Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a production system, a management apparatus, and a recording medium on which a program for causing the management apparatus to execute a predetermined function is recorded.
Background
In a production system, a production line is constructed by a plurality of processing devices, and a conveyance object conveyed in the production line is subjected to stepwise processing by each processing device. Each processing device is connected to a host computer, and the host computer manages the entire production line. Each processing device updates the version of the software with the correction of the problem of the program and the addition of new functions. As a method of upgrading a version of software, a method of managing the timing of upgrading the version of software of each processing apparatus by a host computer is known (for example, refer to patent document 1).
Patent document 1: international publication No. 2015/121942
In addition, in a production system, if the software is version-upgraded in the processing device, the software must also be version-upgraded in the host computer. The reason for this is that there is no mechanism for confirming the interchangeability of the host computer and each processing apparatus, and it is safe to upgrade the version of the software. Therefore, even when only the software of either the host computer or the processing device is required to be upgraded, the software of either one must be upgraded, and the workload for the operator is increased.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a production system, a management device, and a recording medium recording a program for causing the management device to execute a predetermined function, which can have an effect of reducing the work load on an operator when upgrading the version of software.
A production system according to an aspect of the present invention is a production system in which a plurality of processing apparatuses constructing a production line and a management apparatus that manages the plurality of processing apparatuses cooperate to provide a specific function, the production system including: a collection unit that collects function information installed in software from the plurality of processing devices; an extraction unit that extracts functional information common to software of the management device and the plurality of processing devices; a control unit that controls the functions of the software so that the common functions are valid, based on the extraction result; and a notification unit that notifies the plurality of processing devices of a control signal indicating a common function, wherein the plurality of processing devices include a control unit that controls the function of the software so that the common function indicated by the control signal is enabled.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
According to the present invention, the common function of software between the plurality of processing devices and the management device becomes effective. Since the valid function and the invalid function are shared for each device, the interchangeability is checked, and only when the update information of the valid function is included, the software may be updated in version in all devices. Thus, it is unnecessary for the operator to judge whether or not the version upgrade of the software of the other device is required, in match with the version upgrade of the software of 1 device. In addition, unnecessary version-up operations are eliminated, and the workload of the operator required for the version-up operations can be reduced.

Detailed Description
Next, a production system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a production system of the present embodiment. Fig. 2A and 2B are diagrams showing an example of the update processing of the software of the comparative example. In the present embodiment, an example in which a production line is constituted by an inspection apparatus and a plurality of mounting apparatuses is described, but the production system of the present embodiment is merely an example and can be modified as appropriate.
As shown in fig. 1, in a production line of a substrate W in which an inspection apparatus 10 and a plurality of mounting apparatuses 20 are arranged, a production system 1 mounts components on the substrate W inspected by the inspection apparatus 10 by each of the following mounting apparatuses 20. The inspection apparatus 10 performs image processing to inspect whether the substrate W is acceptable or not to print according to positional deviation, appearance, and the like of solder printed on the substrate W. The plurality of mounting apparatuses 20 construct a production line of the substrates W together with the inspection apparatus 10, and mount various components stepwise for the substrates W sequentially transferred from the inspection apparatus 10. The inspection device 10 and the mounting device 20 are managed by the host computer 30.
The substrate W is a multi-piece substrate composed of a plurality of divided substrates, and various marks such as BOC marks (not shown) serving as positional references of the substrate W and bad board marks (not shown) indicating that the divided substrates are defective in quality are attached thereto. Each mounting apparatus 20 corrects positional deviation due to distortion of the substrate W or the like by recognizing the BOC mark, and performs mounting processing of the component by skipping the divided substrate with the bad board mark by recognizing the bad board mark. In the present embodiment, the description has been given by way of example of the substrate W as a multi-piece substrate, but the substrate W may be a single substrate with various marks attached thereto.
In the production system 1 described above, the inspection device 10, the plurality of mounting devices 20, and the host computer 30 cooperate to provide various functions such as a trace back function, an external output function, and a defective board mark transfer function. The trace back function is a function of storing trace back information collected during the operation of the production line in association with the serial number of the substrate W and the lot number of the component as objective evidence. The external output function is a function for outputting operation information such as the operation time of the device. The bad board mark propagating function is a function of transmitting configuration information of a bad board mark to a subsequent device while omitting the identification process of the bad board mark of each device.
