A method and system detect and remotely manage sensors and/or devices for feeding textile and/or metallic yarns on textile machines. Each textile machine includes an electronic control unit electrically connected to the sensors and/or feeding devices for receiving identifiers associated with a sensor and/or feeding device, and data and operating parameters representing a sensor and/or feeding device operating state. A first communication system is associated with the electronic control unit. Wireless communication between the electronic control unit and a portable electronic device is by a second wireless communication system with a display interface. The electronic control unit transmits the identifiers to the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device processes the identifiers to generate menus with selectable entries associated with the textile machines. Each menu represents the number/type of sensors and/or feeding devices installed. The main menu is displayed with selectable entries on the portable electronic device display interface.

A loom monitoring system includes loom computers and a host computer connected to the loom computers through a network. Each loom computer acquires a temporary IP address from a DHCP server when a fixed IP address is not set for the loom computer and requests the host computer to transmit a fixed IP address using the temporary IP address. The host computer assigns a fixed IP address to the loom computer that transmitted the assignment request signal and correlates the fixed IP address with a loom layout map. The loom computers each transmit an acquisition completion signal to the host computer using the fixed IP address in a designated order based on the loom layout map. The host computer correlates the fixed IP address of each loom computer with the loom layout map in accordance with the designated order.
