The invention discloses a control system for rotary screen printing machines, which comprises a main controller, an electrical control module, a rotary-screen synchronous control module and a multi-path screen head control unit, wherein the main controller is the core of the whole control system, and used for coordinating the operations of the electrical control module, the rotary-screen synchronous control module and the screen head control unit, receiving and processing data sent from each module, and realizing the mutual cooperation and coordination of the modules, therefore, the main controller is the 'brain' and 'nerve center' of the control system of a whole printing machine. The control system disclosed by the invention adopts a dual-bus structure, therefore, the stability and response speed of system control of the rotary screen printing machine are improved. By using the control system disclosed by the invention, the problem of retaining the precise synchronization performance and efficient automatic registering performance of the ascending and descending speeds of the rotary screen printing machine in the processes of printing and dyeing can be solved, the accidents of fabric breaking, network disconnection, and 'pattern error' can be completely eradicated, and the production efficiency and product quality of equipment can be improved.