In addition, as shown in fig. 2A, in the production system of the comparative example, since a plurality of devices operate in cooperation, if a version-up is performed for the correction of a problem of software of any device, software of other devices must also be version-up. For example, if a version upgrade is performed for the purpose of correcting a problem of a part of the software of the host computer 30, the software of the unrelated installation device 20 or the like must also be version-upgraded for matching with the version. Due to the unnecessary version-up work, the stop time of the production line becomes long and the work load of the operator increases, and the productivity decreases.
In addition, in general, software is updated while repeating problem correction, function addition, and the like, and when the version of the software is updated, a function unrelated to problem correction may be added. For example, if a version upgrade is implemented for problem correction of a part of the software of the host computer 30, the bad board flag propagation function included in the version upgrade data is newly added. If the version-up operation is performed in all the devices and the bad board mark-up function is added, the bad board mark-up function is made usable in the production system. As described above, although only the host computer 30 is subjected to the problem correction, a new function is provided without compensation.
As shown in fig. 2B, when only the version-up of the software of the host computer 30 is required, the bad board mark transfer function is not added to the mounting device 20 or the like, and therefore the bad board mark transfer function is not usable in the production system. However, since the bad board mark propagating function is added to the host computer 30, an operator who visually recognizes a menu screen of the host computer 30 may misunderstand that the bad board mark propagating function can be used. Therefore, although a new function is not paid, it may become a cause of trouble (double) caused by a malfunction.
Therefore, in the production system 1 of the present embodiment, the functions common to the software of the host computer 30, the inspection apparatus 10, and the installation apparatus 20 are extracted, and only the common functions are automatically activated. Thus, only when the version-up data includes update information of functions common to the respective devices, the software may be version-up in all the devices, and thus, unnecessary version-up work may be eliminated, and the work load of the operator may be reduced. In addition, by setting the function that is not common to the devices to be non-displayed on the menu screen, the operator is not misinformed as to the use of an invalid function, and trouble caused by a misoperation can be avoided.
Next, the production system of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the production system of the present embodiment. The block diagram of the production system shown in fig. 3 is a simplified diagram for explaining the technique of the present invention, and the inspection apparatus, the mounting apparatus, and the host computer are configured to have a common structure.
As shown in fig. 3, the host computer 30 is connected to the inspection apparatus 10 and the mounting apparatus 20 by wire or wirelessly, and the host computer 30 is configured to manage the inspection apparatus 10 and the mounting apparatus 20. The host computer 30 is provided with: a collection unit 31 that collects function information installed in software from the inspection device 10 and the installation device 20; and a database 32 for registering the function information of each device. The collection unit 31 collects the functional information of the software from the inspection device 10 and the installation device 20 at a predetermined timing such as the start of operation, and registers the information in the database 32.
The host computer 30 is provided with: an extraction unit 33 that extracts functional information common to software of each device; and a control unit 34 that controls the functions of the software of the host computer 30 based on the extraction result so that the common functions are enabled. The extraction unit 33 compares the function information registered in the database 32, and extracts common function information having identical function names from the database 32. The common functions included in the extraction result are validated by the control unit 34, and only the functions common to the software of each device can be selectively displayed on the menu screen of the display unit 35.
The host computer 30 is provided with a notification unit 36, and the notification unit 36 notifies the inspection apparatus 10 and the mounting apparatus 20 of a control signal indicating a common function. The notification unit 36 generates a control signal for turning ON a flag of the common function and notifies the inspection device 10 and the mounting device 20 of the generated control signal. The inspection apparatus 10 and the mounting apparatus 20 are provided with control units 11 and 21, and the control units 11 and 21 control the functions of the software so that common functions indicated by the respective control signals are effective. The control units 11 and 21 make the common function of turning ON the flag of the control signal effective, and only the common function of the software of each device can be selectively displayed ON the menu screen of the display units 12 and 22.
In the above manner, common function information of software in the host computer 30, the inspection apparatus 10, and the installation apparatus 20 is shared. The common function information is extracted from the database 32, and the common function is set to be effective in the host computer 30. The control signal for turning ON the flag of the common function is notified to the inspection device 10 and the mounting device 20, and the common function is enabled in the inspection device 10 and the mounting device 20. In addition, when the function names are the same and the versions are different, the functions of the old version are valid, and the interchangeability of the functions between devices related to the difference in version is considered.
