What was new in OKC 2.2?

Software version: Operating system V_OKC_002.002.000_STOLL

The most important changes in this version:

  • Alternative pattern structure
    You can enter the YLC mode in the Sintral program or in the Setup2 editor.
    Up to now: The YLC mode is defined in the Sintral program.
    New: Enter the YLC mode in the Setup2 editor. This specification is valid for the whole knitting program (START…END).
    You can select the following modes: 0, 1, 5, 7, 8 (0= The specifications of the Sintral program are carried out)
    Notice: The YLC mode in Setup2 has priority over the YLC command in Sintral (Exception for 0)

    During the pattern preparation on the M1plus, mark the areas which the control is to be deactivated for. For doing this, in the control column enter Yarn length control via the area YLC-.

    In the Sintral program, the beginning and the end of the area are marked with YLC(- and YLC-).
    Start: YLC(-
    End: YLC-)
  • YLC5 - generate master piece
    Once the original fabric has been completed, the machine stops automatically. In order to see the stop cause immediately, the reference Knit the original fabric (master piece) once again or change to production (YLC6) appears.
  • Command ASCON replaced by YLC
    All commands ASCON have been renamed YLC.
  • Mode YLC6 – cycle counter inactive
    The cycle counters may not be modified in the YLC6 mode. Therefore the input fields are inactive (grayed out) in the window Cycle counter.
  • YLC6 mode – yarn correction
    If you are working in mode YLC6, it is possible to modify fabric length without having to record the original fabric (Master Piece) again.
    For this purpose, enter a value in the Setup2 Editor in the Yarn correction line (menu Yarn length -> tab YLC5).
    Value range: -10%...+10%
    Notice: The stitch tension is modified for the whole fabric, not for individual areas.
  • Changeable monitoring window
    Display of the effective NP value. It consists of NP value, NPK correction and the current YLC correction value.
    In addition to this, the current correction value is displayed.
  • Log file for the ASCON modes
    In the Log file you can have a look at the mode change with date and time.
    (Window Yarn length control -> additional function keys -> YLC Log)
