Abstract: Electromechanical control arrangement for controlling movement sequences in a textile machine, in particular for controlling the warp thread movement in a mechanical loom. The control arrangement includes a control cam, over the face of which a push member runs which effects the movement which is to be controlled; a continuously running drive shaft for the control cam; and a switching or control coupling, which is constructed as a spring coupling, connects the drive shaft and the control cam; and is switched via a magnet in conformity with the control pulses applied thereto, thereby controlling the rotation of the control cam.
