Description

  The present invention relates to an operation parameter setting support system used in a component mounting apparatus for mounting components on a board.

  In a component mounting apparatus that mounts electronic components on a substrate, the component mounting device takes out the electronic components supplied by the component supply device, for example, in a form held on a carrier tape, by a mounting head equipped with a suction nozzle, and transfers and mounts the components on the substrate. Work is performed repeatedly. Since component mounting work is composed of individual work operations, and each work operation varies depending on the type of component to be worked, operation parameters that define the execution mode of individual work operations are set in advance for each work operation and each component type. Thus, a part library for production execution for each board type is created. Then, by controlling the operation mechanism of each part of the component mounting apparatus based on these operation parameters, a work operation suitable for the component type is executed.

  Conventionally, production data including such a component library has been created for each board type based on CAD data and BOM data provided from the design department (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the prior art shown in this patent document example, information such as dimensions and shape of a mounting target component provided by a component electronic catalog as BOM data and information such as mounting position data of a mounting target component given as CAD data are included. It describes that mounting data (production data) is created based on this, and the mounting machine is controlled based on the created mounting data.

Japanese Patent No. 3853414

  In recent years, with the progress of miniaturization of electronic devices and miniaturization of electronic components, component mounting apparatuses are required to have more precise operation control than conventional ones. For this reason, the operation parameters defined in the parts library constituting the production data are also complicated, and more items need to be set more finely than in the past. However, these operating parameters include operating parameters that are difficult to determine uniquely using only the CAD data and BOM data that have been conventionally used for creating a component library. For this reason, there is a problem of how to handle such operating parameters in the creation and management of the parts library, and the reliability of the parts library provided to the production site is increased along with an increase in labor and labor in data creation. The problem of decline has arisen.

  In other words, in the prior art, when it is necessary to input parameters that are not defined in CAD data or BOM data, the data input is left to the judgment of the person in charge of data creation. There was a situation where an unknown inappropriate parameter was entered. After production data including such inappropriate parameters is sent to the production site, the operator confirms the actual parts actually supplied to the component mounting device and corrects those inappropriate parameters. Since complicated work was performed, the load on the worker was large, and work improvement was desired. In addition, since such correction work often depends on the experience and intuition of the operator, it is difficult to avoid variations in correction contents and input errors by the operator, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the parts library. It was.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an operation parameter setting support system capable of reducing the data correction load of the component library and improving the reliability of the component library.

  The operation parameter setting support system of the present invention is a component mounting apparatus that takes out an electronic component from a component supply unit provided with at least a tape feeder by a mounting head having a suction nozzle, and transfers and mounts the electronic component on a substrate. An operation parameter setting support system for setting an operation parameter for defining an operation mode of mounting work by the component parameter setting including at least one of the component information about the electronic component or the tape information about the carrier tape supplied by the tape feeder A correlation table in which an input unit for inputting a value and a setting value of an operation parameter related to the operation of at least one component mounting apparatus corresponding to the component parameter, and the operation parameter corresponding to the component parameter Memory Comprising a part, the set value of the component parameters inputted to the input unit and the set value of the operating parameter, and a creation unit configured to create a rule table from said correlation table stored in the storage unit.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the data correction load of the component library and improve the reliability of the component library.

Then, the substrate 13 after the component mounting is carried into the reflow apparatus M6, where the component joining solder is melted and solidified by being heated according to a predetermined heating profile. As a result, the electronic component is solder-bonded to the substrate 13 to complete the mounting substrate on which the electronic component is mounted on the substrate 13, and is collected by the substrate collecting device M7.

  Next, the configuration and function of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 2, which shows a cross-section of the main parts of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5, a substrate transport mechanism 12 is disposed on the base 11 in the substrate transport direction (X direction, the direction perpendicular to the drawing in the drawing). The board transport mechanism 12 transports the board 13 carried from the solder printing apparatus M3, and positions and holds the board 13 at the mounting work position by the component mounting mechanism 17. The component mounting mechanism 17 has a configuration in which a mounting head 19 having a suction nozzle 20 mounted at the lower end thereof is horizontally moved in the X and Y directions by a head moving mechanism 18. To be loaded.

