Introduction

1-2 3/97 ProMaster 2500 User Manual

The system is composed of two major parts:

1. ProMaster 2500 handler with programming electronics

2. TaskLink software operating on a personal computer (PC)

2500 Handler

The 2500 handler is the hardware portion of the system. System firmware

controls the transportation, programming, and labeling of a wide variety

of IC device styles and packages. The system is designed to allow for easy

conversion between IC package types without the use of tools or time-

consuming adjustments. A single, state-of-the-art pick- and-place beam

transports devices for programming and labeling. The system is designed

to minimize lead damage while producing reliable device throughput.

TaskLink Software

TaskLink™ Universal Production Automation Software is the primary

user interface controlling the operation of the 2500. The system

administrator selects the configuration parameters necessary to perform a

programming/labeling job and saves these together as a Task. The

system operator simply selects this Task from a list on the opening screen.

The 2500 is configured, data files are transferred, and devices are

programmed, verified, and labeled in a single, automated operation.

TaskLink supports a variety of Data I/O programming products. Some of

the commands and options displayed on TaskLink’s menus are intended

to be used with other products and not in the operating environment of

the 2500. Information on these commands is available by pressing

invoke TaskLink’s online Help.

General Features

This section describes the major hardware components on the 2500. The

components are divided into three broad categories: external features,

features under the hood, and internal features.

Note: Illustrations in this manual show the ProMaster 2500 with an E-stop

button, hood interlock switch, labeler cover, and a modified hood with a

handle. Handlers with the dot matrix labeler installed do not have these

additional features.

External Features

The primary external features of the ProMaster 2500 are identified in

Figure 1-2.

Front of 2500 Disk Drive

—The disk drive is used to update the Mass Storage Module

with operating system commands and programming algorithms used by

the programming electronics.

Hood

—The hood covers devices as the beam transports them through

the system. Figure 1-2 shows the hood in its operating position (down).

The 2500 will not operate (except when running diagnostics) while the

hood is raised.

Note: A safety interlock switch under the hood prevents the 2500 from operating

when the hood is up. The hood must be lowered to the operating position

(shown in Figure 1-2) before the 2500 will process devices. Service

personnel are provided with a key that is inserted into the switch keyhole

and turned to activate the switch. This allows them to service the handler

and run diagnostics when the hood is raised. If a user lifts the hood while a

Task is running, all handler motion will be stopped, but the power to the

handler will remain on.

Introduction

1-4 3/97 ProMaster 2500 User Manual

Front Panel

—The front panel includes an alphanumeric keyboard for

text and data entry, and a 4-line, 160-character back-lit display for

communicating prompts to the operator. This panel is used primarily for

running diagnostics and invoking special handler/labeler firmware

commands. (Refer to page 1-11 for more detailed information.)

Output Tube Holders

—By default, the right tube holder (tube 1) accepts

all devices that have passed the programming/testing operation. The left

tube (tube 2) holds any devices that have not passed the system

programming and verify cycles.

Main Plate

—The primary surface on which the track, beam, and other

components described above are mounted. The system power supply and

controlling electronics boards are located in the base, under the main

plate. Two corner screws attach the hinged main plate to the base. With

these screws removed, the plate can be raised to allow access to service

the system electronics.

CAUTION: To prevent the main plate from accidentally falling shut, be

careful not to jar it when it is raised.

Ground Wrist Strap Connector

—The operator’s antistatic wrist strap is

inserted in this connector.

CAUTION: The devices being processed through the ProMaster 2500 and

components on the system’s circuit boards are static

sensitive and may be damaged by electrostatic discharge

(ESD). To help eliminate damage from ESD, operators and

service personnel should wear an antistatic wrist strap

while using the equipment. The wrist strap should be

connected to the grounding plug. It should contain a 1M ohm

(minimum value) to 10M ohm (maximum value) isolating

resistor.

Emergency Stop Button (E-stop)

—A red emergency stop button is

located below the disk drive on the right side of the front panel. Pressing

this button will shut off all input AC power to the 2500, immediately

stopping all handler movement and turning the programmer off. Devices

in the middle of the programming and labeling process (those in

programming module sockets and waiting in the middle track) will be in

an undefined state. All devices in the module sockets and tracks should

be removed from the 2500 and discarded. Power to the PC is not affected,

but TaskLink’s Job Status report statistics will not be accurate because the

information displayed on this screen includes devices that were in the

middle of the processing cycle when the power was turned off.

Remove all devices from the track sections and programming modules

before turning the power back on. To restore power, pull out on the red

E-stop button. The Task that was running when the button was pressed

must be restarted.

Air Pressure Adjustment Knobs

—High and low pressure can be

adjusted by using these knobs. High and low air pressure are used to

raise and lower the beam, pick up the device, assist devices into output

tubes, and clamp the programming module in place (see Figure 1-3).
