Abstract

A system for controlling the displacement motion of a carriage working machine which is capable of displacing along a track arranged along ends of spinning machines installed in parallel as a group, wherein an automatic apparatus for carrying out a certain part of the process by these spinning machines is rigidly or detachably mounted on a carriage. In this system, when a spinning machine outputs a forecast signal to call the working machine, the forecast signal is registered in a registration table. After the working machine has arrived at a position on the track adjacent to the particular spinning machine, and it is confirmed that the particular spinning machine can accept the operation of the automatic apparatus of the working machine, then the automatic apparatus starts to carry out its operation. Thereafter, a particular spinning machine to which the operation of the automatic apparatus should be applied with the first priority is selected based upon data registered in the registration table, and the travel direction of the working machine is determined based upon the frame number of the above-mentioned particular spinning machine and the present position of the working machin…