  A component supply unit 14 is disposed on the side of the substrate transport mechanism 12 in the Y direction (a direction orthogonal to the X direction). A carriage 21 in which the tape feeder 15 is mounted in advance is set in a plurality of feeder mounting slots (not shown) provided in the feeder base 21a. By clamping the feeder base 21 a against the fixed base 11 a provided on the base 11, the position of the carriage 21 is fixed in the component supply unit 14.

  Each feeder mounting slot is assigned a feeder address. By specifying these feeder addresses, the tape feeder 15 in the component supply unit 14 can be individually specified. The carriage 21 holds a tape reel 22 that stores a carrier tape 23 holding electronic components in a wound state. The carrier tape 23 drawn out from the tape reel 22 is pitch-fed by the tape feeder 15 to the component removal position by the suction nozzle 20.

  A component recognition camera 16 is disposed between the component supply unit 14 and the substrate 13, and the mounting head 19 that picks up the electronic component from the tape feeder 15 by the suction nozzle 20 moves above the component recognition camera 16. Accordingly, the electronic component in the state of being sucked and held by the suction nozzle 20 is imaged by the component recognition camera 16.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the tape feeder 15 includes a feeder main body portion 15 a constituting the entire shape of the tape feeder 15 and a mounting portion 15 b protruding downward from the lower surface of the feeder main body portion 15 a. . When the tape feeder 15 is mounted with the lower surface of the feeder main body 15a aligned with the feeder base 21a, the connector provided on the mounting portion 15b is fitted into the feeder base 21a. As a result, the tape feeder 15 is fixedly mounted on the component supply unit 14, and the tape feeder 15 is electrically connected to the apparatus main bodies of the respective component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5.

  Inside the feeder main body 15 a, a tape running path 15 c that opens to the upstream end of the feeder main body 15 a in the tape feeding direction is provided in communication with the mounting position by the mounting head 19. The tape running path 15c has a function of guiding the tape feeding of the carrier tape 23 drawn from the tape reel 22 and introduced into the feeder main body 15a from the upstream side of the feeder main body 15a to the suction position by the mounting head 19. doing.

  In the tape feeding of the carrier tape 23 by the tape feeder 15, the end of the carrier tape 23A already mounted on the tape feeder 15 and the head of the new carrier tape 23B drawn out from the new tape reel 22 replaced due to the parts being cut off. A splicing operation is performed in which the parts are joined together using a joining tape. As a result, each time the tape reel 22 is replaced due to parts being cut off, a joint portion J is formed by joining the two carrier tapes 23, and the carrier tape 23 is fed by the tape feeder 15 without interruption.

  The carrier tape 23 has a configuration in which component pockets 23b for storing and holding the electronic components P are provided at a predetermined pitch on a base tape 23a constituting the tape body.

In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the correlation between the price information 53a that is the component parameter 52 and the corresponding operation parameter 55 is shown. Here, the price information 53a includes “re-execution count for suction operation” 57a, “re-execution count for component recognition operation” 57b, “re-execution operation setting for suction operation” 57c, and “re-execution operation setting for component recognition operation”. 57d, “feed operation setting of the seam portion where the carrier tapes are joined” 57e.

  The rule table 33b is table data that predefines a correspondence relationship between the setting value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the setting value of the component parameter 52. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, two set values (inexpensive / expensive) of the price information 53a, which is the component parameter 52, are added to the operation parameter 55 as “number of times of re-execution for suction operation” 57a and “carrier tape splicing”. The set values of the combined seam feeding operation setting 57e and the number of re-execution times for the component recognition operation 57b are associated with each other to form the rule table 33b. Here, a group of setting values of a plurality of operation parameters 55 corresponding to one setting value of the component parameter 52 is defined as one individual rule table 33b *. Here, the pattern number 58 described in the category column 59 is a number for specifying these individual rule tables 33b *.

  The “low price” which is one set value of the price information 53a includes the operation parameters 55 “re-execution times for the suction operation” 57a, “feed operation setting of the joint portion where the carrier tape is joined” 57e, “part recognition” The number of re-executions for the operation 57b corresponds to the set value of the operation parameter 55 “parts out”, “batch feed”, and an integer value “3”, respectively.

