Loom Automation Solution

Objective:

To deliver a high-speed, precision-driven automation system for loom machines using

Siemens S7-1500T CPUs and Sinamics V90 servo drives—ensuring consistent weave

quality, minimal waste, and smart pattern control.

System Architecture by Goose

Component

Description

PLC

Siemens S7-1500 Technology CPU (e.g., 1511T/1515T) for advanced

motion control

Servo Drive

Sinamics V90 with Profinet communication

Servo Motor

Siemens 1FL6 series or V90-compatible motor

HMI

Siemens Comfort Panel for pattern selection, operation, and

diagnostics

Sensors

Proximity, encoder, position sensors, thread break sensors

I/O Modules

Digital & analog I/O for limit switches, sensors, speed control

Communicatin

Fully integrated Profinet network for real-time sync

⚙️ Core Functionalities

1. Precision Motion Control

●Servo-based control of yarn feed, reed, shuttle/rapier motion

●Motion control via PLCopen MC blocks in the Siemens Technology CPU

●Ensures accurate positioning, repeatable patterns, and reduced wastage

2. Pattern Management

●Pre-loaded patterns with HMI-based recipe selection

●Servo-actuated jacquard/dobby mechanisms for intricate designs

●Real-time synchronization with loom’s mechanical elements

3. Speed & Position Synchronization

●Encoder feedback for closed-loop motion

●Real-time speed control using RPM and angle-based weaving logic

●Ensures tight synchronization across all moving parts

4. Operator Interface (HMI)

●Easy pattern selection, speed setup, pick/inch, and mode selection

●Fault display, manual/auto mode, and production stats

●Supports operator-friendly troubleshooting and quick setup

5. Monitoring & Diagnostics

●Real-time thread break detection with auto-stop

●Logs total picks, faults, runtime, and downtime

●Alerts for pattern mismatch, speed errors, and mechanical anomalies
