The writing means is combined. As shown in FIG. 6, instead of integrally embedding the IC tag 25 in the holding body 24, the data storage unit is constituted by a holding body 24A having a structure in which the IC tag 25 is bonded and held by an adhesive or the like. The data storage unit 23A may be configured.

  Next, the configuration of the control system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 shows only a control system related to a component supply system that takes out an electronic component from the component supply unit 4 and supplies it to the mounting head 8 in the electronic component mounting apparatus. In FIG. 9, the tape feeder 5 is individually provided with a feeder control unit 27, and the feeder control unit 27 controls operations of the tape feeding mechanism 28 and the cover tape discharging mechanism 29. The tape feeding mechanism 28 pitch-feeds the carrier tape 22 drawn into the tape feeder 5.

The identification information 25a is information about the electronic component held on the carrier tape 22, and includes a component code indicating a component document, a manufacturer name, a manufacturing date, a manufacturing lot number, and the like.

  The remaining part number data 25b is data indicating the remaining part number when the use is interrupted in a state where the carrier tape 22 wound and accommodated on the tape reel 21 is partially consumed. The number of remaining parts is calculated by subtracting the number of consumed parts from the total number of known stored parts. As a method of calculating the number of consumed parts, either the number of pitch feeds by the tape feeder 5 or the method based on the number of times taken out by the mounting head 8 can be used.

  The production history data 25c is a history that is used for production after the tape reel 21 is mounted, that is, data for specifying the used date and the mounted mounting line / mounting device, together with the identification information 25a. It is used to ensure traceability in the subsequent process.

  The control unit 30 includes a mounting control unit 31, a storage unit 32, an identification processing unit 33, a remaining part number calculation unit 34, a read / write processing unit 35, a display unit 36, and an operation / input unit 37. The mounting control unit 31 controls the operation of the tape feeder 5 by controlling the operation of the component mounting mechanism for moving the mounting head 8 and outputting an operation command to the feeder control unit 27. The storage unit 32 is a program for executing various processing operations such as a mounting operation, mounting data used for the operation execution, and various data such as reference data for determining whether the carrier tape 22 is correct by referring to the identification information 25a. Remember.

  The identification processing unit 33 compares the identification information 25a included in the carrier tape information read from the IC tag 25 by the reader / writer 15 with the above-described reference data stored in the storage unit 32. It is determined whether the carrier tape 22 attached to the feeder 5 is correct, that is, whether the carrier tape 22 is a regular carrier tape 22 that supplies correct components. That is, the identification processing unit 33 serves as an identification unit that identifies whether the carrier tape 22 is correct based on the identification information included in the read carrier tape information.

  Based on the data on the number of operations of the mounting head 8, the remaining component number calculation unit 34 is retained on the carrier tape 22 and wound around the tape reel 21 while remaining unused. Calculate the number of parts. Therefore, the remaining component number calculation unit 34 serves as a remaining component number calculation unit that calculates the number of remaining components in the tape reel 21.

  The read / write processing unit 35 performs processing of reading data from the IC tag 25 by the reader / writer 15 and writing data to the IC tag 25. That is, in the present embodiment, the read / write processing unit 35 controls the reader / writer 15 to read the carrier tape information from the IC tag 25, and the IC tag 25 to the carrier tape information. Write control means for performing processing for writing information on the carrier tape 22 stored in the tape reel 21 to the IC tag 25 by further controlling the reader / writer 15. It has a form with.

  Then, the read / write processing unit 35 writes data relating to the number of remaining parts calculated by the remaining part number calculating unit 34 to the IC tag 25 by the reader / writer 15. The display unit 36 is a display device, and displays an input command for operation and an operation screen at the time of data input, and displays and notifies the result of the identification processing by the identification processing unit 33. The operation / input unit 37 is an input means such as a keyboard or a touch panel, and performs operation input and data input.

  FIG. 10 shows a work operation when a new carrier tape package 20 is mounted on the component supply unit 4 in the electronic component mounting apparatus. When a new carrier tape 22 is attached to the tape feeder 5, as shown in FIG. 10A, the tape reel 21 around which the carrier tape 22 is wound is placed and held on the reel holder 16. . At this time, the data storage unit 23 attached to the tape reel 21 is attached to the leading end of the carrier tape 22.

  When the tape reel 21 is placed on the reel holder 16, the leading end of the carrier tape 22 is drawn into the tape feeder 5 via the tape inlet 14 as shown in FIG. At this time, the data storage unit 23 is slid downstream (upward) along the carrier tape 22, and the mounting portion 24 b of the holding body 24 is fitted to the fitting plate 14 b of the tape introducing portion 14. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10C, the data storage unit 23 is set at a position facing the reader / writer 15 and enters the state shown in FIG.

