4700 467, 767 as a replacement for DA720V/DA820V
*) For these machine models, the parameter values are prepared. Before commissioning, the settings must
always be checked for suitability for the machine in use.

Select resistor is connected:

Depending on the resistance detected, the special functions for this machine model and the different preset
values are activated. If such a select resistor is connected, it can be read out from parameter 280. The
resistance value is displayed directly in ohms on the control panel. It is not possible to change the value.
Select resistor is not connected:
If no select resistor is connected, the note A5 (emergency run) is displayed. After power on and entry of the
code number, parameter 280 can be used to enter a select resistor value to be assumed. After input is complete
parameter 401 = 1 must be used to store the input. Then the P key must be pressed twice and info A4 appears.
After power is turned off and on again, the select-depending preset value for the corresponding machine model
will be set.

5.3.1 Use of the DA321G5321 as a replacement for DA720V/DA820V

The adapter enables the use of the DA321G controller
on older Dürkopp Adler sewing machines in the
467/767 classes in which the RP20 was used as the
high lift for walking foot potentiometer (built before
1998).
The connection is detected by a selection resistor
(4700 ) in the adapter.
In order to activate appropriate preset values for the
machine class, the corresponding mode must simply
be selected with parameter 290.
Order numbers for the adapter and the adapter cable
for connection of the switch for high lift for walking foot
can be found in the section Special Accessories.

5.3.3 Selection of machine model using parameter 290

This drive with this controller is suitable for different sewing machines.
The mode for the functional sequence required on the respective machine can be selected using parameter
290.
The presets for different machines depend on the specific select resistor and vary based on the value selected
here (mode).
A tabular listing can be found in the parameter list.
 - DA321G5321 - 13 -

NOTE
If no valid select resistor is detected upon commissioning or after a master reset and parameter 290 = 0, no
valid mode is selected.
The maximum speed is limited to 1000 RPM (for R-select 200 Ω to 200 RPM), and thread trimmers and
wipers are turned off. Only after changing the setting of the maximum speed and turning the thread trimmer
and/or wiper on will these settings be permanently in effect.
Exception: For R-select = 100 Ω, parameter 290 = 0 is a valid mode.

5.4 Transmission Ratio

NOTE
The transmission ratio must always be input, because only motors with integrated incremental transmitter will
be used. The transmission ratio should be determined and set as precisely as possible!

The transmission ratio between motor shaft and shaft of the sewing machine head must be input, so that the set
speeds of parameters 110...117 correspond to the sewing speeds.

Function with or without control panel Parameter

Transmission ratio between motor shaft and machine shaft (trr) 272

The transmission ratio can be selected within a range of 150...40000 using parameter 272.
Example: With a motor pulley diameter of 1.57 in and a sewing machine head pulley diameter of 3.15 in the
value 500 can be calculated using the formula below. If the value 2000 has been selected in
parameter 272, it follows that the motor pulley is double the size of the sewing machine head
pulley.

5.5 Positioning speed

Function with or without control panel Parameter
Positioning speed (n1) 110

The positioning speed can be set using parameter 110 on the control within a range of 70...390 RPM.

5.6 Maximum Speed Compatible with the Sewing Machine

The maximum speed of the machine is determined by the selected pulley and by the following settings:
 Set the maximum speed using parameter 111 (n2)
 The limitation of the maximum speed to the level typical for the application is set by the function "Direct
entry of maximum speed limitation" (DED) (see instruction manual for controls on the series 221/321,
general operation)
- 14 - Instruction Manual

5.7 Maximum speed

Function with or without control panel Parameter
Maximum speed (n2) 111

NOTE
See instruction manual of the sewing machine manufacturer for the maximum speed of the sewing machine.

