Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function for Cloth Embroidery/ Cap Embroidery 1. Working Principles The automatic limits function is to use the X-/Y+ limits coupler as the origins. The system will determine the embroidery range of that frame according to the frame size and the distance between the origin and the set frame center (Unit: mm).
Page 229
Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function Select “Power-off Frame Protection/ Frame Origin” to enter the interface for setting the frame origin : Select “Auto Frame Origin” and then click “Confirm”. At this moment, the frame will automatically find the origin and confirm it. (Note: when the limits coupler is damaged, user can use “Manual Frame Origin”...

Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function There are four parameters in the Cloth Frame Type. “X Center” is the distance from the frame center to the X- limits coupler; “Y Center” is the distance between the frame center and the Y+ limits coupler; “X Frame Size” is the available embroidery range in X direction; “Y Frame Size”...

Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function “X Frame Size” and “Y Frame Size” should be set according to the frames actually used. Attention: because usually the cloth frame is not the rectangle, this parameter value shall be set according to the available embroidery range of the frame in actual. We can take the picture at below as the reference: X/Y Center (X,Y) can be figured out from the calculation and measurement.

Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function “X Center” X = A - L / 2 ; “Y Center” Y = W / 2 - B ; Fill the X and Y into the form as the X/Y Center for Cloth Frame A. (3) Parameter Adjustment Due to the error at measurement, the calculated coordinate may be not so accurate.

Appendix 6 Automatic Limits Function Synchronization Status At present, in the controller, we have preset 9 kinds of cloth embroidery frame for user, which is in the parameter “Cloth Frame Type A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I”. These nine frame types can be set in “Frame Selection” within “Frame Parameter 2” when user needs replace the frame. 3.

Questions and answers
What is this error
The error codes for the DAHAO BECS-185 computerized control system indicate various issues related to machine operation. Here are some examples:
- EC18 (Half return error): Check the color-changing wheel, rheostat, and connections.
- EC19 (Needle position error): Verify the needle position using the color-changing wheel and check the rheostat.
- EC20 (Main motor overtime): Inspect motor rotation, coupler blockage, encoder plug connection, and driver condition.
- EC21 (Change color over limit): Check the rheostat and needle settings.
- EC22 (Main motor reverse): Inspect the 14P plug on the motor encoder and rheostat.
- EC23 (Cannot embroider): No details provided.
- EC24 (Cannot frame back): No details provided.
- EC26 (Cannot trim): Check for mechanical issues or a broken knife return detection sensor.
- EC36 (Sequin is on): Lift the sequin device and retry.
- EC37 (Pull bar error): No details provided.
- EC38 (Special embroidery overtime): No details provided.
- EC41 (File not exist): Retry the operation, restart the machine, or clear memory.
- EC42 (File directory full): No details provided.
Each code corresponds to a specific problem, often requiring inspection of components or adjustments to settings.
