Then, in step S103, child data (setup pattern data 311) for confirming the setup state is selected. In the first step S103, the default setup pattern data 311 is selected as the child data (the setup pattern data 311) for confirming the setup state.

Then, in step S104, it is detected whether or not the setup of all parts E is OK. That is, in step S104, it is detected whether or not the parts layout in the current setup state of the plurality of setting units 211 matches the parts layout of the child data (setup pattern data 311) selected in step S103.

Note that the component arrangement in the current setup state of the plurality of setting units 211 is obtained, for example, from the tape feeder 210 set in the setting unit 211 by obtaining the ID (identification information) of the component E associated with the tape feeder 210. can be obtained by

In step S104, when it is detected that the setup of all parts E is OK, the process proceeds to step S105.

Then, in step S105, the child data (setup pattern data 311) is adopted as the setup pattern data 311 used when the board P is produced. After that, the child data selection process is terminated, and the production of the board P is started. In the production of the board P, the mounting operation for the board P is performed based on the mounting order information of the components E in the adopted child data (setup pattern data 311).

Further, if it is detected in step S104 that the setup of all parts E is not OK (the setup of any part E is NG), the process proceeds to step S102. Then, the processing of steps S103 and S104 is performed on the next unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311).

If it is detected in step S102 that there is no unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S106. That is, if there is no child data (setup pattern data 311) that matches the component layout in the current setup state of the set units 211 among the plurality of child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S106.

Then, in step S106, default child data (setup pattern data 311) is employed as temporary setup pattern data 311. FIG.

Then, in step S107, a setup incomplete error is notified to the worker. After that, the child data selection process is terminated, and the carriage 220 is set up again by the operator.

A control unit 207 is provided for controlling selection of predetermined setup pattern data 311 from the setup data 310 at the time of P production. As a result, unlike the case where there is only one set-up pattern data 311 for the production of a predetermined type of board P, and there is no room for selection of the set-up position of the carriage 220 at the time of board P production, a plurality of set-up patterns can be obtained. From the data 311, it is possible to select the setup pattern data 311 to be used when manufacturing a board P of a predetermined type. As a result, the degree of freedom of the set position of the carriage 220 during production of the board P can be increased.

As a result, the type of the board P can be easily recognized from the parent data 312 indicating the type name of the board P, and a plurality of setup patterns for a predetermined type of board P can be stored as child data associated with the parent data 312. Data 311 can be easily recognized.

In the first embodiment, as described above, the control unit 207 searches and selects the setup pattern data 311 matching the current setup state of the plurality of set units 211 from among the plurality of setup pattern data 311. configured to control As a result, even if the operator sets the carriage 220 at an erroneous set position other than the set position determined in the production plan, a set-up pattern corresponding to the erroneously set position is stored in the plurality of set-up pattern data 311. If the data 311 exists, the control unit 207 automatically selects the setup pattern data 311 corresponding to the set position that was set by mistake, and the board P can be manufactured. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operation from being stopped due to incorrect setting of the truck 220 .

Further, with the above configuration, even if a sudden change in the production plan occurs, if the plurality of setup pattern data 311 includes the setup pattern data 311 corresponding to the sudden change in the production plan, 1 automatically selects appropriate setup pattern data 311 by the control unit 207 only by setting the carriage 220 to the set position based on the setup pattern data 311 corresponding to a sudden change in the production plan, thereby producing the substrate P. It can be performed.

Further, in the first embodiment, as described above, the control unit 207 is set in the case where the carriage 220 is set with a setup pattern different from the setup pattern of the default setup pattern data 311 out of the plurality of setup pattern data 311 . , the setup pattern data 311 matching the current setup state of the plurality of set units 211 is searched and selected from among the plurality of setup pattern data 311 . As a result, when the carriage 220 is set in a setup pattern different from the setup pattern of the default setup pattern data 311 (when the worker sets the carriage 220 in the wrong setting position, the set position can be set due to a sudden change in the production plan). When the position is changed, etc.), the control unit 207 can automatically select the setup pattern data 311 other than the default setup pattern data 311 to produce the board P. FIG.

Further, in the first embodiment, as described above, if the setup pattern data 311 matching the current setup states of the plurality of set sections 211 is not found, the controller 207 notifies the operator of the setup incomplete error. Configure the control to notify you.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11. FIG. In this second embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, an example in which a production management device creates a production plan that enables non-stop setup will be described. In the drawings, the same components as in the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

(Configuration of production control device)
A production control device 300a according to the second embodiment differs from the production control device 300 according to the first embodiment in that a control unit 305a is provided as shown in FIG. The production management device 300a is an example of a "control device" in the scope of claims.