  That is, for electronic components whose price information 53a is inexpensive, set values are determined as follows. First, as the set value for the “re-execution number for the suction operation” 57a, the same number as the number of times of repeated suction execution set in advance for the determination of occurrence of “parts out” is input as the set value. Also, as the setting value for the “feed operation setting for the seam portion where the carrier tapes are joined” 57e, “batch feeding” for feeding the tape by a predetermined tape length is input as the setting value. Further, an integer value (3) indicating that the recognition operation is re-executed up to three times at the time of a recognition error is input as a setting value for the “re-execution count for the component recognition operation” 57b. The plurality of setting values set for the electronic component whose price information 53a is inexpensive are specified as the individual rule table 33b * ("pattern 1" 58a) having the pattern number 58 of (1).

  On the other hand, for electronic parts with expensive price information 53a, set values are determined as follows. First, as the set value for the “re-execution count for the suction operation” 57a, an integer value (1) meaning that the re-execution count of the suction operation is limited to one is input as the set value. The setting value for the “feed operation setting of the seam portion joined with the carrier tape” 57e is “no count” that stipulates that the component pocket 23b in which electronic components are present is not counted without being counted as a suction error. Is input as a set value. Further, an integer value (2) indicating that the recognition operation is re-executed twice at the time of a recognition error is input as the setting value for the “re-execution count for the component recognition operation” 57b. Then, the plurality of set values set for the expensive electronic component with the price information 53a described above are specified as the individual rule table 33b * (“pattern 2” 58b) having the pattern number 58 of (2).

  The pattern data 33c is defined by a configuration in which the individual rule table 33b * including a plurality of setting values is specified by the pattern number 58, and becomes part of information constituting the table data 33. That is, in the present embodiment, the set values for the plurality of operation parameters 55 specified by one pattern number 58 are defined as individual rule tables 33b *. In other words, the component library 32a stores a plurality of individual rule tables 33b * specified by the pattern number 58.

  By using the rule table 33b created in this way and the pattern data 33c defined in the rule table 33b, an operator who has confirmed an actual electronic component on the component mounting line 4 can obtain price information 53a of the electronic component. It is determined whether the set value is “inexpensive” or “expensive”, and the pattern number 58 corresponding to the set value is selected (here, either “pattern 1” or “pattern 2” is selected) It is possible to set appropriate setting values for the plurality of operation parameters 55 only by a simple operation of inputting the information.

  FIG. 7 shows an actual example of the pattern selection 60 in which the operation parameter is set by selecting the pattern number 58. 8, a feeder address 61 is a position identification number (1, 2, 3, 4,...) Assigned to individually identify a plurality of tape feeders 15 mounted on the feeder base 21a (see FIG. 3). ). The sub-address 62 is an auxiliary identification code for identifying the two tape feeders 15 (L or R) in the case of a double feeder in which the two tape feeders 15 are mounted for one feeder address 61.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, one tape feeder 15 (single feeder) is attached to the specific address 61a with the feeder address 61 being 1, 2, and two tape feeders are being provided to the specific address 61b with the feeder address 61 being 3, 4. An example in which 15 (double feeder) is mounted is shown. As shown in the selection column 63, the “pattern 2” 58b is selected for the specific address 61a, and the “pattern 1” 58a is selected for the specific address 61b.

  In the above configuration, the storage unit 31 stores the correlation table 33a in which the component parameter 52 and the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the component parameter 52 are associated with each other. A rule table creation processing unit 30 a (creation unit) that is a function of the processing unit 30 includes a setting value of the component parameter 52 and a setting value of the operation parameter 55 input to the input unit 36, and a correlation table stored in the storage unit 31. Processing for creating a rule table 33b from 33a is performed. That is, by inputting the setting value of the component parameter 52 and the setting value of the operation parameter 55 to the input unit 36, the rule table creation processing unit 30 a reads the correlation table 33 a stored in advance from the storage unit 31. Then, by applying the set value of the component parameter 52 and the set value of the operation parameter 55 to the correlation table 33a, the rule table 33b is created and stored in the storage unit 31.

  In addition, the operation parameter setting processing unit 30 b (setting unit) performs a process of setting the setting value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the setting value of the component parameter 52 input to the input unit 36. That is, by inputting the set value of the component parameter 52 to the input unit 36, the operation parameter setting processing unit 30 b reads the above-described stored rule table 33 b from the storage unit 31. Then, the setting value of the component parameter 52 based on the rule table 33 b is derived from the input setting value of the component parameter 52 and the rule table 33 b and displayed on the display unit 37.

