ABSTRACT:
A control system for a textile dying apparatus processes and distributes digitally encoded pattern information. A substrate is moved on a path along which the surface of the substrate comes into operative range of a plurality of arrays arranged along the path of the substrate. Each of the arrays has a plurality of individual dye applicators capable of selectively projecting a stream of dye onto a predetermined portion of the substrate corresponding to a pattern element in a pattern composed of a pattern element matrix with a plurality of pattern elements in each of a plurality of pattern rows. Each pattern element is associated with a visually distinct pattern area. The dye applicators project dye for a time period determined by the pattern information. The method first determines a set of initial values. From the initial values it generates a firing command matrix having, for each dye applicator in each array, a firing command sequence corresponding to the pattern element to which that dye applicator may apply dye in each pattern rows. Finally, the method allocates, for simultaneous transmission to each dye applicator in each array, the firing command sequence in the firing command matrix corresponding to the pattern element in the pattern row to be applied to the predetermined portion of the substrate that is passing within operative range of the dye applicator at the time of transmission.
