2.2 Functions
The E-PGM+, E-GANG4/6 and E-PGM Serial are designed as a compact system for every
workspace. They are easy to use with simple and convenient features.
Consumable parts such as a 40-pin DIP socket, ENTER button, and joystick buttons are
individually replaceable, ensuring a long service life. Functions of the E-PGM+, E-GANG4/6 and
E-PGM Serial are described in the following sections:
2.2.1 E-PGM+ Programmer
The E-PGM+ is a standalone type universal Programmer, which is capable of programming any
series of ABOV’s microcontrollers. The E-PGM+ consists of main Programmer equipment and the
target device socket and socket adaptor parts.

①10-pin IDC connector for In-System Programming (ISP)
②RS-232C serial communication port (External bar code reader interface port)
③SWD port for firmware update and development purpose (Do not use, it is not for
customers.)
④A button for programming the target device
⑤A button for reading the target device
⑥LCD Screen for Information Display:
—Device name, checksum data and options.
—PASS/FAIL is shown as a result of programming, accompanied by error information
in the case of failure.
⑦40-pin DIP TEXTOOL Socket for single chip programming mode.
⑧LED Indicator with red/green illumination shows the current status when writing is
complete:
—Red for FAIL
—Green for PASS
⑨5-pin Molex 5264 connector for the interface with a Handler equipment
⑩USB mini-B connector to a PC
⑪Power Adaptor Connector for the 15V/1A external power
⑫System Power Switch

2.2.2 E-PGM Serial Programmer
The E-PGM Serial is the standalone ISP type universal Programmer, which is capable of
programming any series of ABOV’s Flash microcontrollers: 94/95/96/97XXXX series (except for
97F1104S/1204S/1316S) and all 32 bit MCUs.
The E-PGM Serial is used for On-board manufacturing purpose because the E-PGM Serial does
not have TEXTOOL Socket.
