Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the control of a power-loom yarn feed device, whereby a drive motor for a rotating winding element is accelerated, decelerated or stopped, on demand, for yarn storage and, in order to avoid slack yarn during the stopping of the motor, the motor is independently driven slowly during a crawl phase, such that the motor is first stopped and then after stopping is slowly rotated in the crawl phase.
