BeeHive8S is extremely fast universal 8x
48-pindrive Stand-Alone concurrent multiprogramming
system designed for high volume production programming
with minimal operator effort. The chips are programmed at
near theoretical maximum programming speed.
BeeHive8S
consists of four independent
isolated universal programming modules, based on the BeeProg+
programmer hardware. Therefore the sockets can run
asynchronously (concurrent programming mode). Each
programming module starts programming at the moment the chip
is detected to be inserted in the socket properly -
independently on the status of other programming modules. It
result, three programming modules works while you replace
the programmed chip at the fourth.
Graphics control unit with touch screen (shown above at
the top of BeeHive8S programmer) provide basic control
and easy monitoring of the programming flow. Control unit
can be positioned/located freely to best place for operator.
Modular construction of hardware - the programming
modules works independently - allows for continuing
operation when a part of the circuit becomes inoperable. It
also makes service quick and easy.
Hands-free operation: asynchronous and concurrent
operation allows a chip to begin programming immediately
upon insertion of a chip. The operator merely removes the
finished chip and inserts a new chip. Operator training is
therefore minimized.
Supports all kinds of types and silicon
technologies of today and tomorrow programmable
devices without family-specific module. You can be sure
the next devices support require the software update and (if
necessary) simple package convertor (programming adapter),
therefore the ownership cost are minimized.
Using built-in in-circuit serial programming
(ISP) connector, the programmer is able to program
ISP capable chips in circuit.
Provides very competitive price coupled with excellent
hardware design for reliable programming. Probably best
"value for money"programmer in this class.
Very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA
driven hardware and execution of time-critical routines
inside of the programmer. At least fast than competitors in
this category, for many chips much faster than most
competitors. As a result, when used in production this
programmer waits for an operator, and not the other way
round.
Banana jack for ESD wrist straps connection to
easy-to-implement the ESD protection control.
FPGA based totally reconfigurable 48 powerful
TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read
capability for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers
incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to
deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce for all
supported devices. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so
you'll be ready to program the full range of today's
advanced low-voltage devices.
Each programming module performs device insertion
test (wrong or backward position) and contact
check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs
each device. These capabilities, supported by overcurrent
protection and signature-byte check help prevent
chip damage due to operator error.
The selftest capability allow to run diagnostic part of
software to thoroughly check the health of the each
programming module.
Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of
the programming module and/or programmed device due to
environment or operator failure. All ZIF socket pins inputs
and all pins of ISP connector of BeeHive8S programmer are
protected against ESD up to 15kV.
BeeHive8S
programmer performs programming
verification at the marginal level of supply
voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and
guarantees long data retention.
Various socket converters are available to handle
device in PLCC, SOIC, PSOP, SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN
(MLF), SDIP, BGA and other packages.
This part of the software is focused to the easy
monitoring of high-volume production operations.
There are two ways how to control and to monitor
programming flow of BeeHive8S Stand-Alone
multiprogramming system: using control unit or using
standard display/keyboad/mouse.
The Graphics control unit with touch screen provide
basic information about programming flow and allow basic
level of controlling of the BeeHive8S programmer.
Usage of display/keyboard/mouse allow to gain all
necessary information about programming flow and provide
more comfort for operator.
Operator-friendly control software combines many
powerful functions with ease of use. Graphic user interface
provide overview of all important activities result without
burden of operator with non-important details.
There is used a project file to control the
BeeHive8S Stand-Alone multiprogramming system. Project
file contains user data, chip programming setup information,
chip configuration data, auto programming command sequence,
etc. Therefore the operator error is minimized,
because the project file is normally created and proofed by
engineering and then given to the operator. The optional
protected mode can be set for project file to avoid a
unwanted changes of the project file.
Each chip may be programmed with different data such as serial number,
configuration and calibration information.
This part of the software is focused to the quick and
easy preparation of the project file for usage in the
production mode control software.
Each programming module is driven by an
easy-to-use control program with pull-down menu, hot
keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by
its class, by manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of
vendor name and/or part number. It is the same years-proven
software, as is used for all other Elnec single-site
programmers.
Standard device-related commands (read, blank
check, program, verify, erase) are boosted by some test
functions (insertion test, connection check,
signature-byte check), and some special functions
(autoincrement, production mode - start immediately after
insertion of chip into socket).
All known data formats are supported. Automatic file
format detection and conversion during loading of file.
There is possible to use Jam files (JEDEC standard
JESD-71) and VME files
The rich-featured auto-increment function enables
one to assign individual serial numbers to each programmed
device - or simply increments a serial number, or the
function enables one to read serial numbers or any
programmed device identification signatures from a file.
The software also provide a many information about
programmed device. As a special, the drawing of all
available packages are provided. The software provide
also explanation of chip labelling (the meaning of
prefixes and suffixes at the chips) for each supported chip.
It is important to remember, that a support of most of
the new devices requires only a software update,
because the BeeHive8S is based on the truly universal
(BeeProg+) programmer. With our prompt service you can have
new device added to the list of supported devices within
hours! See AlgOR (Algorithm
On Request) service for details.
Free software updates are available by
download
from our WEB site.
Keep-Current and AlgOR
services, our next step
towards customer satisfaction.
Keep-Current

programmer software and updated user documentation (Keep-Current
package) to customer . The Keep-Current
service is your hassle-free guarantee that you achieving
the highest quality programming on ELNEC programmers, at
minimal cost.
AlgOR
(Algorithm On Request) service gives the user a tool to

Advanced design of the BeeHive8S
multiprogrammer,
including protective circuits, original brand components,
and careful manufacturing and hours-long burning-in allows
us to provide a three-year warranty on parts and
labor for the programmer (limited 25 000-cycle warranty
on ZIF sockets). Although we care as possible to integrade
high quality of build in computer, we can't provide higher
warranty as we get from suppliers. So there is limited
warranty of one year to all computer parts such as MB, CPU,
HD, ... .

Programming speed
Notes:
It is important to know, we always use random numbers
pattern for programming speed testing. Some our competitors
use "sparse" pattern, where only few non-blank data are
programmed or are there are used data with only few 0 bits
(FE, EF, etc.). This cheating approach can "decrease"
programming time considerable. If you plan to compare, ask
always which pattern they use.
The programming speed depends on PC speed only slightly.
Algorithms: only manufacturer approved or
certified algorithms are used. Custom algorithms are
available at additional cost.
Algorithm updates: software updates are available
approx. every 4 weeks, free of charge (Internet download). OnDemand
version of software is available for highly needed chips
support and/or bug fixes. Available nearly every day.
Main features: revision
history, session logging,
on-line help, device and algorithm information.