Here, as shown in FIG. 9, when the production order is determined for each type of board P, if only the default setup pattern data 311 is selected for each type of board P to create a production plan for the board P, In some cases, non-stop setup, in which setup of the carriage 220 is performed without stopping the operation of the component mounting apparatus 200b, may occur, and stop setup in which the operation of the component mounting apparatus 200b is stopped to perform setup of the carriage 220 may occur. . When the stop setup occurs, it is necessary to stop the operation of the component mounting apparatus 200b, so the operating rate of the component mounting apparatus 200b decreases. In the example shown in FIG. 9, when switching the production of substrates P from type 1 to type 2 and from type 3 to type 4, the set positions of the carriages 220 overlap each other, so it is necessary to perform stop setup. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 9, when switching the production of the board P from the type 2 to the type 3, since the set positions of the carriages 220 do not overlap each other, it is possible to perform non-stop setup.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 305a of the production management device 300a controls the operation of the board P so that the operation stop due to the replacement of the carriage 220 does not occur when switching the type of the board P to be produced. The setup pattern data 311 is selected from a plurality of setup pattern data 311 for each type, and control for creating a production plan for the board P is performed. Specifically, the control unit 305a of the production management device 300a controls the set positions of the carriages 220 so that the set positions of the carriages 220 do not overlap each other when switching the type of the board P to be produced. It is configured to select the setup pattern data 311 from the above and perform control to create a production plan for the board P.

FIG. 10 illustrates an example in which substrates P are produced in order of types 1, 2, 3 and 4. In FIG. In this example, the default setup pattern data 311 is selected from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 1 . Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 2, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the carriage 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the carriage 220 of the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 1 is selected. It is Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 3, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the carriage 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the carriage 220 of the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 2 is selected. It is Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 4, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the carriage 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the carriage 220 in the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 3 is selected. It is As a result, even when switching the production of substrates P from type 1 to type 2, from type 2 to type 3, and from type 3 to type 4, the set positions of the carriages 220 do not overlap each other, so that non-stop operation is possible. It is possible to make arrangements.

(Production planning process)
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, production planning processing by the production management device 300a of the second embodiment will be described based on a flowchart. Each process of the flowchart is performed by the control unit 305a of the production control device 300a.

As shown in FIG. 11, first, in step S201, the type of substrate P is selected. It should be noted that in the first step S201, the type of substrate P that is first in the order of production is selected. Also, in step S201, the parent data 312 of the setup data 310 is selected.

Then, in step S202, it is detected whether or not unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311) exists. If it is detected that unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311) exists, the process proceeds to step S203.

Then, in step S203, child data (setup pattern data 311) is selected. In the first step S203 for each type of board P, the default setup pattern data 311 is selected as the child data (the setup pattern data 311).

Then, in step S204, it is detected whether non-stop setup is possible. That is, in step S204, it is determined whether or not the set positions of the carriages 220 overlap each other when switching between the type of substrate P selected in step S201 and the type of substrate P that is one step ahead of the substrate P in the production order. is detected. When it is detected in step S204 that non-stop setup cannot be performed, the process proceeds to step S202. Then, the processing of steps S203 and S204 is performed on the next unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311). Further, when it is detected in step S204 that non-stop setup is possible, the process proceeds to step S205.

Then, in step S205, the child data (setup pattern data 311) is employed as the setup pattern data 311 used when the board P is produced.

Then, in step S206, non-stop setup is instructed to the operator. In step S206, for example, by displaying an instruction for non-stop setup on the display unit 302 of the production control device 300a, an instruction for non-stop setup is given to the operator. After that, the process proceeds to step S207.

If it is detected in step S202 that there is no unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S208. That is, if there is no child data (setup pattern data 311) capable of non-stop setup among the plurality of child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S208.

Then, in step S208, the default child data (setup pattern data 311) is adopted as the set up pattern data 311 used when the board P is produced.

Then, in step S209, the operator is instructed to make stop arrangements. In step S209, for example, the operator is instructed to set up a stop by displaying a stop set up instruction on the display unit 302 of the production control device 300a. After that, the process proceeds to step S207.

Then, in step S207, it is detected whether or not the next substrate P type exists. In step S207, when it is detected that the next type of substrate P exists, the process proceeds to step S201. Then, the processing of steps S202 to S209 is appropriately performed for the next substrate P type. Moreover, when it is detected in step S207 that there is no type of the next substrate P, the production planning process is terminated.

