Last-time Buy for 7th Generation Programmers

Last-time Buy for 7th Generation Programmers

BPM Microsystems plans to accept orders for 7th Generation series programmers, subject to availability. 

Introduced by BPM Microsystems in 2005, the 7th Generation series programmers have offered an exceptional return on investment and productivity for over 17 years.  We recognize that many customers continue to use the 7th Generation, programming millions of devices annually.  Supply chain constraints, key component availability, and increasing cost of support are driving this decision.  

We encourage customers to contact Sales to discuss upgrades and trade-in options.  BPM’s 10th Generation programmers can be more than 10x faster and offer 500x more memory than the 7th Generation programmers.  

Products Affected

1710 & 2710 Series – This includes but is not limited to 1710, 2710-2, 2710-4, 2710-6, FX710-240-2-STE, FX710-240SITE, FX710-AM-240STE and all parts, sub-assemblies or components of said programmers. This policy can be changed or canceled at any time without notice.

  • Warranty repairs will be honored through the standard 1-year hardware warranty.
  • Non-warranty repairs will be provided on a best-effort basis.
  • Parts, sub-assemblies, and components will no longer be sold separately and will be used exclusively at the BPM Microsystems’ factory repair center.
  • Algorithms and Software Updates – Customers with valid support contracts can continue requesting algorithms and accessing BPWin software updates. 
  • Software Support Contracts – Customers can continue to purchase BPWin software support contracts.
  • Hardware Support Contracts – Effective immediately, extended warranty renewals will be offered on a case-by-case basis. BPM will continue to honor those existing hardware support contracts in place at the time of this notice.
  • Socket Modules, Daughter Cards, Socket Cards, and Replacement Sockets – Customers can continue to purchase “adapter” products with the exception of obsolete or discontinued items.

Despite discontinuing selling 7th Generation Manual Programmers, BPM Microsystems will continue to service existing 7th Generation programmers for as long as our stock of critical parts allows.

BPM will continue to offer software updates, algorithms, and socket module development. Existing socket modules and replacement daughter cards will still be available for purchase.

To help you manage this transition, we are offering a Last Time Buy (LTB) opportunity. This allows you to purchase the 1710 Manual Programmer in the quantity you may need for the foreseeable future.

Karen “Kaz” Pearman speaks to Colin Harper, the Global Sales Director for BPM Microsystems during the Electronica 2022 Trade Show in Munich, Germany. Ms. Pearman is an independent journalist with “What’s New in Electronics” WNIE TV.

Issues faced in today’s marketplace

  • Value (smaller form factor, same capacity)
  • Greater socket density available on 10th Generation Sites
  • 3D inspection (automotive quality) in a smaller system
  • Supply Chain
  • Verify the device before it is placed on PBC board
  • Handles all media (tape, tube, tray)
  • Universal support on one platform

Because of a clerical error, we inadvertently used the wrong photograph of Mr. Myers. The correct photo is above.
Mike comes to us with extensive experience in Human Resources marketing and will become a special assistant to the Marketing Manager. “Yeah, Baby!” says Mr. Myers.