  Next, the configuration of the control system of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 will be described. The component mounting apparatus M4 includes a control unit 40 and a storage unit 41. The storage unit 41 stores data having the same contents as the production data 32 and the table data 33 stored in the storage unit 31 of the management device 3. That is, the storage unit 41 stores information used for control processing by the control unit 40, such as the component library 32a shown in FIG. 5, the correlation table 33a, the rule table 33b, and the pattern data 33c shown in FIG.

  The control unit 40 is connected to the board transport mechanism 12, the component mounting mechanism 17, and the tape feeder 15, and includes a mounting control unit 40a, an input unit 40b, a display unit 40c, a setting unit 40d, and a verification unit 40e. The mounting control unit 40 a controls operations of the board transport mechanism 12, the component mounting mechanism 17, and the tape feeder 15 based on the production data 32 stored in the storage unit 41. Thereby, a component mounting operation for transferring and mounting the electronic component P taken out from the tape feeder 15 onto the substrate 13 is executed.

  A setting value of a component parameter including at least one of component information regarding the electronic component P or tape information regarding the carrier tape supplied by the tape feeder is input to the input unit 40b. The display unit 40c displays various screens such as a guidance screen at the time of input by the input unit 40b, a screen for processing execution by the setting unit 40d, a screen showing the processing execution result, and a pattern selection screen shown in FIG. . The setting unit 40d sets operation parameter setting values corresponding to the component parameter setting values input to the input unit 40b based on the rule table 33b.

  The collation unit 40e has a function of collating the set value of the operation parameter 55 input to the input unit 40b and the set value of the operation parameter 55 set by the setting unit 40d, and is input to the input unit 40b. If the set value of the operation parameter 55 does not match the set value of the operation parameter 55 set by the setting unit 40d, an error is notified to the display unit 40c (see FIG. 12).

  In a state where the tape feeder 15 is mounted on the feeder base 21a, the control unit 25 provided in the tape feeder 15 is connected to the control unit 40 of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 25 includes a feeder control unit 42, a feeder storage unit 43, a display unit 44, an operation / input unit 45, and a change processing unit 46.

  The feeder control unit 42 includes a motor driving unit 42 a for driving the tape feeding motor 26, and controls the tape feeding operation by the tape feeder 15. The feeder storage unit 43, the display unit 44, the operation / input unit 45, and the change processing unit 46 are processing functions related to the setting support of the operation parameter 55, and the operator only accesses the tape feeder 15 and passes through the operation unit 29. Thus, processing relating to setting and changing of the operation parameter 55 can be performed.

  That is, when the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 are targeted for operation, an input operation performed on the input unit 40b is performed, and when each tape feeder 15 is targeted, the operation / input unit is operated via the operation input unit 29c. 45 is the target. In the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5, the display content displayed on the display unit 40c is displayed on the display unit 29b of the operation unit 29 by the display process by the display unit 44.

  The feeder storage unit 43 sets a setting value of a component parameter 52 including at least one of component information 53 related to the electronic component P or tape information 54 related to the carrier tape 23 and an operation parameter 55 related to at least one operation of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5. A rule table 33b in which values are associated with each other, and a pattern (pattern number 58) for specifying a plurality of setting values associated and associated in the rule table 33b are stored. The display unit 44 displays the pattern (see FIG. 6B) of the rule table 33b stored in the feeder storage unit 43. As a display form, the pattern number 58 is displayed on the display unit 29 b provided in the operation unit 29. FIG. 3 shows an example in which an integer value (2) meaning “pattern 2” 58b is displayed on the display unit 29b.

  The operation / input unit 45 performs a display operation input for displaying the pattern of the rule table 33b on the display unit 44 and a change operation input for changing the pattern of the displayed rule table 33b. This input operation is performed using the function of the operation input unit 29 c provided in the operation unit 29. The change processing unit 46 changes the pattern (pattern number 58) of the rule table 33b stored in the storage unit 41 and the feeder storage unit 43 of the component mounting apparatus M4 based on the change operation input input to the operation / input unit 45. Signal for output.

