6.3 Efka drive
The drive parameter setting is realized in two steps. As the first step,
parameters are set for a group of sewing machine classes by means of
the function “auto select“. This is done automatically according to the
connected cable or switchboard where the so-called auto select
resistor is contained. As the second step, the particular sub-class is
selected at the parameter <290>, by means of which the parameters
specific for this sub-class are automatically uploaded.
Example:
For the auto select 680 W the following sewing machine sub-classes
are available:
Parameter <290>: Sub-class:
1 4180 (1:1)
2 4280 (1:1,4)
3 888, 887, 884 (1:1), solenoids
4 888, 887 (1:1,5), pneumatic
5 838, 887, 888 (1:1,5), pneumatic
Then the reference position is set at the parameter <170>,whichis
necessary for the correct positioning of the sewing machine (usually,
the needle tip at the level of the throat plate), or it is adjusted, as
needed, to the maximum sewing speed at the parameter <111>.
The software can be updated by means of a separate USB interface on
the control box front panel.
Detailed information with a detailed description of the parameter
setting is included in the publication “Operating instruction Efka
DA321G” enclosed by the drive manufacturer, or at the website
www.efka.net.
