“Yes”. Note: the parameter value will automatically change into “No” at the end

of one design embroidering.

3. Brake Adjustment (A Must for New Machine)

This function is to adjust the control parameters for braking, so as to fit machines

of different mechanical characteristics, which also change with the machine

running. Thus this function can help the machinery parts to work better with the

computer. The function depends on the two parameters “Set Brake Para” and

“Main Motor Para.”.

72 BECS- C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual


Chapter 5 Managing of Parameters

“Set Brake Para” is to adjust the stop position of the main shaft. When the main

shaft often stops at less than 100 degree, the user can increase the parameter value.

When the main shaft often stops at more than 100 degree, the user can decrease

the parameter value. Thus the user can adjust the value to let the main shaft stop

close to 100 degree. The value can be set between 0 and 30.

“Main Motor Para.” is to adjust cooperation between main shaft motor and

machinery parts. The parameter value can be set between 0 and 30, and set as 0 in

most situations. When during braking the main shaft vibrate without moving or

rotate in the reverse direction, the user can increase the parameter value.

Chapter 10 D type sequin embroidery

10-1 Brief introduction on sequin embroidery

Sequin embroidery is composed of sequins and threads. We choose those hard

materials with smooth surfaces as the sequins. Embroidery works will be shining

with these sequins attached. Design with Sequin codes has its own way of

designing.

D type multi-sequin embroidery of BECS-C18 machine is divided into two groups:

one is normal multi-sequin design, made by normal design making method. The

other one is special multi-sequin design made by normal design software with

special making method attached.

For normal one, you should set sequin mode when you modify the color-changing

order. Special multi-sequin design can be directly embroidered after modification

of color-changing order.

Meanwhile, the machine can automatically change normal design to special design

during the process of design import. The special design saves all the sequin of

normal design as sequin A. If you want further modification, you can use “sequin

edit” to modify.

Note: see appendix 4 for detailed design making rules.

A. Applied Scope:

This system applies to sequin embroidering control system which combines

normal embroidering mechanism and sequin sending mechanism.

compensation, the needle will not fall in the right position. Adjust this parameter

value to ensure that the needle falls in the center of tape.

During machine debugging, parameter value should be “0” when needle falls in

the center of tape. If not, repeat the adjustment to realize the best effect.

Generally, this parameter is managed by professional experts before leaving

factory.

7. D44 M Axis Work OFF Angle: 0, 90

In case of normal and sequin embroidery, the M axis stops at the angle of the set

value. When the distance between the normal embroidery head and special

embroidery head is small, this parameter must be set as 90° to avoid bumping.

8. D39 Z Shift Control Angle: 0~180

When the rotating angle is larger than the set value, the Z axis will wing faster.

9. D41 Adj Zig Rod Angle: 1~3

It is the starting angle of the rod, which indicates the relative position of the needle

bar and thread. It is used for embroidery quality. “1” means the swing starts at an

early angle; “2” means the swing postpones certain angle; “3” indicates the swing

postpones certain angle again to start.

12-7 Mechanical Category and Driving Mode Choice of Special

Embroidery Machines

Taping machines have three moving parts in the sense of mechanics. We define

them as M axis, E axis and clamp foot axis. M axis rotates a certain degrees every

stitch to trace the stitch, which ensures cords or tapes always in front of needle

movement. E axis swings once every one or two stitch to make the Zigzag

embroidery. Clamp foot axis is for lifting and lowering the clamp foot.

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 161


Chapter 12 Directions on Coiling, Taping and Zigzag Embroidery

1. M axis

The mechanism of M axis can be divided to two types. One is with clutch

device, whose action is controlled by electric valve or by hand. Its advantage is

that only the M axis of the patching embroidery is moving and non-patching

embroidery heads are still when mending. This will help raise the quality and

efficiency of patching. The other type is without clutch device. Both of the two

types are driven by servomotor and the origin of the M axis is positioned by

proximity switch.

2. E axis

According to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch

for positioning, E axis can be divided to the following types:

1) Stepping motor, driving heads separately, without proximity switch for

positioning

2) Stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, with proximity switch for

positioning

3) Stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, without proximity switch for

positioning

4) Servomotor driving, with proximity switch for positioning

3. Clamp foot axis

The working diagram of the clamp foot: (The clamp foot working height is the

interval of the foot’s movement with every stitch. The clamp foot rising height is

the foot’s moving distance from the bottom to the upper point in non-embroidery

According to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch

for positioning, the clamp foot axis can be divided to the following types:

1) Raising the clamp foot manually

In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam

and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by hand.

2) 2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without

the holding force and proximity switch

It uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head

and controlling its working height and limited height. The power is off and there is

no the holding force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point or bottom point.

No proximity switch is taken for positioning. And the controller by default takes

that the foot is at the bottom position when turning on the machine.

3) 2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, with the

holding force and without proximity switch

It uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 163


Chapter 12 Directions on Coiling, Taping and Zigzag Embroidery

and controlling its working height and limited height. The power is on and there is

the holding force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point, but not at the

bottom point. No proximity switch is taken for positioning. And the controller by

default takes that the foot is at the bottom position when turning on the machine.