  The configuration of the control system shown in FIG. 4 is one example for performing operation parameter setting support in the component mounting system 1, and various variations are possible to achieve the same function. For example, in FIG. 4, the rule table 33b is created and the operation parameter 55 is set by the processing functions of the processing unit 30 (rule table creation processing unit 30a, operation parameter setting processing unit 30b) provided in the management apparatus 3. However, you may make it give these functions to the control part 40 of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5. For example, the setting unit 40d is provided with processing functions similar to those of the rule table creation processing unit 30a and the operation parameter setting processing unit 30b, and the input unit 36 and the display unit 37 of the management device 3 and the input of the component mounting devices M4 and M5. The unit 40b and the display unit 40c are configured to have the same function.

  In the above configuration, the combination of the input unit 36, the storage unit 31, and the rule table creation processing unit 30a having the above-described functions is an operation parameter setting support for setting the operation parameter 55 that defines the execution mode of the mounting operation by the component mounting apparatus M4. Configure the system. Further, in the present embodiment, an operation parameter setting processing unit 30b and a display unit 37 are provided, and the operation parameter setting processing unit 30b is created by the component parameter 52 input to the input unit 36 and the rule table creation processing unit 30a. Based on the rule table 33b, the set value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the input component parameter 52 is set. Then, the set value of the set operation parameter 55 is displayed on the display unit 37.

  The combination of the setting unit 40d having the functions of the input unit 40b, the storage unit 41, and the creation unit constitutes an operation parameter setting support system for setting the operation parameter 55 that defines the execution mode of the mounting operation by the component mounting apparatus M4. To do. Further, in the present embodiment, a setting unit 40d and a display unit 40c are provided. The setting unit 40d includes a component parameter 52 input to the input unit 40b and a rule table 33b generated by the rule table generation processing unit 30a. Based on the above, the set value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the input component parameter 52 is set. Then, the set value of the set operation parameter 55 is displayed on the display unit 40c.

  Furthermore, in the component mounting system 1, when each of the plurality of component mounting lines 4 is provided with a line control unit (not shown) for managing the line, the control of the component mounting device M4 is controlled in the control device of the line management unit. A function similar to that of the unit 40 may be provided. As a result, operations related to operation parameter setting support can be executed for each component mounting line 4 without accessing the management device 3 and the component mounting devices M4 and M5.

  The component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 and the operation parameter setting support system according to the present embodiment are configured as described above. Hereinafter, various processes executed in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. . First, with reference to FIG. 8, a description will be given of the flow of setting the setting values of the operation parameters that define the operation mode of the mounting work by the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5, that is, the component library data creation.

  In the component library data creation shown here, the management device 3 arranged in the data creation area once creates the component library 32a based only on the existing usable data, and the components in the component mounting line 4 in the production area. In the process of executing the mounting operation, necessary data change is performed on the basis of the result of checking the actual actual part, and the part library 32a is updated.

  When the creation of the part library data is started (ST1), the CAD data 34 and the BOM data 35 stored in the storage unit 31 are first read and acquired by the processing unit 30 of the management apparatus 3 (ST2). Based on the acquired CAD data 34 and BOM data 35, the operation parameter 55 is set by the processing function of the operation parameter setting processing unit 30b (ST3).

  Thereby, the component library 32a based only on the existing data stored in the storage unit 31 is once created. The component library 32a created at this stage is not set based on the component information 53 determined for each electronic component. For the unconfirmed information, a preset default value is used for convenience. Yes. Therefore, at the stage where the production in the production area is actually executed, the unconfirmed information is determined based on the result of confirming the actual electronic parts, and appropriate data correction is performed. The following processing is conveniently performed by the control unit 40 or the line management device of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 of the component mounting line 4 arranged in the production area.

  In this data correction, the actual electronic components actually used are confirmed for items that are unconfirmed information and for which default values are provisionally set. Based on the actual part information, the part parameter 52 is updated (ST4). That is, an appropriate set value of the component parameter 52 including at least one of the component information 53 regarding the electronic component or the tape information 54 regarding the carrier tape 23 supplied by the tape feeder 15 is acquired and updated.

  In this update process, first, the rule table 33b included in the table data 33 stored in the storage unit 41 is acquired (ST5). That is, the rule table 33b in which the setting value of the component parameter 52 is associated with the setting value of the operation parameter 55 related to at least one operation of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 is read. Then, the optimum value of the operation parameter 55 is set based on the updated component parameter 52 and the rule table 33b (ST6).