NOTE

5.8 Positions
Function with or without control panel Parameter
Setting the reference position (Sr1) 170
Setting the needle positions (Sr2) 171
Selection according to position sensor (PGm) 270
Transmission ratio between motor shaft and machine shaft (trr) 272

After setting parameter 270 at “1, 2, 3 or 4“, an angular degree must be selected using parameter 171, which
determines the stop in position 2 or 1 after the sensor position. The transmission ratio must already have been
input using parameter 272.
For setting 270 = 6, only the reference position need be set. The angle values are specified accordingly, using
the mode selected with parameter 290.
 - DA321G5321 - 15 -

The integrated operating hours counter records the time of motor operation. Downtimes are not recorded. Time
recording accuracy is 1ms. There are two ways of operating hours counting.
1. Basic operating hours counting:
217 = 0 Operational mode: Operating hours counting

2. Service Hours Monitoring:

146 = >0 Operational mode: Number of operating hours before the next service.
Input of operating hours before the next service.
This value is compared to the operating hours counter.
The hours are programmed in steps of 10, i. e. the lowest display of 001 corresponds to 10 hours
(e. g. 055 = 550 hours).
When the set number of operating hours are reached, the message "C1" will show on the display
after each trimming operation. In addition, the speed indicator blinks on the control or on the
V820/V850 control panel during operation or after drive standstill.
Moreover, an acoustic signal is emitted when using a control panel if parameter 127 = 1.
If parameter 147=11, output M11 (socket ST2/31) is prepared for displaying the reached number of
pre-selected operating hours. Upon reaching the operating hours, a connected indicator lamp
blinks continuously until the counter is reset.

parameter 023
Switch-on delay after thread wiper (t7)
It is possible to prevent unintentional foot lifting before thread trimming when changing from pedal position 0
(neutral) to position -2 by setting a switch-on delay (t2) using parameter201.

NOTE
The maximum time the sewing foot can be permanently lifted is limited by parameter 297. After this time
elapses, it is automatically lowered and can be lifted again by pushing the pedal (-1). After that time, the time
limit starts again! Parameter 297 = 0 can be used to turn off the sewing foot monitoring.

Holding power of the lifted foot

The sewing foot is lifted by full power. Then the system switches automatically to partial power in order to
reduce the load for the control and the connected solenoid.
Set the duration of full power using parameter 203 and the partial holding power using parameter 204.

ATTENTION
If the holding power is set too high, the solenoid and the control may be permanently damaged.
Please observe the permissible duty ratio (ED) of the solenoid and set the appropriate value
according to the table below.

Value Duty ratio (ED) Effect

1 1 % low holding power
100 100% high holding power (full power)

Sewing foot lowers:

 Press pedal to position 0 (neutral)
 Press pedal to position ½ (slightly forward)
 Release key for manual sewing foot lifting
 After the time limit elapses that is set with parameter 297.

Upon pressing the pedal forward from lifted sewing foot, the start delay (t3) that can be set using parameter 202
becomes effective.

6.2.1 Sewing foot lifting on workstations with standing operator

Function with or without control panel Parameter
Sewing foot lifting function for standing operation (FLS) 024

To avoid having to keep the pedal down for sewing foot lifting on workstations operated while standing,
parameter 024 can be used to program the function as a flip-flop. If the sewing foot is lifted, it will be lowered
after the pedal is briefly pressed. If it is lowered, it will be lifted.

Function with or without control panel Parameter

Stitch length during backtack (SLu) 137
Speed for start backtack can be interrupted by pedal 0 (n2A) 125
Start and end backtack can be interrupted by pedal in pos. 0 (StP) 284

The start backtack starts by pressing the pedal forward at the beginning of the seam. From lifted foot the
backtack is delayed by the time t3 (start delay after switching off the sewing foot lifting signal). The start
backtack automatically runs at speed n3. If softstart is running parallel, the respective lower speed is prevailing.
Parameter 284 can be used to determine whether an interruption of the start and end backtack is permitted. For
ornamental backtacks parameter 284 has no effect.
284 = 0 The backtacks run automatically and are not interruptible.
284 = 1 The backtacks can be interrupted by returning the pedal to 0. For this setting, the speed setting of
parameter 125 applies.
After an interrupted start backtack, the pedal can be moved forward to continue the backtack, and
pedal position –1 lifts the sewing foot while pedal position –2 stops the trimming process without
an end backtack. Automatic lifting of the sewing foot does not take place if the backtack is
interrupted.

Parameter 137 can be used to select the stitch length (normal or long stitch) during the backtack. The display
does not light up during the backtack.
137 = 0 The backtack is executed with a long stitch length.
137 = 1 The backtack is executed with a normal stitch length.

Counting as well as turning the stitch regulator on and off is synchronized to position 1.
The stitch regulator will be switched off after completion backwards section and the start backtack counter after
a delay time t1. Then pedal control is returned.

