The invention relates to a method for controlling means of a workstation of a textile machine producing yarn (1) comprising a compensating unit (9) for the compensation of a yarn (1) loop with a compensating member (6, 8) and, optionally, with a rotary drum (7), whereby on the compensating unit (9) are further arranged internal means (10,15) and external means (14, 16) of detecting the compensating unit (9), in which the information from the internal means (10,15) and the external means (14, 16) of detection is used by a controller of work nodes of the workstation for the controlling activity of the control unit (11) and selection of activation of software procedures is performed on the basis of the information about the state in which the workstation is at a given moment (the course of yarn (1) formation and winding, servicing activity).

In addition, the invention also relates to a device for performing the method for controlling means of a workstation of a textile machine producing yarn (1), which comprises a control unit (11) coupled via a bidirectional communication channel to internal means (10, 15) or external means (14,16) of detecting the current state of the compensating unit (9) and to work nodes at the workstation of the textile machine, whereby the control unit (11) is provided with a decision-making and driving controller of the work nodes of the workstation according to the state of the compensating unit (9).

A method is provided for controlling movement and operation of an attending device of a yarn manufacturing textile machine, wherein the attending device moves along a row of workstations arranged next to each other to perform operations at the workstations. The method controls the movement of the attending device along the work stations and operations of the attending device based on success statistics of the operations at the workstations to achieve an overall increased efficiency of the textile machine. An operational stay of the attending device at a particular one of the work stations is terminated without waiting for a result of the operation being performed by the attending device at the particular workstation.
