 64 is updated to the numerical value obtained by subtracting 1 (-1) from the numerical value before passage of 0° every time when the crank angle passes 0° by the reverse rotation of the loom.

  • the start control unit 63 When receiving, as an input, the operation signal S12 from the main control device 30, the start control unit 63 outputs a request signal S14 for the above-described request to the current-value arithmetic unit 62 (the arithmetic section 65). Furthermore, when the current value P is 0, the start control unit 63 reads the set value of the start allowable section from the first memory unit 61 and compares the set value with the current crank angle detected based on the angular signal ⁇ input from the encoder 28. Then, as the result of the comparison, when the crank angle falls within the angular range (241° to 340°) of the start allowable section, the start control unit 63 outputs the operation command signal S4 to the drive control device 50. In other words, the start control unit 63 does not perform the comparison when the current value P is not 0. As the result that the comparison is not performed, the start control unit 63 does not output the operation command signal S4 to the drive control device 50.
  • the operation command signal S4 is output to the drive control device 50 from the start control unit 63 by the operation on the operation button 26 and the loom is restarted normally.
  • the operation command signal S4 is not output from the start control unit 63 although the operation button 26 is operated.

  • “4th (Fast)” indicates a fast-pick cycle whose step number of the pile step is 4.
  • FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating workings of the pile loom when the weft removal work in the period from stop to restart of the loom and the operations on the reverse-rotation button 25 and the operation button 26 are performed by a correct procedure.
  • Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating workings of the pile loom when an operation on the operation button 26 is performed by a wrong procedure.

That is, in the start restriction device 60, the arithmetic unit has the function of reading the current value from the first memory unit 61 and causes a second memory unit 67 to store the current value.
  • a start restriction device 60A includes a current-value transmission unit 66 as the dedicated section, and the current-value transmission unit 66 is connected to the first memory unit 61, the second memory unit 67, and the main control device 30.

  • the start reverse-rotation number is stored as the system data in the first memory unit 61, and to handle weaving with a plurality of types of pile patterns expected in the pile loom, a plurality of start reverse-rotation numbers respectively corresponding to the plurality of types of pile patterns are stored.
  • the plurality of start reverse-rotation numbers corresponding to the plurality of types of expected pile patterns do not have to be stored in the first memory unit. Only start reverse-rotation numbers corresponding to pile patterns that are actually used for weaving may be stored in the first memory unit.

  • the assigned value of the start reverse-rotation number is determined based on a (simple) setting mode that determines the relationship with the pile pattern. Hence, a burden on the operator by the input and setting is small.
  • the input setting device is configured such that, when a pile pattern is set on the pattern setting screen, a start reverse-rotation number corresponding to the pile pattern is automatically set.
  • a program for determining a start reverse-rotation number (assigned value) based on a setting aspect like one described above with reference to the input and set pile pattern is previously installed in the input setting device, and the input setting device is configured such that, when a pile pattern is input and set on the pattern setting screen, the start reverse-rotation number corresponding to the input and set pile pattern is automatically set according to the program.
