A control system for plumbing equipment includes a user interface and a main controller. Only the user interface is customized and unique to a specific model of the plumbing equipment, and stores main software program that is tailored to operate the particular components of that specific model. The main controller is generic and is able to be used on several different models of the plumbing equipment. Upon activation of the control system the main software program is transferred to the main controller which configures the main controller to operate the specific model of the plumbing equipment.

摘要:
A unified modular system of drives and controls for a mobile robotic application includes a first control module that covers a full range of commonly used speeds and motions. Second and subsequent drive modules can be chained to the first drive module for more complex motion control. Control modules for different functions can be interchangeably plugged into the first drive module to control lt he first drive module and the second and subsequent drive modules to enable the motor complex motions. The drive modules and control modules include a common bus that enables addition of new functions to create new machines for different applications.

An automatic drawing-in machine separates warp yarn ends from one another and presents a separated end portion to a pick-up location in alignment with harness components such as a heald and/or a drop wire and/or a reed gap which have themselves been brought to their intended drawing-in positions by different, separately operated systems. Then a drawing-in member engages the yarn end and pulls it through the designed harness component(s). The drawing-in machine (SE) contains a drawing-in member, an arrangement for manipulating the individual harness elements, and a control stage (SM) for controlling the various functions of the drawing-in machine. The latter is composed of modules (PM, SM, XM, AM) for the various functions. The individual modules forming functional, independent units and being connected to one another via interfaces. The modules are controlled by a higher-level computer of the control stage (SM), via which the cross connections between the individual modules also run. The module autonomy enables increased redundancy of individual functions and enables them to be activated individually. In effect, the individual functions depend on one another only to a very small degree and faults are simple to localize.