  In this state, the reading / writing processing unit 35 controls the reader / writer 15, whereby carrier tape information written in advance in the IC tag 25, that is, identification information 25a, remaining part count data 25b, production history data 25c. Among them, information required at that time is read out. Then, if the identification processing unit 33 performs identification processing on the read identification information 25a and it is determined that the carrier tape 22 holds a regular part, a mounting operation is started. If it is determined that the part is not a regular part, the fact is displayed on the display unit 36 and the operation of the apparatus is stopped.

  In the process of repeatedly executing the mounting operation, that is, the operation of sequentially pulling out the carrier tape 22 from the tape reel 21 by the tape feeder 5 and pitch-feeding the carrier tape 22 to the electronic component take-out position by the mounting head 8, the number of remaining parts is calculated. Is executed. In other words, the number of operations of the transfer mounting operation by the mounting head 8 or the pitch feeding operation by the tape feeder 5 is counted by the remaining component number calculation unit 34, and the number of components consumed by these operations is sequentially subtracted from the total number of stored components. The remaining parts at the timing of the tape reel 21 are calculated in real time.

  Then, the calculated remaining number of parts is written to the IC tag 25 by the reader / writer 15 at a predetermined timing set as the data writing timing (for example, when the operation of the apparatus is interrupted or when the model is switched). As a result, the remaining parts of the tape reel 21 are always stored in the IC tag 25 of the data storage unit 23 attached to each tape reel 21. When the operation of the apparatus is interrupted and the tape reel 21 is removed, the production history data 25c described above is written into the IC tag 25. The production history data 25c is referred to when it is necessary to trace a component supplied from the same tape reel 21 when a defect due to a component defect is found in a later process.

  When the tape reel 21 is used again, the control unit 30 of the electronic component mounting apparatus reads the remaining component number data 25b from the IC tag 25 by attaching the data storage unit 23 to the tape introducing unit 14. It is possible to grasp the remaining parts of the reel 21 and start the mounting operation. Accordingly, it is possible to predict the timing of occurrence of component breakage in the tape feeder 5 to which the supply reel 21 is mounted, and it is possible to prevent the apparatus from being stopped due to sudden component breakage.

  That is, when the carrier tape package 20 is mounted, when the tape reel 21 is held by the reel holding portion 16 and the carrier tape 22 is mounted on the tape feeder 5, the carrier tape 22 pulled out from the tape reel 21 is the tape feeder. The carrier tape information is read out from the IC tag 25 of the data storage unit 23 by the reader / writer 15 disposed in the tape feeding path drawn into 5. Based on the identification information 25a included in the read carrier tape information, the correctness of the carrier tape is identified. In the execution process of the mounting operation, a process of writing data relating to the number of remaining parts in the tape reel to the IC tag 25 is executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reader / writer 15 is controlled by the control unit 30 of the electronic component mounting apparatus, thereby reading data from the IC tag 25 and writing data to the IC tag 25. Although the identification of the tape 22 and the calculation of the number of remaining parts of the tape reel 21 are performed, these functions may be provided to the respective tape feeders 5.

  That is, in FIG. 9, depending on the control function of the electronic component mounting apparatus by providing the feeder control unit 27 with the functions of the identification processing unit 33, the remaining component number calculation unit 34, and the read / write processing unit 35. In addition, component information management such as identification of the carrier tape 22, calculation of the number of remaining components and updating of the number of remaining components written in the IC tag 25 can be performed by the tape feeder 5 alone. In this case, the feeder control unit 27 provided in the component supply device serves as the above-described data read control unit, data write control unit, and remaining component number calculation unit.

As described above, in the present embodiment, data can be freely read and written to the carrier tape package 20 that supplies the carrier tape 22 holding the electronic components.
A data storage unit 23 having a C tag 25 is attached. As a result, compared to the conventional method using a bar code label as identification information of the carrier tape, it is not necessary for the operator to operate the bar code reader every time the reel is installed, resulting in a mistake in the tape reel. It is possible to reliably prevent occurrence of reading errors.

  Furthermore, since new information can be written to the IC tag 25, when the use of the tape reel 21 is interrupted with an unused carrier tape remaining, information on the number of remaining parts and the production history at that time are displayed. The data can be automatically recorded in the data storage unit 23 attached to the tape reel 21. As a result, it is possible to manage component information related to identification and usage history of electronic component supply carrier tapes that are handled while being wound and stored on a tape reel in an efficient and easy-to-use manner. ing.

  The electronic component mounting apparatus and the component information management method in the electronic component mounting apparatus according to the present invention have the effect that the management of the component information related to the identification of the carrier tape, the usage history, and the like can be performed efficiently and conveniently. This is useful in the field of electronic component mounting in the form of performing the above with a carrier tape.