When using a control panel, the function "HIT" can be used for quick information for the user. When the start
backtack is turned on with key 1, the associated value is shown on the display for about 3 seconds. During this
time, the value can be varied directly by pressing key + or -.

6.3.3 Stitch Correction and Speed Release

Function with or without control panel Parameter
Stitch correction time (t8) 150
Delay until speed release after start backtack (t1) 200

Speed release after single and double backtack can be influenced by parameter 200 .

In the case of slow backtack mechanisms it is possible to delay disabling of the stitch regulator in the single and
double start backtack by the time t8 (start backtack stitch correction) and thereby prolong the backward section.
This time-lag can be selected by means of parameter 150.

6.3.4 Double start backtack

The forward section will be sewn for a number of stitches that can be set. Then the stitch regulator signal will be
issued and the backward section will be executed. The number of stitches for the two sections can be set

Stitch length during backtack (SLu) 137
Speed for end backtack can be interrupted by pedal 0 (n2E) 126
Start and end backtack can be interrupted by pedal in pos. 0 (StP) 284

The end backtack starts either by heelback, by a seam with stitch counting at the end of counting, o, from the
light barrier seam at the end of the light barrier compensating stitches. The stitch regulator is immediately
enabled from machine standstill.
After lowering the sewing foot, the switch-on point of the signal is delayed by the time t3 (start delay after
switching off the sewing foot lifting signal). The first leading edge of position 1 counts as 0 stitch whenever the
function is not started in position 1. The counting and turning off of the stitch regulator is synchronized at
position 1.
From full machine run, end backtack will be switched in only after having reached the speed n4 and
synchronization to position 1.

Parameter 284 can be used to determine whether an interruption of the start and end backtack is permitted. For
ornamental backtacks parameter 284 has no effect.
284 = 0 The backtacks run automatically and are not interruptible.
284 = 1 The backtacks can be interrupted by returning the pedal to 0. For this setting, the speed
setting of parameter 125 applies.
After an interrupted end backtack, the pedal can be pushed forwards to
continue the backtack; pedal position –1 lifts the sewing foot, or pedal position –2
ends the trimming process without an end backtack. Automatic lifting of the sewing foot does not
take place if the backtack is interrupted.

6.4.4 Double end backtack

The backward section and/or end stitch condensing will be executed for a number of stitches that can be set.
Then the stitch regulator will be disabled and the forward section and/or normal stitch condensing stitches will
be executed. The number of stitches for the two sections can be set separately.
After stitch counting (parameter 003) the trimming function will be initiated. During the entire operation the
sewing speed is reduced to speed n4,. with the exception of the last stitch, which will be performed at
positioning speed n1.
In the case of slow backtack mechanisms it is possible to delay disabling of the stitch regulator in the single and
double end backtack by the time t9 (end backtack stitch correction).

6.4.5 Single end backtack

The stitch regulator signal will be issued and the backward section will be executed. During the last stitch the

At this point (after power-on) the stitch count can be set with the +/- keys in steps of 10.
The functionDED (direct input of speed limit) is available after the first sewing start or trimming.

6.15.1 Input signals

The form of the input signal can be used to distinguish which bobbin is empty.

Right bobbin empty: = continuous signal (on for at least 1 second)

Left bobbin empty: = Frequency 5 Hz, or about 100 msec long signal
Left and right bobbins both empty: = Frequency 10 Hz, or about 50 msec long signal

6.15.2 Bobbin thread monitor function off (parameter 195 = 0)

The bobbin thread monitor function is turned off.

6.15.3 Bobbin thread monitor without stop / sewing foot down after seam end
(parameter 195 = 1)
Upon detection of an input signal after the bobbin runs empty, the bobbin thread counter is activated and the
bobbin thread monitor symbol appears on the display of the V810 or V820/V850 control panel. After the counter
runs out, the V810 control panels shows a C for the left bobbin and/or D for the right bobbin. On the V820/V850
control panel, instead of the model name, another symbol for right, left, or both is displayed. The corresponding
LEDs on the machine (right, left, or both) will continue to flash about 4 times per second. The displays will
remain in place even after the input signal is no longer applied. After the thread trimming and after the counter
runs down the sewing foot is not lifted. The sewing foot is only lifted after the pedal has been in the 0 position
and then returned to its position. The displays are removed (the flashing frequency of 4 Hz is turned off) if, after
the thread trimming and the following start of sewing, no input signal has come in after 14 stitches. The bobbin
has therefore been replaced and the bobbin thread counter is reset to zero.