The host computer 30, the inspection apparatus 10, and the installation apparatus 20 may be provided with updating units 13, 23, and 37 for updating the version of software based on the version managed in the database 32. In the updating units 13, 23, 37, when the version of the common function is older than that of the other devices, the software automatically performs version-up so that the versions of the common functions match. Thus, the common function of version-up to the latest version is always achieved, and thus the workload of the operator required for the version-up operation can be reduced.
The host computer 30, the inspection apparatus 10, and the control blocks of the mounting apparatus 20 are each constituted by a processor, a memory, a control circuit, and the like that execute various processes. The memory is constituted by one or more recording media ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., depending on the application. In addition to the software, a program of the production system 1 that cooperates between the devices to provide a specific function is recorded in the memory. The database 32 may be provided in the host computer 30 or may be provided in a server independent of the host computer 30.
The operation process of the production system will be described with reference to fig. 4 to 8. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the function information collection processing according to the present embodiment. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of notification processing of the common function of the present embodiment. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the update processing of the software according to the present embodiment. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the notification processing of the common function of the present embodiment. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of notification processing of an invalid function according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, fig. 4 to 8 will be explained with reference numerals of fig. 3 being used as appropriate.
As shown in fig. 4, the software of the host computer 30 supports a trace back function and an external output function. The software of the inspection apparatus 10 supports a trace back function, and the software of each installation apparatus 20 supports a trace back function and an external output function. Further, V1, V2 shown in the table of the database 32 of fig. 4 each show a version of each function. Since each function is set to be invalid in the initial setting of each device, the operator does not use a specific function by mistake until the interchangeability of the functions between the devices is confirmed.
At a predetermined timing such as the start of operation, the function information is extracted from the setting information of the host computer 30 by the collection unit 31 and registered in the database 32. Further, the collection unit 31 transmits a request signal for the function information to the inspection device 10 and each mounting device 20, and registers the function information included in the response signals from the inspection device 10 and each mounting device 20 in the database 32. In the database 32, the function names and versions of the trace back function and the external output function are registered in association with each other for each device. The common function, i.e., the trace-back function, is extracted from the database 32 by the extraction unit 33 of the host computer 30.
As shown in fig. 5, the functions of the software of the host computer 30 are controlled by the control unit 34 of the host computer 30 so that the common trace back function is enabled. The control unit 34 sets the invalid external output function to be non-displayed, and displays only the trace back function on the menu screen of the display unit 35. Thus, when the operator visually recognizes the menu screen of the host computer 30, the operator does not have to make any external output function invalid and unable to cooperate, as can be used in any device in the system, and trouble caused by erroneous operation can be avoided.
The notification unit 36 of the host computer 30 generates a control signal for turning ON a flag of the common trace back function, and notifies the inspection apparatus 10 and each mounting apparatus 20 of the generated control signal. The functions of the software of each device are controlled by the control units 11 and 21 of the inspection device 10 and each installation device 20 so that the common trace back function is effective. The control units 11 and 21 of the inspection device 10 and the respective mounting devices 20 display only the trace-back function on the menu screen of the display unit 22, and thus, the operator is not likely to misunderstand that the external output function is available.
Here, as shown in fig. 6, when a problem occurs in the software of the host computer 30, the version-up of the software of the host computer 30 is performed. The latest version upgrade data not only contains problem correction data, but also contains functional data of a new bad board mark propagation function. At this time, since the version-up data does not include the retrospective update information of the common function, the operator can recognize that the inspection device 10 and the version-up of the software of each installation device 20 are not necessary. Therefore, the work load of the operator required for the unnecessary version-up work is reduced.
Since only the software of the host computer 30 is upgraded, the bad board flag propagation function is supported in the host computer 30, but the bad board flag propagation function is not supported in the inspection apparatus 10 and each of the mounting apparatuses 20. Therefore, the bad board mark propagating function that requires cooperation among the host computer 30, the inspection apparatus 10, and the respective mounting apparatuses 20 is not effective, and unexpected gratuitous provision of new functions can be prevented. If the version-up of the software is performed, the host computer 30 again performs the collection processing of the function information and the notification processing of the common functions as described above.
