CPLD Application in the Development of the Pin Selection Controller in Knitting Machine

By the help of professional CPLD software/hardware development tools like PLD carrier and MAXPLUS, this paper successfully put forward the objective device—Electrical Pin Selection Controller in Circular Weft Knitting Machine, which covers the primary aspects of expected inputs, electrical simulation and verification, programming and downloading, etc. Details have been given on how to apply CPLD in the pin selection controller design. Moreover, introductions have been given to the pin selection mechanism and the design schema.
