Abstract
A weaving apparatus includes a weaving machine and a shedding machine that carries out activatable and deactivatable movements of the shedding devices with a shedding drive that is controlled independently of a weaving drive of the weaving machine. After detection of an operating malfunction, e.g. a weft fault or a warp fault, the shedding devices are controlled such that measures for eliminating the operating malfunction can be carried out. In that regard, the rotational speed of the weaving machine is reduced, but the shedding machine is further operated at a relatively high rotational speed, preferably without stopping the shedding machine while the malfunction is eliminated. Then, the speed of the weaving machine is increased and again essentially synchronized with the shedding machine, to resume the regular weaving operation.