  That is, the setting value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the acquired setting value of the component parameter 52 is set based on the rule table 33b. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, by selecting and inputting the pattern number 58, the optimum values of the plurality of operation parameters 55 grouped as individual rule tables 33b * in the rule table 33b are set in a lump. The Thereby, the part library data creation process for setting the setting value of the operation parameter 55 is finished (ST7).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 9, an initial value setting process that can be used as a default value in the above-described component library data creation process is set. Here, since the initial value is set based on actual production data, the example in which these processes are executed by the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 arranged on the component mounting line 4 is adopted. Show. Of course, this process may be executed using the function of the management apparatus 3.

  When the initial value setting process is started (ST11), first, the component library 32a stored in the storage unit 41 is acquired (ST12). As described above, the component library 32a stores a plurality of rule tables 33b specified by the pattern number 28. Next, for each component in the acquired component library 32a, the number of patterns in the rule table 33b is counted by the function of the setting unit 40d (ST13). The pattern with the largest count is set as the initial value (ST14). In other words, the setting unit 40d sets a setting value corresponding to the “pattern” (a combination of the setting value of the component parameter 52 and the setting value of the operation parameter 55) of the rule table 33b set most frequently from the component library 32a. Set as initial value.

  Next, a part library data creation flow using the initial values set by the above method will be described with reference to FIG. When the creation of the parts library data is started (ST21), first, the CAD data 34 and the BOM data 35 stored in the storage unit 31 are read and acquired by the processing unit 30 of the management apparatus 3 (ST22). Based on the acquired CAD data 34 and BOM data 35, the operation parameter 55 is set by the processing function of the operation parameter setting processing unit 30b (ST23). Thereby, the component library 32a based only on the existing data stored in the storage unit 31 is once created.

  Since an unset operation parameter exists in the component library 32a created at this stage, the initial value set as described above is set for the unset operation parameter (ST24). As described above, by using the initial value set based on the production performance, it is possible to set the operation parameter with higher reliability as compared with the case where a simple default value without any particular support is set.

  Next, the component parameter 52 is acquired (ST25). When acquiring the component parameter 52, the data of the existing component library 32a may be used, or the component information is acquired by confirming the actual electronic component as shown in the flow of FIG. Also good. That is, an appropriate set value of the component parameter 52 including at least one of the component information 53 regarding the electronic component or the tape information 54 regarding the carrier tape 23 supplied by the tape feeder 15 is acquired and updated.

  In this update process, first, the rule table 33b included in the table data 33 stored in the storage unit 41 is acquired (ST26). That is, the rule table 33b in which the setting value of the component parameter 52 is associated with the setting value of the operation parameter 55 related to at least one operation of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 is read. Then, based on the acquired component parameter 52 and the rule table 33b, it is determined whether or not the operation parameter 55 has been changed (ST27).

  If the operation parameter 55 has been changed, the part library data creation process for setting the setting value of the operation parameter 55 is terminated (ST29). If the operation parameter 55 is not changed in (ST27), the optimum value of the operation parameter 55 is set based on the acquired component parameter 52 and the rule table 33b as in the example shown in FIG. After that, the parts library data creation process is terminated (ST29).

  Next, referring to FIG. 11, a check process for checking whether or not the set operation parameter is correct in the component library 32a created according to the flow shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 10 will be described. This check process is executed by the collation unit 40e included in the control unit 40 of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 arranged on the component mounting line 4 in the production area.

  When the process is started, it is first determined whether or not a part library has been created (ST31). If it is confirmed that the creation has been completed, the operation parameter based on the input component parameter is collated with the operation parameter of the selected pattern for each electronic component (ST32). Next, it is determined whether or not the collation results of the operation parameters based on the component parameters of all the electronic components match (ST33).

  If it is determined that the collation results do not match, error notification is given to the mismatched electronic components (ST34). FIG. 12 shows an error notification screen displayed on the display unit 40c at the time of this error notification. That is, the error notification 64 having the same configuration as the pattern selection screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 40c, and the specific address 61a corresponding to the arrangement position of the tape feeder 15 storing the mismatched electronic components among the feeder addresses 61 is displayed. It is displayed in reverse video.

