As a result, since the operation panel 22 is directed obliquely upward, there is an effect that the operator can easily see the display information in the operation panel 22 and the operation of the operation panel 22 is easy.

On the operation panel 22, an operation confirmation target display section 32, a display switching section 33, and an operation switch 34 are arranged in this order from the upper side. The operation confirmation target display unit 32 has an upper digit display 32a and a lower digit display 32b. These indicators 32a and 32b are composed of 7-segment LEDs, and can display the input system number or symbol "A0-BF" of the input / output device and the output system number or symbol "C0-DF".

Further, to the side of the display switching section 33 (right side in the figure)
A mode valid / invalid changeover switch 38 is arranged in the. The mode valid / invalid changeover switch 38 is composed of a single DIP switch, and is capable of switching the operation mode set by the machine control device 2 to either valid or invalid.

Further, the operation confirmation display 31 is embedded in the operation switch 34. The operation confirmation display 31 is
It is composed of a high-intensity LED or the like, and is switched under the control of the unit controller 21 to notify the operator of the operating state of the input device. That is, for example, when the thread detection sensor 10 is designated as the operation check target, the operation confirmation display 31 is turned on when the thread detection sensor 10 detects the thread 7 and turned off when the thread detection sensor 10 does not detect the thread 7. It has become. The operation confirmation display unit 31 is designed to notify the operator of the state of the input device by switching between the lighting state and the extinguishing state, but the state of the input device can be changed by switching the display color at the time of lighting. The operator may be notified.

The winding unit 1 configured as described above
Each have a unique unit number (m1 to mn). Then, the machine control device 2 connected to the winding unit 1 via the common communication cable 26 selects the winding unit 1 by the unit number, and selects the selected unit 1.
A winding unit selection function is provided for remotely changing the setting of the operation mode for one or a plurality of winding units 1. That is, the operator is the machine controller 2
By performing a predetermined operation with respect to, the required operation mode of the winding unit 1 can be set or changed. In addition, the machine control device 2 includes an operation mode setting unit 2a capable of selecting and operating an arbitrary operation mode from a plurality of operation modes including an operation confirmation mode. Further, the machine control device 2 includes a display device (not shown), and has a list display function capable of displaying a list showing the correspondence between device numbers and symbols and output devices.

A method of confirming the operation of the output device and the input device in the winding unit 1 in the above configuration will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the winding unit 1 to be checked for operation has the operation switch 34 in the stopped state (OFF state) and the winding is stopped. First, when checking the operation of the output device,
As shown in FIG. 3, after the operator selects the output operation confirmation mode from the operation modes in the machine control device 2, by performing a communication instruction operation, a mode signal including data of the output operation confirmation mode is taken up for each winding. It transmits to the unit 1 via the communication cable 26. At this time, if the operator does not specify the unit number, the take-up unit 1 is not selected, so that the mode signal from the machine control unit 2 is fetched by all the take-up units 1. Further, when the unit number is designated, only the winding unit 1 corresponding to this unit number will fetch the mode signal. Then, the output operation confirmation mode is provisionally set for all or some of the winding units 1 that have taken in the mode signal (S1).

The reason why the output operation confirmation mode is temporarily set instead of being set is that even when the winding unit 1 is executing a normal winding operation, even if the mode signal from the machine control unit 2 is taken in. The mode valid / invalid changeover switch 38 is set to the invalid state so as to invalidate the setting by the mode signal. As a result, even if the operation is performed to set the winding unit 1 in the output operation confirmation mode on the machine control device 2 side, in the winding unit 1, unless the mode valid / ineffective changeover switch 38 is valid, The normal winding operation can be continued only by provisionally setting.

Next, the operator moves to the winding unit 1 for checking the operation, and the operation panel 2 of the winding unit 1 is moved.
The mode valid / invalid changeover switch 38 provided in No. 2 is switched to the valid state (S2). As a result, the winding unit 1 cancels the temporary setting of the output operation confirmation mode and switches to a state in which signals from the operation switch 34 of the operation panel 22 and the display switching unit 33 can be received.

After that, the upper digit display changeover switch 33a and the lower digit display changeover switch 3 in the display changeover unit 33.
3b is switched. At this time, the high-order digit display 32a and the low-order digit display 32b of the operation check target display unit 32 switch and display the device numbers and symbols in accordance with the switching operation of the switches 33a and 33b. As a result, the operator can select the output device to be the operation confirmation target while visually observing the display of the operation confirmation target display unit 32 (S
3). It should be noted that the operator can refer to the machine control device 2 by displaying a table showing the correspondence between the device numbers and symbols and the output devices on the screen.

