Cycle Counter RS17 with different Fabric Widths (with fully fashion)

Production with RS17 with fully fashion fabrics:

Via the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0, the activation / deactivation of the comb function is coupled to the piece counter.
Additional Sintral function FF-TRANS is required when using the cycle counter RS17 with fully fashion.
This function regulates the transition between the single fabric pieces.

End width same as start-width: no special transition is necessary.
End width larger than start-width: Surplus stitches are cast-off except the required start-width.
End width smaller than start-width: protection yarn is used to widen up to the needed start-width.

Behavior of the run-throughs (piece number) when using RS17

With quantity of run-throughs: =1:

1: For the one fabric piece, the comb and the clamping / cutting are active.

2: All yarn carriers are taken out of the clamp before the start and knitted-in.

3: The fabric is cast-off at the end via a cast-off function in the Sintral.

With quantity of run-throughs: >1:

I. First fabric:

1: The first piece works with Comb since RS17=0 is set.

2: All yarn carriers are taken out of the clamp before the start and knitted-in.

3: The Comb thread is clamped after knitting, since it is only needed for the first piece.

4: All other yarn carriers are positioned at the fabric selvedge for the following pieces.

5: At the fabric end the RS17 is set to =1 with the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0, as the piece counter is >1. This way no cast-off is carried out at the fabric end.

6: Afterwards, the Sintral function FF-TRANS is called-up for comparing the shape counters ant the required transition rows are processed.

II. The following fabric pieces:

1: All the following fabrics are processed without comb and clamping / cutting.

2: No cast-off is carried out at the end of these fabrics.

3: Execution of the Sintral function FF-TRANS for the transition to the next fabric piece.

III. Last fabric piece of the piece counter:

1: The last fabric piece is processed without comb and clamping / cutting.

2: At the end of the last piece, the piece counter is checked by the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0 and this way is set RS17 = 0.

3: With RS17 =0 the yarn carriers are brought into the clamps and then the fabric piece is cast-off.