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a setting change by correcting the mismatched part (ST35). If there is no setting change and the inconsistent state continues, the process returns to (ST34) to perform error notification. If it is confirmed in (ST35) that the setting has been changed, that is, it has been confirmed that the correction has been changed to an appropriate setting value, the process returns to (ST32) and the same collation processing is repeatedly executed for the next electronic component. Then, in (ST33), it is confirmed that the collation results of the operation parameters based on the component parameters of all the electronic components are matched, and the check process is finished (ST36).

  That is, the collation unit 40e causes the display unit 40c to report an error when the input set value of the operation parameter 55 does not match the set value of the operation parameter 55 set by the setting unit 40d. In this check process, the display unit 40c displays the set value of the operation parameter 55 set by the setting unit 40d at the time of error notification.

  Next, a second example of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, each worker 5 assigned to each component mounting line 4 has a portable terminal 6, and various operations for operating the apparatus are performed on the portable terminal 6. It is possible to run through. Here, various operations for setting the operation parameter 55 described above are executed via the portable terminal 6.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the mobile terminal 6 includes a display panel 6 a that can perform a touch operation for displaying or inputting a screen having a predetermined content. On the display panel 6a, a screen for pattern selection shown in FIG. 7 and a screen for error notification shown in FIG. 12 are displayed. The control unit 70 provided in the portable terminal 6 includes a terminal control unit 71, a display unit 72, an operation / input unit 73, and a communication unit 74.

  The terminal control unit 71 is a processing device having a calculation function, and includes a memory 71a, a pattern setting unit 71b, and a pattern matching unit 71c. The display unit 72 performs processing for displaying a predetermined screen on the display panel 6a. The operation / input unit 73 performs a process for inputting an operation command or data by a touch operation on the display panel 6a. The communication unit 74 is an interface having a wireless communication function, and connects the mobile terminal 6 to the communication network 2 wirelessly. Thereby, data can be transmitted and received between the portable terminal 6 and other equipment such as the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5.

  Data downloaded from other equipment such as the storage unit 41 of the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5 is written in the memory 71a. The pattern setting unit 71b performs processing for setting operation parameters by pattern selection. That is, first, the pattern selection screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display panel 6 a by the display function of the display unit 72. Then, when the operator performs pattern selection input (see the selection field 63 shown in FIG. 7) on the displayed pattern selection screen, an appropriate operation parameter 55 corresponding to the selected pattern number 28 is set.

  The pattern matching unit 71c has a function corresponding to the matching unit 40e in the component mounting apparatuses M4 and M5, and performs the operation parameter check process shown in FIG. 11 by matching the selected pattern number 28. The check result is obtained by causing the display unit 72 to display the error notification screen shown in FIG. 12 on the display panel 6a.

  As described above, in setting the setting value of the operation parameter 55 in the component mounting apparatus shown in the present embodiment, at least the component information 53 regarding the electronic component or the tape information 54 regarding the carrier tape 23 supplied by the tape feeder 15 is used. The setting value of the component parameter 52 including one is input, and the rule table 33b in which the component parameter 52 and the setting value of the operation parameter 55 related to at least one operation of the component mounting apparatus are associated with each other is stored. The setting value of the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the setting value of the parameter 52 is set based on the rule table 33b. As a result, the data correction load of the parts library 32a required in the production area is reduced, and the setting value of the operation parameter 55 is set based on the rule table 33b. The reliability of the part library can be improved.

  In the configuration in which the tape feeder 15 is arranged in the component supply unit 14, a rule table 33b in which the setting value of the component parameter 52 and the setting value of the operation parameter 55 are associated with the tape feeder 15 and a pattern for specifying the rule table 33b. Is stored, the stored pattern of the rule table 33b is displayed, a change operation input for changing the pattern of the displayed rule table is performed, and the rule table 33b stored based on the change operation input is further displayed. A signal for changing the pattern is output. As a result, the operator can execute an operation for setting the operation parameter 55 for each individual tape feeder 15, and the workability in the production area can be improved.

  In the operation parameter setting support system shown in the present embodiment, the input unit 36 inputs the set value of the component parameter 52 and the set value of the operation parameter 55 related to the operation of at least one component mounting apparatus corresponding to the component parameter 52. And a storage unit 31 for storing a correlation table 33a in which the component parameter 52 and the operation parameter 55 corresponding to the component parameter 52 are associated with each other, and the setting value of the component parameter 52 and the setting value of the operation parameter 55 input to the input unit 36 And a rule table creation processing unit 30a that creates a rule table 33b from the correlation table 33a stored in the storage unit 31. Thereby, the rule table 33b used for setting the operation parameter 55 can be easily created.

