Note: orientation of ZIF socket and device reference pin are set with effort to achieve perfect
functionality and ergonomic, therefore may be different at different AP3 programming
modules.
BeeHive304 programmer is designed as desktop programmer, but it has a special
construction that is suitable for use in the automated programming systems. Dimensions of
the programmer are reduced to technical minimum for this features & quality hardware in
intent to minimize overhead of the handler's arm movement. The construction is mechanically
stable to be immune against vibration during operation. The case of BeeHive304 is prepared
to be fastened from top or from bottom of programmer body into automated programmer
working place.
BeeHive304 can be implemented into automated programmer (as a replacement of obsolete
programmer for example) or into some handler using more ways:
if one or two BeeHive304 programmers are enough to perform all jobs, then it is enough
to use one control PC for whole programming system, for both machine control and also
programmer software. The BeeHive304 can be attached to this computer using USB or
LAN network.
if more than two BeeHive304 programmers are required to implement into automated
programmer, then more computers are needed to use. Whole system is scalable up to 64
programming sites in one automated programming system by multiplying of BeeHive304
programmers and the control PCs. Maximal configuration comprise of 16x BeeHive304
programmers. One control computer in the system serves as a master unit. Here run also
multiprogramming control software, serialization engine and interface to the host system.
Interfacing of control PCs in whole network is done over standard LAN network.
Implementation of BeeHive304 into software of automated programmers and handlers is
by using of 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.
BeeHive304 programmer is driven by comfortable and easy to use control programs, which
work with all versions of MS Windows from Windows XP to Windows 8 64-bit.
