Abstract :in this work, a study on replacing design pattern feeding system of a classical jacquard mechanism with that of a computer controlled electronic unit is presented. This unit is named as the Selection Box insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SB);. Selection Box is composed of a set of solenoid matrixes. Selection Box is modelled to replace perforated cards in a classical jacquard mechanism. Solenoids are controlled with an IBM Personal Computer. A full Application Software package in C++ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HL); is developed in order to feed Weaving Pattern drawn in a bitmap format to the Selection Box. Objectives of the Application Software are presented. All hardware components are put into a Model Set-Up and tested with the Application Software.