6.15.4 Bobbin thread monitor with stop / sewing foot up after seam end (parameter 195 =
2)
Upon detection of an input signal after the bobbin runs empty, the bobbin thread counter is activated and the
bobbin thread monitor symbol appears on the display of the V810 or V820/V850 control panel. After the counter
runs out, the V810 control panels shows a C for the left bobbin and/or D for the right bobbin. On the V820/V850
control panel, instead of the model name, another symbol for right, left, or both is displayed. The corresponding
LEDs on the machine (right, left, or both) will continue to flash about 4 times per second, and the drive stops.
Automatic seam sections, such as seams with stitch counts or light barrier seams, will also be interrupted.
These can be ended after the pedal is moved to the 0 position and then into a forwards position.
 - DA321G5321 - 35 -

The following exceptions should be noted:

 If the bobbin thread monitor ends in a start backtack, then the start backtack will run to the end and then the
drive will stop.
 If the bobbin thread monitor ends in an end backtack, the end backtack and trimming process will run to
completion.

After thread trimming, the sewing foot automatically lifts. The displays are removed (the flashing frequency of 4
Hz is turned off) if, after the thread trimming and the following start of sewing, no input signal has come in after
14 stitches. The bobbin has therefore been replaced and the bobbin thread counter is reset to zero.

6.15.5 Bobbin thread monitor with stop / sewing foot down after seam end (parameter
195 = 3)
Upon detection of an input signal after the bobbin runs empty, the bobbin thread counter is activated and the
bobbin thread monitor symbol appears on the display of the V810 or V820/V850 control panel. After the counter
runs out, the V810 control panels shows a C for the left bobbin and/or D for the right bobbin. On the V820/V850/
control panel, instead of the model name, another symbol for right, left, or both is displayed. The corresponding
LEDs on the machine (right, left, or both) will continue to flash about 4 times per second, and the drive stops.
After thread trimming, the sewing foot is not lifted. The sewing foot is only lifted after the pedal has been in the 0
position and then returned to its position.
The displays are removed (the flashing frequency of 4 Hz is turned off) if, after the thread trimming and the
following start of sewing, no input signal has come in after 14 stitches. The bobbin has therefore been replaced
and the bobbin thread counter is reset to zero.

6.15.6 Bobbin thread monitor with stitch counting (Parameter 195 = 4)

To work with different bobbins and be able to use the bobbin thread monitor function, three stitch counts can be
programmed (A, B, C; parameters 086, 087, and 088).
Before initial commissioning of a controller, and after every update of the Flash program memory, these
counters must be programmed.

Turn thread monitor function on/off

Long actuation (>1 second) of a key connected to socket A/12 activates the thread monitor stitch counting
(maximum 65,000 stitches) and the thread monitor display appears continually in the display.
When the V820/V850 control panel is connected, key 8 can be used to initiate the same function.
Pressing the key again turns the function back off.
The function "Direct input of maximum speed" (DED) is only possible with the thread monitor function turned off,
or in the seam.

Selecting the stitch counter (A, B, or C)

At the start of the seam, the stitch count can be selected by pressing the +/- keys on the control panel. The
stitch counter last used and the counter values are retained even after the power is turned off.
- 36 - Instruction Manual

Resetting the stitch counter (A, B, or C)

Short actuation of the key (<1 sec.) sets the currently selected stitch counter to the value selected with the
parameters 086, 087, or 088.

Sequence with thread monitor function turned on

During sewing, the counter value is decremented with each stitch, and the remaining number of stitches
displayed.
Once the end of the countdown is reached, the V810 indicates the left bobbin with the C symbol or D for the
right bobbin. On the V820/V850, the end of the countdown is indicated by flashing of the symbols for the left
and/or right bobbins on the display instead of the model designation. In addition, the LEDs provided for this
function on the machine flash (flash frequency 4 Hz).
The drive stops.
Automatically sequenced seam sections such as seams with stitch counting or light barrier seams will be
interrupted, except for the start and end backtacks. After the pedal is in the 0 position and a subsequent
forwards actuation, the seam can be continued.
It is necessary to adjust the number of stitches in such a way that the bobbin content is not completely
exhausted by the end of the count.
After replacing the bobbin, a short press on the key indicated above will reset the thread monitor counter to the
starting value.
The counter value remains stored after power--off and continues the the thread monitor count after power is
restored.-
On the display of the controller, there is no display for the thread monitor.