Since the bad board mark propagating function is not a common function, the bad board mark propagating function is disabled in the host computer 30, and the control signal is not notified from the host computer 30 to the inspection apparatus 10 and each mounting apparatus 20. The bad board mark propagating function is supported in the host computer 30, but since the bad board mark propagating function becomes invalid, the bad board mark propagating function is not displayed in the menu screen of the host computer 30. Therefore, even if the operator visually recognizes the menu screen, the bad board mark propagating function is not displayed, and therefore, the bad board mark propagating function cannot be misunderstood to be usable.
As shown in fig. 7, if the external output function is installed in the software of the inspection apparatus 10, the external output function is also effective as a common function in all the apparatuses. However, the version of the external output function of the host computer 30 is V2, and the version of the external output function of the inspection device 10 and each mounting device 20 is V1. The version V1 of the external output function is a function of outputting the operation time, and the version V2 of the external output function is a function of outputting the real-time device state based on the operation time. When the same function is different in version, the functions up to the old version are shared as common functions. Version V1 of the external output function is valid in the system, and only the output function of the operation time can be used.
In addition, when the versions of the common functions are different, the software may be updated by the inspection device 10, the respective installation devices 20, and the updating units 13, 23, and 37 of the host computer 30 so that the versions of the common functions match. Accordingly, since the version of the external output function of the inspection apparatus 10 and each of the mounting apparatuses 20 is automatically updated from V1 to V2, the version V2 of the external output function becomes effective and the output function of the real-time apparatus state becomes usable in the system. The version-up operation does not need to be performed separately for each device, and the work load on the operator can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 8, when the common function is disabled in any device in the system, the control unit 34 of the host computer 30 controls the software so that the common function is disabled. The notification unit 36 of the host computer 30 generates a control signal for turning OFF the flag of the common function, and notifies the inspection device 10 and each mounting device 20 of the control signal indicating the invalid common function. The software is controlled by the control units 11 and 21 of the inspection device 10 and the respective mounting devices 20 so that the common function of turning OFF the flag of the control signal is disabled.
For example, when the trace back function is temporarily disabled in the inspection apparatus 10, the trace back function of the inspection apparatus 10 is deleted from the database 32 of the host computer 30. The trace back function of the host computer 30 is disabled, and the control signal for turning OFF the flag of the trace back function is notified to each of the mounting apparatuses 20, and the trace back function is disabled. As described above, if the common function is temporarily disabled in any one of the inspection apparatus 10, the mounting apparatus 20, and the host computer 30, the common function is automatically disabled in the other apparatus, and the work load on the operator can be reduced.
As described above, in the production system 1 of the present embodiment, the common function of software among the host computer 30, the inspection device 10, and the respective mounting devices 20 is made effective. Since the valid function and the invalid function are shared for each device, the interchangeability is checked, and only when the version-up data contains update information of the valid function, the software may be updated in all devices. Thus, it is unnecessary for the operator to judge whether or not the version upgrade of the software of the other device is required, in match with the version upgrade of the software of 1 device. In addition, unnecessary version-up work is eliminated, and the work load of an operator required for the version-up work can be reduced.
In the present embodiment, the inspection apparatus and the mounting apparatus are illustrated as the processing apparatus, but the processing apparatus may be any apparatus as long as it is an apparatus for constructing a production line. For example, the processing device may be constituted by a printing device or a reflow device.
In the present embodiment, the host computer is exemplified as the management device, but the management device may be any device capable of managing a plurality of processing devices. For example, the management device may be constituted by an inspection device or a mounting device.
In the present embodiment, the mounting system for the substrate mounting member is described as an example of the production system, but the production system may be any system that processes a conveyance object conveyed in a production line.
In the present embodiment, the trace back function, the external output function, and the bad board mark propagation function are illustrated as examples of the functions of the software, but the functions of the software may be any functions that are used in cooperation with each other among a plurality of devices.
In the present embodiment, the description has been given by illustrating only the functions used cooperatively between the devices, but the software of each device naturally includes the functions used alone. The functions that can be used alone are set to be valid at the stage of initial setting, and are shared between devices without collecting function information.
In the present embodiment, the common function is notified by the ON/OFF of the flag of the control signal, but the control signal may be a signal indicating common function information so that the common function is valid in the plurality of processing devices.
