TMS Scanner (TOYOTA MONITORING SYSTEM SCANNER)
4.3.1
TMS Scanner Overview
Use of the TMS (Toyota Monitoring System) scanner exclusively for the JAT710 loom will enable the
operation data of other weaving machines (JAT610, LW600, and looms of other makes) to be col-
lected and displayed by the TMS. (Fig. 1)
In the TMS scanner, the data collection board (LTB3) collects the loom parallel monitor signals as
the operation data. The dedicated computer (TMS scanner PC) collects and stores the data of all
looms by serial communication from LTB3.
The TMS can collect data from the TMS scanner PC, and summarize the operation data of the
JAT710 and the TMS scanner PC into the same report and graph.