When the selection of the output device to be checked for operation is completed, the operation switch 34 is turned from the OFF position to the ON position to perform a switching operation, whereby the display switching unit 3 is operated.
The output device selected in 3 is activated. Then, if the output device operates normally, the operator visually confirms this operating state to determine that the output device is normal. On the other hand, if the output device does not operate or operates abnormally, it is determined that the output device itself is abnormal or the connection between the output device and the unit controller 21 is abnormal (S4). After that, if there is an output device for which the operation is to be continuously checked, the output device is selected by the display switching unit 33, and the operation switch 34 is rotated to switch the output device as described above. Check the operation.

Next, in the case of confirming the operation of the input device, as shown in FIG. 4, after the operator selects the input operation confirmation mode from the operation modes in the machine control device 2, the communication instruction operation is performed. By doing so, a mode signal including data of the input operation confirmation mode is transmitted to each winding unit 1 via the communication cable 26. At this time, if the operator does not specify the unit number, the take-up unit 1 is not selected, so that the mode signal from the machine control unit 2 is fetched by all the take-up units 1. Further, when the unit number is designated, only the winding unit 1 corresponding to this unit number will fetch the mode signal. Then, the input operation confirmation mode is provisionally set for all or some of the winding units 1 that have taken in the mode signal (G1).

Next, the operator moves to the winding unit 1 for checking the operation, and the operation panel 2 of the winding unit 1 is moved.
The mode valid / invalid changeover switch 38 provided in No. 2 is switched to the valid state (G2). As a result, the winding unit 1 releases the temporary setting of the input operation confirmation mode, becomes able to receive a signal from the display switching unit 33 of the operation panel 22, and the input device that is the operation confirmation target is in the operating state. For example, the operation confirmation display 31 is switched to a state in which it is turned on.

After that, the upper digit display changeover switch 33a and the lower digit display changeover switch 3 in the display changeover unit 33.
3b is switched. At this time, the high-order digit display 32a and the low-order digit display 32b of the operation check target display unit 32 switch and display the device numbers and symbols in accordance with the switching operation of the switches 33a and 33b. Thereby, the operator can select the input device to be the operation confirmation target while visually observing the display of the operation confirmation target display unit 32 (G
3). It should be noted that the operator can display a table showing the correspondence between the device numbers and symbols and the input devices on the machine control device 2 for reference.

When the selection of the input device to be checked for operation is completed, the selected input device is operated so as to be in the operating state. For example, when the thread detection sensor 10 is selected as the input device of the operation confirmation target, the thread detection sensor 10
An inspection member such as a yarn is arranged in the inspection area of. Then, if the input device operates normally, the operation confirmation display unit 31 becomes a display state (lighting) indicating the operating state of the input device, and the operator visually confirms this display state.
Determine that the input device is normal. On the other hand, when the operation confirmation display 31 is not in the display state (lighted), it is determined that there is an abnormality in the input device itself or the connection between the input device and the unit controller 21 (G4). After that, if there is an input device for which operation confirmation is to be continuously performed, that input device is selected by the display switching unit 33, and the operation confirmation display device is operated by operating the input device as described above. Check the display state of 31.

As described above, the yarn winding machine of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of winding units 1 arranged side by side as shown in FIG. 2, and the input / output devices of each winding unit 1 are connected to the unit controller. The operation can be confirmed while selecting via the display unit 21. In the output operation confirmation mode, each winding unit 1 can select the output device to be the operation confirmation target in the input / output device by the switching operation. (Output device selecting means) and an operation switch 34 (operation switch means) capable of driving / stop switching operation and driving the output device. Further, the unit controller 21 includes a calculation unit 23 (operation confirmation drive unit 41) capable of executing a program for operating the output device selected by the display switching unit 33 in response to a drive operation of the operation switch 34. Has been

According to the above configuration, when the operator selects an output device by operating the display switching section 33 in the output operation confirmation mode, this output device becomes the operation confirmation target and the operation switch 34 makes the operation confirmation target. It is possible to operate only the output device. As a result, the operating state can be confirmed by the movement such as rotation of the output device such as the motor. Therefore, the winding unit 1 is not required to perform a series of operations such as connecting a portable inspection tool to the winding unit 1 to establish communication and operating the portable inspection tool to inspect as in the related art. The output device of each winding unit 1 can be easily inspected by a simple operation of the display switching section 33 and the operation switch 34, and as a result, the inspection of the yarn winding machine can be completed in a short time.
