Abstract: Because of the limits of the traditional fieldbus control system,the technology background and feasibility of applying the industrial Ethernet network to the field of supervision and controlling of dyeing machines were studied.Especially the architecture of this network including its hardware components and software components was researched.The network was realized using the ADAM5000 Ethernet modules and the software including the dyeing control process software and the production management software was developed.The results show that the dyeing machines network based on the industrial Ethernet network has the advantages of building network simply,developing and maintaining easily and performing well and so on,and will provide some better realistic instructions on realizing the communication standardization of textile industry,the automatization and the informatization of the dyeing industry.
