Attention
If machine is inactive for a long time, users should have the machine checked
before power-on.
Matters forAttention on Rejection
Attention Rejection should o
bey the rules and regulations set by national industrial electronic
standards.
1.2 Main Features
1、User-friendly Interface on Touching Panel
The adoption of the touching panel technology offers user the delightful operation and
easy learning. The beautiful screen display turns everyday work into joyful experiences.
2、Automatic Turn-off of LCD Displayer
In order to extend the LCD life, the system will turn off the LCD automatically in case of
no operation in 10 minutes (the time can be changed in parameter setting). Touching the screen
or the task-shifting key will reboot the LCD.
3、Huge Memory Capacity
The memory capacity reaches 100 million stitches, Its huge memory capacity can meet
demands of different customers.
4、Stitch Amount of One Design at One Million Stitches as Maximum
At present a single design in the system has the maximum of 100,000,000 stitches and 250
times of automatic color changing.
5、Multi-Task Parallel and Free Shift among Tasks
During the embroidery, actions like design input & output, preparation for the following
designs and modification of parameters can be carried out. The flexible shift among current
tasks can be realized with the task-shifting key.
Owner’s Manual of BECS- 285AComputerized Control System 3

Chapter 1 General Information
6、Storage of Frequently Used Parameters and Color-Changing Order for Each Design
Design will be saved along with its parameters, color-changing orders and needle bar
colors. System can save the operational details for each design. Users can set parameters for a
design during the embroidery process of the previous design, which will save time and improve
efficiency. Moreover, it is one basis to realize network management.
7、Group Management of Parameters
Parameters can be divided into several groups according to their functions, and the part of
parameters can be stored, recovered. In some machine with setting password-protected
function, system can set password on the parameters for protection.
8、Design I/O via USB
Beside to the floppy disk of DOS, FDR and ZSK format, customers can also use USB
disk for data transfer. USB disk supports DIR operation, which is easy for design management.
For each directory, system supports operation on 400 designs or sub-directory. There is no
limitation between directory levels. Designs in the formats of Binary, Ternary and Z-nary can
be loaded.
9、Input of Several Design Files at One Time
Both floppy and USB disks support multi-design input under one directory.
10、Design Input through Network, Color-changing Order, etc.
Network connector is available, which helps user to input design, color-changing order,
and patch sewing and so on.
11、Network Function
A surveillance LAN can be built by using the connectors and linked to the factory LAN,
which realizes network management, improves production efficiency and reduces possible
mistakes. It’s the best choice of embroidery equipment for enterprises to take the modern
enterprise management. The explanation is at appendix Ⅴ.
12、Patch Embroidery
This function can set a patch point at the position of color code or stop code, and when the
machine embroiders to the patch point, it will halt and move out frame for patching. After
sticking a patch, user would press the start key to let the frame return and continue
embroidering.
4Owner’s Manual of BECS- 285AComputerized Control System

Chapter 1 General Information
13、Brake Adjustment
User can adjust the parameter of brake to let the main shaft stop at the correct position
according to the characters of his own machines.
14、Save Start Point
This function can save the start point of each design, which waives the works of user for
searching the start point at embroidering the identical design.
15、Mechanical Maintaining and Debugging
This function is to easily judge the malfunctions at maintaining and testing, such as
encoder testing, main shaft speed testing, machine parts testing and the main shaft stopping at
any position, etc.
16、Multi-Language Support
Currently, the system supports the display in Chinese, English, Spanish and Turkish,
Russian, French and Portuguese.
17、Design Output
Design can be output and saved into floppy disk or USB disk. Adoption of TAJIMA’s
binary system enjoys the advantage of data transmitting through the World Wide Web (other
formats may not be transmitted directly).
18、Repetition Embroidery
The user can increase embroidery productivity by using the function of repetition
embroidery, which can also be used with cyclic embroidery.
19、Cyclic Embroidery
With this function, the machine can automatically return to the origin point and start the
same embroidery again when finishing the design one time. The user also can increase
embroidery productivity rapidly by combining this function with the special design-making
function or repetition embroidery function.
20、Design Compiling
（1）Compiling the Data of Selected Design to Generate New Design
Users can compile any design according to zoom ratio, rotate angle, normal repetition or
partial repetition to generate a new design and save it in the memory card. The newly generated
design can be used for embroidering, output or other operations.
（2）Compiling the Combined Design
Owner’s Manual of BECS- 285AComputerized Control System 5

Chapter 1 General Information
After setting the combined design, the system can compile that design to generate a new
one and save it to the memory card. The newly generated design can be used for embroidering,
output or other operations.
21、Letter Design
There are 28 letter-bases altogether. Users can make groups and change the letter order
according to different tasks. This operation is simple and easy managing.
22、Design Editing
By using this function, users may insert, modify or delete certain stitch at the selected
point. New designs can be created with this function too.
23、Speed Adjustment
The highest speed for embroidery can be preset. During the process of embroidery, speed
changes automatically as long as the needle interval changes.
24、Thread-trimming
Thread-trimming can be manually controlled. The machine can trim the thread
automatically at the end of embroidery process or color-changing.
25、Thread-breakage Detection
In case of thread breakage or running-out of bottom thread, the machine will stop and give
the warning by blinking the indicator.
26、Color-changing
At the color changing point, user can either perform the color-changing manually or let
the system do it according to the preset order automatically.
27、Cording Embroidery
The cording embroidery enriches the type of the embroidery of the system.