6.17.9 Sewing foot high lift (Function module A)

Function with or without control panel Parameter
High lift for walking foot with output A (FMA) 250 = 11
High lift walking speed (n10) 117
high lift for walking foot ratcheting = 1 / temporary = 0 (hPr) 138
Run-out time of the high lift walking speed after high lift for walking foot is turned off. (thP) 152
Minimum stitch count with high lift for walking foot (chP) 184
If high lift for walking foot is on, the transport roller remains raised/lowered (hPt) 262

When key A is pressed, output A and LED A are turned on and thus brought to the maximum sewing foot lift.
Turning on the solenoid valve is possible at any time. The maximum speed is limited to the high lift walking
speed (DB2000). If the momentary speed is higher than the high lift walking speed, the drive brakes to the high
lift walking speed before output A is turned on.
When maximum high lift is disabled, output A and LED A are turned off immediately, but the speed limitation is
only removed after a configurable amount of time (parameter 152).

Three different modes can be selected with parameters:

High Lift for Walking Foot Operational Mode Stored (parameter 138 = 1).
The first time key A or a knee switch is pushed, output A is turned on, and it is turned off on the second time.

High Lift for Walking Foot Operational Mode Not Stored (parameter 138 = 0, parameter 254 = 0).
Output A is turned on as long as key A or a knee switch is pressed.

High lift for walking foot with minimum stitch count (parameter 138 = 0, parameter 254 > 0).
When key A or a knee switch is pressed, output A is turned on and remains turned on until the configured stitch
count (parameter 254) has been counted down.

 When key A is pressed when the drive is not running, high lift is turned on, and remains turned on after
sewing starts at least for the configured stitch count.
 Extension of the activation time is possible if the key remains pushed down past the end of the stitch
counting.
 When the key is pressed during counting, counting is always started over.

Parameter 262 can be used to set the following function if the parameter 250 is set to "11" and 255 to "5", or
parameter 250 is set to "5" and 255 to "11".
262 = 0 The transport roller remains lowered if high lift for walking foot is turned on.
262 = 1 The transport roller is lifted when high lift for walking foot is turned on.

After setting parameter 250 = 13, pressing the external key on input A (socket A/8) can be used to start the
handwheel run corresponding to the setting of parameter 161. Parameter 263 can be used to select the number
of increments for how long the handwheel should rotate after a short press of the key. Parameter 264 can be
used to set the speed with which the handwheel should turn. Parameter 265 sets a delay time. If the key is
pressed for shorter than the time set, the configured increments in parameter 263 count down. If the key press
is longer than the delay time configured, a continuous handwheel run is carried out.

Parameter 266 can be used to set the sewing foot lifting function.
266 = 0 The sewing foot lowers when the key is pressed during the handwheel run.
266 = 1 The sewing foot remains lifted while the handwheel is running if pedal is at –1 or automatic sewing
foot lifting is set.

When using a control panel, the parameters 293 and 294 can be used to assign the functions of the F1 and F2
keys.
293/294 = 8 When the F1/F2 key is pressed, run the handwheel in direction of rotation
293/294 = 9 When the F1/F2 key is pressed, run the handwheel against the direction of rotation

Function with or without control panel Parameter
High lift walking speed (DB2000) (n10) 117
Speed limitation (DB3000) (n11) 289

The control inputs on A/9 (DB2000) and A/10 (DB3000) limit speed to 2000 RPM and 3000 RPM respectively.
The limited speeds can be changed with parameters 117 and 289. When the states of the control inputs
change, the corresponding speed limit takes effect or is canceled with a delay of about 50 ms.

NOTE
When simultaneously using different speed limits, the maximum speed is limited the lower value.
 - DA321G5321 - 45 -

6.19.2 Analogous speed limitation

The maximum speed can be limited by an analog voltage on input A/3. The analog voltage is generated by a
potentiometer connected as a voltage splitter. If no potentiometer is connected, the maximum voltage is applied
to the input. A potentiometer for speed limitation on the controller is also possible.