4) Mono-phase AC motor, driving the embroidery heads by one motor, 2

proximity switches

In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam

and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by one mono-phase AC motor

driving the clamp axis. Both the upper and bottom points are set with a proximity

switch to adjust the clamp foot rising height. Neither the upper nor bottom point

has the holding force.

5) (2-phase or 3-phase) stepping motor, driving the embroidery heads by one

motor, 1 proximity switch

In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam

and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by stepping motor driving the

clamp axis. The upper point is set with a proximity switch to position. The bottom

point is set by parameters. Both the upper and bottom points have the holding

force.

6) Pneumatic motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without

proximity switch.

In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam

and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by pneumatic motor driving the

Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

1、 Dahao special multi-sequin design

The normal design making system identify a sequin code as a jump stitch, but

it can not distinguish sequin combinations from one stitch position. For instance,

it can not recognize it’s a sequin A or B at one stitch position. Dahao special

multi-sequin design making is to add a few jump stitch codes after the original

sequin code(jump stitch or stitch length is less than 0.1mm)to indicate sequin

combination. Thus achieve embroidering overlap sequin on one stitch position.

For instance, “A+C” means overlap sequin of A and C.

Rule is as follows:

The value of sequin A is 1,we use 1 sequin code.

The value of sequin B is 2,we use 1 sequin code plus 1 jump stitch.

The value of sequin A+B is 3,we use 1 sequin code plus 2 jump stitches.

The value of sequin C is 4,we use 1 sequin code plus 3 jump stitches.

The value of sequin A+C is 5,we use 1 sequin code plus 4 jump stitches.

The value of sequin B+C is 6,we use 1 sequin code plus 5 jump stitches.

The value of sequin A+B+C is 7,we use 1 sequin code plus 6 jump

stitches.

The value of sequin D is 8,we use 1 sequin code plus 7 jump stitches.

The value of sequin A+D is 9,we use 1 sequin code plus 8 jump stitches.

The value of sequin B+D is 10,we use 1 sequin code plus 9 jump stitches.

184 BECS- C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

The value of sequin A+B+D is 11,we use 1 sequin code plus 10 jump

stitches.

The value of sequin C+D is 12,we use 1 sequin code plus 11 jump stitches.

The value of sequin A+C+D is 13,we use 1 sequin code plus 12 jump

stitches.

The value of sequin B+C+D is 14,we use 1 sequin code plus 13 jump

stitches.

The value of sequin A+B+C+D is 15,we use 1 sequin code plus 14 jump

stitches.

2、 Making trace for multi-sequin

By using trace, we can easily input sequin or sequin combinations. Example:

A, B, A+B, C, A+C, B+C, A+B+C, D, A+D, B+D, A+B+D, C+D, A+C+D,

B+C+D, A+B+C+D, etc.

We here take sequin B designing as an example.

1) Open any design making software. First we zoom in the blank to certain

scale(it is for easily input sequins in a place)and go into sequin state.

2) Input a sequin.

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 185


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

3) Since the value of sequin B is 2, we should put 2 sequins in here, which

means, we have to add another sequin.

4) Continue to type in other single-stitches.

5) You can see “stitch list” shows 2 sequins as the following image.

6) Select all stitches.

186 BECS- C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

7) Making trace, group is JP, name is JP-B

8) Type in two reference point.

3、 Single needle multi-sequin, you can use “stitch form -> trace ->

apply”. Then “manual stitch” to finish entering.

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 187


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

4、 Others (curve)can apply trace too.

1) Click sequin button to enter “sequin state” (this is to ensure all the

curve course have sequin). Enter the curve as the following.

188 BECS- C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

2) Select a target.

3) Set “target properties” and select related trace.

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 189


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

4) “multi-sequin” input is finished.

5、 Making alternate sequin

This is to realize embroidering of different sequin alternate. For instance,

A1B1 embroidery to realize embroidering A, B, A, B…

1) First you should design alternate trace. As the following A1B1

alternate design:

190 BECS- C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

2) Apply the above trace to achieve alternate A1B1.

6、 Design maker should build up design data base

Now we have sequins: 3MM, 4MM, 5MM, 6.75MM and 9MM. while the

first needle position can have 4 sequin delivery devices at most. So we can

get the following 15 combinations: A,B,AB,C,AC,BC,ABC,D,AD,BD,

ABD,CD,ACD,BCD,ABCD.

The design data base emerges different sequin size with sequin

combination.

If there are two sequin delivery devices A and B. A design document

uses 3MM sequin and 5MM. Then the design data base should contain

3MM-A base, 5MM-B base, and 5MM-AB base. While the other design

data base uses 4MM and 6.75MM, then the design data base should contain

4MM-A, 6.75MM-B and 6.75MM-AB.

