1 Scope

GB/T 43018.4-2025 is the fourth part of the Chinese standard on interconnection and interoperation for textile equipment, and it covers knitting machinery. A knitting mill runs circular and flat machines from several makers, each with its own protocol and its own idea of what a production record contains, and joining them to a single production system has until now been a bespoke project every time. This part defines the common ground for knitting: the information model of a knitting machine and of the objects it reports, the machine state, the pattern or programme, the yarn feed, the needle and cylinder data, the production count, the stop causes and the quality events, together with the communication interfaces and services, the data formats, and the requirements on interoperation between machine, cell controller and the plant systems above them. For a knitting machine builder, a mill modernising its plant or an integrator in China, this is the interface the parties are expected to meet at.

This document specifies the interconnection and interoperability architecture, basic requirements, information model, and data dictionary requirements for knitting equipment. This document is applicable to guiding the design and integration of interconnection and interoperability systems for knitting equipment such as flat knitting machines, circular knitting machines, and warp knitting machines.
