This manual contains important information on the safe and correct use
of the “DACIII” (Dürkopp Adler Control) new-generation controller.
Screen images in this brief description
The symbol display on the various screens depends on the s ewing
machine’s equipment and settings. The screen images illustrated in
this brief description may therefore not always correspond exactly with
the screens appearing in the controller display.
Operating terminal with graphic user guide
The operating terminal is fitted with an LCD display and a keyboard.
The user guide employs only internationally intelligible symbols,
supplemented with textual information in the selected language. The
various symbols are arranged in groups in the menu structure of the
sewing and test programs.
Simplicity of operation ensures rapid familiarisation.
Ease of programming
99 freely programmable pocket programs are available to the user,
which can be combined with any number of seam patterns.
20 pocket sequences.
Each pocket s equence can be composed of a maximum of 8
pocket programs in any order.
On the “slanting-pocket version” of the class 745-34-2 all practical
angles can be programmed by the operator,
who can thus dispense with the need to spend time and effort
readjusting the corner blades and programming seam displacements.
Setting and test programs
The MULTITEST comprehensive testing and monitoring system is
integral to the DACIII control.
A microcomputer carries out the control functions, monitors the sewing
process and displays incorrect operations and faults.
Errors and test results are shown in the LCD display.
If the machine is operating normally the display shows information
relating to operation and sewing.
In the event of an operating error or fault the function sequence is
interrupted. The display indicates the cause by means of the
appropriate error symbol.
In most cases the error symbol disappears once the error has been
rectified.
In some cases the main switch must be switched off for safety reasons
when the error is rectified.
Special programs facilitate mechanical settings and enable receiver
and transmitter elements to be rapidly tested without additional
measuring devices.
Memory dongle
The dongle is used to memorize sewing programs and machine
parameters and to transfer these data to other sewing units.

Caution: danger of injury
The light barriers are adjusted with the machine switched on.
The utmost care must be taken when carrying out adjustments and
function-testing.

CAUTION: danger of breakage
It is essential for the folder station to be swivelled out for the light
barriers to be adjusted.
–
Swivel out the folder station 1.
–
Lay material under the feed clamps.
–
Run the test program.
Close the flap clamp and folding plates,
the feed clamps descend.
–
Pull the feed clamps forwards.
–
Align the light barriers to the centre of the reflecting foils 2.
The area from seam start to seam end must be checked on the
clamp.
Orange LED:on = reflection available
off = no reflection
Green LED:on = stable switching signal
If the green LED does not shine, the light-barrier should be
cleaned, readjusted, replaced or a new reflecting foil should be
fitted.
Proceed as follows:
- Attach a reflecting strip 2 on the left and on the right over the
whole length so that a strip of approx. 2 mm remains uncovered
in the middle.
- Push the feeding clamps to the back until they are centrally
underneath the light barriers.
- Loosen screws 3 and align the light barriers to the strip of the
reflecting foils 2. Tighten screws 3.
- Push the feeding clamps in the rear and front position and check
the alignment of the light barriers.

The display changes if the switching status of the input element is
altered.
A switching status of ”-" means:
proximity switch= metal in front of the switch
reflecting light barrier = reflection
–
Move the input element until the display shows the required
switching status.

7.4.5Selecting output elements
This program checks the function of the output elements.
One (single mode) or several (multi-mode) output elements can be
tested simultaneously.
Caution: danger of injury !
Do not reach into the machine while it is running and the function
of the output elements is under test.
–
Press Enter to run the test program.
–
Use the decimal keypad to select between single mode and
multi-mode .
1 = single mode:only one output element
is tested.
2 = multi-mode:a group of output elements
is tested.
–
Press the “F5” key to switch from DACIII control to the output
elements of the CAN node.
DACIII
CAN 1
DACIII = maximum of 16 outputs from YC001 to YC016
CAN 1 = maximum of 56 outputs from YC101 to YC156
78
–
Enter the code number of the required output element with “F3”
(forwards) or “F2” (backwards).
The code numbers are the abbreviations used in the circuit
diagram (see tables below).
–
The display shows the switching status (ON/OFF) of the output
element selected.
–
Switch the selected output element on (ON) and off (OFF)by
pressing function key “F4”.