If there are three sequin delivery devices A, B and C. A design

document uses 3MM, 4MM and 6.75MM, then the design data base should

contain 3MM-A base, 4MM-B base, 4MM-AB base, 6.75MM-C base,

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 191


Appendix Ⅳ Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

6.75MM-AC base, 6.75MM-BC base and 6.75MM-ABC base. While the

other design data base uses 3MM, 6.75MM and 9MM. Then the design data

base should contain 3MM-A base, 6.75MM-B base, 6.75MM-AB base, 9-C

base, 9-AC base, 9-BC base and 9-ABC base.

Other sequin design data bases are as the same

The alternate sequin design data base should combine single and

overlap sequins. For instance, 3MM-A sequin base and 4MM-AB sequin

base can form alternate sequin of 3MM-A & 4MM-AB, which achieves

embroidering effect of A, AB, A, AB…

7、 Normal sequin design to Dahao special sequin design

According to the above rules, we just need to insert some jump stitch

after “sequin code” to change the original sequin code to “multi-sequin

code”.

1) If you want to change the first sequin code to A+B sequin code, you

need to locate to that stitch first(its character is to let down the

sequin).

2) Right click “insert jump stitch” twice to insert two jump stitches after

the original sequin code.

3) You can see the stitch list as the following image. The first sequin is

overlap A+B, the second one is sequin A.

Save as the TAJIMA DST document.

II、 Notes for network setting parameters

1、 MAC address

In physical transmission of network bottom level, the computers are

recognized by physical address (MAC). So it’s necessary to keep the uniqueness

of MAC address. When the first two digits of MAC address are not zero, some

network equipments regards it as illegal MAC address and the equipment can’t

be linked to the network. So the first two digits of MAC address must be zero.

2、 IP address

1) Definition of IP address

IP also called Internet address is the logic address for solely marking the

computers in internet. Every computer in the internet relies on the IP address to

mark itself. It’s like we find the phone by the phone number in the phone book. In

one network the IP address must be unique.

2) Form of IP address

One IP address includes 4 decimal integers portioned by decimal points.

Each integer is in fact composed of 8 binary numbers. So the maximum of each

integer is 255 and the minimum is 0.

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 195


Appendix Ⅴ Network Connection of Embroidery Machines

3) Structure and classification of IP

The four numbers of IP address can be divided into 2 parts. One is network

number for marking the network. Another is computer number for marking the

specific machine in one network. IP addresses are divided into 3 kinds: A, B and

C.

A: the first number represents network and the following 3 numbers

represent computer.

B: the first two numbers represent network and the following 2 numbers

represent computer.

C: the first three numbers represent network and the last one represents

computer.

Use the following example to explain the network number and computer

number of C type.

2 192.168.2 .3

2 192.168.2 .4

3、 Subnet mask

To show how the network number and computer number are divided, subnet

mask is used to tell in one IP address which part is for network and which part is

for computer. It’s regulated that “1” is for network part and “0” is for computer

part. IP address and subnet mask combine to tell in which network the computer

is. So the subnet mask is very important. If it’s wrong, it will get the wrong

network address. Therefore the same network number must be set with the same

subnet mask.

4、 Gateway

it’s the IP address of the router which is in the same subnet of the computer. As

in the followed picture, if one data packet is to be transmitted to a computer in

network 2, this data packet has to be sent to the router linked to us. It’s like in

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 197


Appendix Ⅴ Network Connection of Embroidery Machines

sending by post you only need to deliver a letter to postman instead of delivering

by yourself. So when the computers are not in the same network segment, the

gateway also has to be set properly in setting computers. Otherwise computers

don’t know where to deliver the data packet.

III、 The ways to construct network

1、 One PC directly connected to one embroidery machine

In this situation crossover cable is used to link the network interface of PC to

the network interface of embroidery machine.

IV、 Setting the network parameters of embroidery machine

1、 MAC address of embroidery machine

Set MAC address of NIC of embroidery machine. Each embroidery machine

has its sole address. The range of this parameter is

000000000000~00FFFFFFFFFF.

2、 IP address of server

This parameter has to be the IP address of the PC installed with

EmbNetServer. This address can be found in the display window of

EmbNetServer.

EmbNetServer installation and use refer to the CD information with embroidery

machine.

3、 Server port No.

This parameter value is the port number used by EmbNetServer. The number

can be found in the display window of EmbNetServer.

4、 IP address of embroidery machine

BECS-C18 computerized embroidery machine owner’s manual 199


Appendix Ⅴ Network Connection of Embroidery Machines

Set the IP address of embroidery machine when it’s linked with PC. The IP

addresses of embroidery machines can’t be repeated. In one sub network the

network numbers of embroidery machines and PCs have to be the same. And

their computer numbers have to be different.

5、 Subnet mask

Set the subnet mask of IP address of embroidery machine when it’s linked

with PC. In one sub network the subnet masks of embroidery machines and PCs

have to be the same.

6、 Gateway address

If embroidery machines are in the two different sub networks, the gateway

address has to be set. Otherwise there’s no need to set it.