6.19.3 Analog speed limitation with Speedomat

The Speedomat function permits speed limitation depending on the configured lift height of the sewing foot (21
steps). The current value of the lift height is given to the controller by the position of a potentiometer (10k ) with
a 60° turning angle that is coupled to the lift shaft.
The maximum rotational angle of the lift shaft is 48° and move the potentiometer over a range of 9k (nmax =
4.5 V on socket A/3) to 1k (nlim = 0.5 V on socket A/3).

For the connection options of the potentiometer, see section "Connection diagram".

Using parameter 330 for signal A1 and parameter 335 for signal A2, it is possible to select if these signals and
sewing foot lifting shall be coupled or these signals and backtacking shall be coupled.
330/335 = 0 Coupling off
330/335 = 1 Coupling with sewing foot lifting
330/335 = 2 Coupling with backtacking
330/335 = 3 Coupling with sewing foot lifting and backtacking
Signals A1/A2 can be inverted using parameter 331/336.
Signals A1/A2 can be switched using the “F“ key on the V820/V850 control panel if parameter 008 is set
accordingly.

6.33 Actuator
The commands for the sewing process are inputted using the actuator which is connected to the pedal. EFKA
offers two different functional variants.
1. Digital – works only in steps (e.g. EB301A).
2. Analog – Characteristic programmable, continuously variable, 12, 24, or 60 steps (e.g. EB401).
Which actuator type is connected is automatically detected by the control.
Instead of the built-on actuator another actuator can also be connected to socket B80.

The pedal characteristics (speed change from stage to stage) can be varied.
Possible characteristic curves: - linear
- progressive
- highly progressive

6.33.2 Analog actuator

Function with or without control panel Parameter
Characteristic of the "analog pedal" (APd) 026

The effect of pedal actuation on the drive functions can be set using parameter 026:
026 = 0 Analog function off
026 = 1 12-level selected, like prior pedal function of the digital actuator.
026 = 2 continuously variable
026 = 3 24-level
026 = 4 60-level (progressive)
026 = 5 60-level (progressive)

6.33.3 Frequency-controlled speed specification

Instead of speed specifications using a target value sensor, this can also be done by applying a frequency to
input C (B80/4). The frequency between 200 and 10,000 Hz determines the set value in the range bounded by
parameters 110/111 (positioning speed/maximum speed).
Start / stop takes place through input D (B80/7).
Foot lifting and thread trimming take place via inputs A and B (B80/8 and 6) according to the table above.

6.34 Acoustic Signal

Function test of external inputs and transistor power outputs with connected actuators (e.g. solenoids and
solenoid valves).

7.1 Signal Test Using the Incorporated Control Panel or the V810/V820/V850
7.1.1 Inputs to the control
Select parameter 173.
Control pad on controller: By actuating the keys or switches connected to inputs in1 to in10, the number
of the input actuated appears on the display, e.g. i06. More than one switch and/or key may not be actuated
at the same time.
If more than one key or switch is activated at once, the number of the lowest-numbered input is displayed.
If, for example, in3, in5, in6, in7 are actuated, i03 is displayed.
Note: Checking of positions is described in chapter "Displaying the signal and stop positions".
V810 control panel: The numbers of the inputs in1...in10, in11 (LSM), in12, and in13 appear individually
on the LCD display. Here, too, several switches and/or keys may not be actuated at the same time.
The signals "Light barrier, sensor (IPG... or HSM...), generator pulses 1 and 2, position 1 and 2" can be
checked directly for functionality. The display is carried out using the arrows assigned to keys 2 to 4

Display example for input 03 on the V810 control panel:  in i03

V820 control panel: The numbers of the inputs in1...in10, in11 (LSM), in12, and in13 appear individually
on the LCD display. In addition, the active inputs are displayed by arrows over keys 1 through 6, even if
multiple inputs are actuated at once.
If more than one key or switch is activated at once, the number of the lowest-numbered input is displayed.
If, for example, in3, in5, in6, in7 are actuated, 03 is displayed.
The signals "Light barrier, positions, etc." are displayed by arrows above keys 8, 9, 0.
