Features
- BeeHive204AP is an industrial version of BeeHive204 programmer for usage in automated programmers. The differences are:
- the dimensions of the BeeHive204AP programmer are shrink - compared to the BeeHive204 - in intent to minimize overhead of the handler's arm movement
- more mechanically stable case to be immune against vibration during operation. The case of BeeHive204AP is prepared to be fastened from top or from bottom of programmer body into automated programmer working place
- different construction of programming modules, stable enough for insert/replace chips by mechanical arm and also that allow to keep identical position of ZIF socket also after replacing of the module
- BeeHive204AP can be implemented into automated programmer (as a replacement of obsolete programmer) or into some handler by two ways:
1) using of standard PC, for example BeeHive204AP can be connected to the control PC of automated programmer.
- up to 2 BeeHive204AP can be attached to one computer using USB hub or USB ports of the PC
- see please BeeHive204 description for other details of this implementation
2) using BeeHive204AP control unit (option)
- Up to 2 BeeHive204AP programmers are controlled by BeeHive204AP control unit. The BeeHive204AP control unit is Windows XP Embedded driven computer, optimized for industrial environment.
- Whole system is scalable up to 64 programming sites in one automated programmer by multiplying of BeeHive204AP programmer and BeeHive204AP control unit. Maximal configuration comprise of 16x BeeHive204AP programmers and 8x BeeHive204AP control units.
- One BeeHive204AP control unit in the system serve as a master unit. Here is running also multiprogramming control software, serialization engine and interface to the host system.
- Interfacing of BeeHive204AP control units is done over standard LAN and external LAN switch. Interfacing of BeeHive204AP master control unit and host systems is over LAN or RS232 (other interface on request).
The selected way of the BeeHive204AP implementation into automated programmer or handler depends mainly on the type of chips you plan to program. Let's assume, the mechanical arm movement time, from picking up chip from the input tray (tape, ...) to chip insertion into ZIF socket of programmer, including fine positioning by camera, is 5 seconds. The time between chip removing from ZIF socket of the programmer and placement of chip to output tray (tape, ...) is 3s. Together it is 8 seconds, multiplied 7 sites (until one site is served, 7 sites are working) it is 56 seconds. Because the high programming speed of BeeHive204AP, only really large memories have programming time that exceed this time - and then the usage of BeeHive204AP control unit is needed for totally balanced performance of both programming system and handler.
- Implementation of BeeHive204AP into available 3rd party automated programmers and handlers is using simple remote control of the PG4UWMC control software. There exist examples of implementation for standard programming languages and of course we are ready to help customer with this task.