In the present embodiment, the component is not particularly limited as long as it can be mounted on the substrate.
In the present embodiment, the substrate is not limited to a printed board, and may be a flexible substrate placed on a tool substrate.
The program of the present embodiment may be recorded on a recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited, and may be a nonvolatile recording medium such as an optical disc, an magneto-optical disc, or a flash memory.
The present embodiment and the modification have been described, but as other embodiments, the above-described embodiments and modifications may be combined wholly or partially.
The technique of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various changes, substitutions, and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the technical idea. And if the technical idea of the present invention can be implemented by other means through the progress of the technology or other technologies derived from the progress of the technology, the method can be implemented. Thus, the claims cover all embodiments that may fall within the scope of the technical idea.
In the following, the characteristic points in the above-described embodiments are sorted.
The production system according to the above embodiment is a production system in which a plurality of processing devices constructing a production line and a management device that manages the plurality of processing devices cooperate to provide a specific function, and is characterized in that the management device includes: a collection unit that collects function information installed in software from a plurality of processing devices; an extraction unit that extracts functional information common to software of the device and the plurality of processing devices; a control unit that controls the functions of the software so that the common functions are valid, based on the extraction result; and a notification unit that notifies a plurality of processing devices of a control signal indicating a common function, the plurality of processing devices having a control unit that controls the function of the software so that the common function indicated by the control signal is enabled.

According to these configurations, the common function of software between the plurality of processing apparatuses and the management apparatus is made effective. Since the valid function and the invalid function are shared for each device, the interchangeability is checked, and only when the update information of the valid function is included, the software may be updated in version in all devices. Thus, it is unnecessary for the operator to judge whether or not the version upgrade of the software of the other device is required, in match with the version upgrade of the software of 1 device. In addition, unnecessary version-up work is eliminated, and the work load of an operator required for the version-up work can be reduced.
In the production system according to the above embodiment, the control unit of the management device and the plurality of processing devices sets the invalid function to be non-displayed on the menu screen. According to this configuration, when the operator visually recognizes the menu screen, the operator is not misunderstood as if the operator is not able to use the functions provided by the system, and trouble caused by the misoperations can be avoided.
In the production system according to the above embodiment, the control unit of the management device and the plurality of processing devices invalidates the function of the software as the initial setting, and validates the common function in response to the control signal. According to this configuration, only the common function can be reliably made effective in the plurality of processing apparatuses and the management apparatus.
In the production system according to the above embodiment, when the versions of the common functions are different, the control unit of the management device and the plurality of processing devices controls the functions of the software so that the functions of the old versions are valid. According to this configuration, only the functions up to the old version can be made valid in consideration of the interchangeability of the functions related to the difference in version.
In the production system according to the above embodiment, when the common function is disabled in any one of the management device and the plurality of processing devices, the control unit of the management device controls the function of the software so that the common function is disabled, and the notification unit of the management device notifies the plurality of processing devices of a control signal indicating the disabled common function, and the control unit of the plurality of processing devices controls the software so that the disabled common function indicated by the control signal is disabled. According to this configuration, if the function common to any one of the management device and the plurality of processing devices is temporarily disabled, the function common to the other devices is automatically disabled. Thus, it is not necessary to perform a job individually for the device in order to invalidate the common function, and the workload of the operator can be reduced.
In the production system according to the above embodiment, the management device and the plurality of processing devices include an update unit that updates the software so that versions of common functions match. According to this configuration, the software can be automatically upgraded so that the versions of the common functions match, and the workload of the operator required for the version-up operation can be reduced.
The program described in the above embodiment is a program for a production system in which a plurality of processing apparatuses and a management apparatus that manages the plurality of processing apparatuses cooperate to provide a specific function, the program causing the management apparatus to execute: collecting function information installed in software from a plurality of processing devices; extracting functional information common to software of the device and the plurality of processing devices; controlling the functions of the software according to the extraction result so that the common functions become effective; and notifying control signals representing common functions to the plurality of processing devices, the program causing the plurality of processing devices to execute a step of controlling the functions of the software so that the common functions represented by the control signals are enabled. According to this configuration, the existing configuration is not changed by installing the program in the production system, and the workload of the operator can be reduced when the version of the software is updated.