  In the above-described embodiment, the correlation table and the rule table for one component parameter are created. However, the correlation table 33a and the rule table 33b may be created using a plurality of component parameters and a plurality of operation parameters. FIG. 15A is an explanatory diagram of a configuration of a correlation table in a component library used in a component mounting system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15B is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the present invention. It is structure explanatory drawing of the rule table in the component library used for a component mounting system. Here, in another embodiment of the present invention, a case where price information 53a and carrier tape color information 53b are used as the component parameter 52 will be described.

  First, price information 53a and carrier tape color information 53b are set as component parameters 52, and operation parameters 55 are set to parameters corresponding to price information 53a and carrier tape color information 53b. Here, “Re-execution count for suction operation” 57a, “Re-execution count for component recognition operation” 57b, “Re-execution operation setting for suction operation” 57c, “Re-execution operation setting for component recognition operation” 57d, “Carrier tape” Are set as operation parameters 55. “Feeding operation setting for seam portion” 57e, “adsorption position automatic teach use setting” 57f, and “adsorption position automatic teach execution timing setting” 57g. By setting the component parameter 52 and the operation parameter 55, the correlation table 33a is created.

  Next, six patterns (pattern numbers 1 to 3) are combined by combining the low / expensive value set value of the price information 53a and the white, black, and transparent set values of the color information 53b of the carrier tape. 6) is set. The set value of each operation parameter 55 is input to each of the set six pattern numbers. The set value of the operation parameter 55 is set by manual input by an operator or a predetermined input value, thereby creating an individual rule table 33b * corresponding to each pattern number (shown in FIG. 6). See also example).

  Here, the rule table 33b * described above corresponds to six pattern numbers, whereas FIG. 15B explains that there are three pattern numbers in the rule table 33b * of the component parameter 52. . In each pattern of the rule table 33b * created as described above, the setting values of the operation parameter 55 are compared, and the patterns in which all the setting values of the operation parameter 55 match are merged. The setting items of the component parameter 52 of the merged pattern are also merged to create the rule table 33b *.

  For this reason, among the patterns indicated by the pattern number 58 in FIG. 15B, in the pattern numbers 1 and 3, a plurality of items are set as the carrier tape color setting items of the component parameter 52. By merging in this way and reducing the number of patterns, the number of patterns set by the operator can be reduced, and workability can be facilitated. In another embodiment of the present invention, a part library is created and an initial value setting process is performed in the same manner as in the above example using the rule table 33b created and the pattern data 33c defined in the rule table 33b.

  In the above, it demonstrated based on one Embodiment of this invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these constituent elements and combinations of processing processes in this embodiment, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the price information has been described as information indicating whether the electronic component belongs to a low price or high price in light of a preset price determination standard. It may be a simple judgment criterion that is expensive if one unit price is 1000 yen or more and inexpensive if it is 1000 yen or less. In addition, even for the same electronic component, the price may differ depending on the purchase time, so a price determination criterion based on the actual purchase price may be used. For example, based on purchase data acquired from MRP software used at a production facility, the order of purchase prices in a predetermined period is calculated, and a predetermined number or a predetermined ratio is high from the top of the calculated rank, and the other is low Price criteria may be used.

  In addition, when price information is included in the BOM data, it may be determined whether the price is low / expensive based on the price information included in the BOM data. More specifically, the unit price of the corresponding electronic component may be calculated from the purchase price of the corresponding electronic component included in the BOM data and the total number of the corresponding electronic components, and the cheap / expensive determination may be made based on the price determination criteria. By setting the price information based on the BOM data, it is not necessary to set the price information for each electronic component, and the workability of the worker can be further improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the tape feeder that requires the splicing work has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to a tape feeder that does not require the splicing work (hereinafter referred to as an auto load feeder). In the case of the auto load feeder, since the seam portion where the carrier tape is joined is not required, operation parameters other than the feed operation setting, carrier tape feed speed setting, carrier tape advance setting of the seam portion joined with the carrier tape are set. Shall be.

  The operation parameter setting support system of the present invention has the effect of reducing the load of data correction of the component library and improving the reliability of the component library. In the component mounting field of mounting electronic components on a board, Useful.
