Abstract
A sewing machine including a control device and a plurality of driving devices adapted to be controlled by the control device, in which one of a plurality of operating panels is selectably connectable to the control device. When one of the operating panels is connected to the control device, the control device controls the driving devices according to a selected additional control program. When none of the operating panels is connected to the control device, the control device controls the driving devices according to a basic control program. The operating panels are adapted to output discrimination signals peculiar to each of the operating panels so that the control device discriminates the operating panel selected and connected.