Other configurations of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

(Effect of Second Embodiment)

In the second embodiment, as described above, the production control device 300a is configured with a plurality of setup pattern data for each type of board P so as not to stop operation due to replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of board P to be produced. The setup pattern data 311 is selected from the data 311, and the control for creating the production plan for the board P is performed. As a result, unlike the case where there is only one set-up pattern data 311 for each type of board P, the set-up pattern data 311 is selected from a plurality of set-up pattern data 311 for each type of board P to perform the production plan for the board P. can be created, it is possible to easily create a production plan for the substrates P that does not stop the operation due to the replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of the substrates P to be produced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operation from being stopped due to the replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of the board P to be produced, so it is possible to increase the operation rate of the component mounting apparatus 200b.

In the drawings, the same components as in the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

(Configuration of production control device)
The production control device 300b according to the third embodiment differs from the production control device 300 according to the first embodiment in that, as shown in FIG. 12, a control unit 305b is provided. In addition, the production control device 300b is an example of a "control device" in the scope of claims.

Here, as shown in FIG. 13, there is a case where the total production time of the board P is shorter when the stop setup is performed than when the non-stop setup is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 13, when switching the production of the board P from the type 1 to the type 2, the total production time of the board P is shorter if the stop setup is performed than if the non-stop setup is performed. selected. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 13, when switching the production of the board P from the type 2 to the type 3, the non-stop setup is shorter than the stop setup because the total production time of the board P is shorter. Stop setup is selected.

Therefore, in the third embodiment, the control unit 305b of the production management device 300b controls the total production time of the board P to be shortened even if the operation is stopped due to the replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of the board P to be produced. , the setup pattern data 311 is selected from among a plurality of setup pattern data 311 for each type of substrate P, and control for creating a production plan for the substrate P is performed. Specifically, when the production time of the board P during stop setup is shorter than the production time of the board P during non-stop setup, the control unit 305b of the production management device 300b sets a plurality of setup patterns for each type of board P. The setup pattern data 311 for the stop setup is selected from the data 311, and control is performed to create a production plan for the board P. FIG. Further, when the production time of the board P during the non-stop setup is shorter than the production time of the board P during the stop setup, the control unit 305b of the production management device 300b selects a plurality of setup pattern data 311 for each type of the board P. It is configured to select the setup pattern data 311 for non-stop setup from among them and perform control to create a production plan for the substrate P. FIG.

(Production planning process)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the production plan creation processing by the production management device 300b of the third embodiment will be described based on the flowchart. Each process of the flowchart is performed by the control unit 305b of the production control device 300b.

As shown in FIG. 14, first, in step S301, the type of substrate P is selected. It should be noted that in the first step S301, the type of substrate P that is first in the order of production is selected. Also, in step S301, the parent data 312 of the setup data 310 is selected.

Then, in step S302, it is detected whether or not unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311) exists. If it is detected that unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311) exists, the process proceeds to step S303.

Then, in step S303, child data (setup pattern data 311) is selected. In the first step S303 for each type of board P, the default setup pattern data 311 is selected as the child data (the setup pattern data 311).

Then, in step S304, a CT (cycle time) estimation result is acquired. Note that CT (cycle time) means the time required to produce (mount) one board P when using the child data (setup pattern data 311) selected in step S303.

Then, in step S305, it is detected whether non-stop setup is possible. If it is detected in step S305 that non-stop setup is possible, the process proceeds to step S307. Further, when it is detected that non-stop setup cannot be performed, the process proceeds to step S306.

Then, in step S306, the estimated setup time for stop setup is added to the CT estimation result.

Then, in step S307, the CT estimation result is temporarily stored in the storage unit 304. FIG. Note that in step S307, if step S306 is not passed (that is, if non-stop setup is performed), the CT estimation result that does not include the expected setup time is temporarily stored in the storage unit 304. FIG. Also, in step S307, when step S306 has been passed (that is, when stop setup is performed), the CT estimation result including the expected setup time is temporarily stored in the storage unit 304. FIG.

Then, the process proceeds to step S302, and the processing of steps S303 to S307 is appropriately performed on the next unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311).

If it is detected in step S302 that there is no unsearched child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S308. That is, when the CT estimation results of all the child data (the setup pattern data 311) are acquired, the process proceeds to step S308.

Then, in step S308, among the plurality of child data (setup pattern data 311), the child data (setup pattern data 311) with the shortest time indicated by the CT estimation result is adopted as the setup pattern data 311 to be used when the board P is produced. be. That is, in step S308, if the time indicated by the CT estimation result of the child data (setup pattern data 311) to be the stop setup is the shortest, then the child data (setup pattern data 311) to be the stop setup is the setup used when the board P is produced. It is employed as pattern data 311 . In step S308, if the time indicated by the CT estimation result of the child data for non-stop setup (setup pattern data 311) is the shortest, the child data for non-stop setup (setup pattern data 311) is It is adopted as the setup pattern data 311 to be used.

Then, in step S309, the operator is instructed to perform stop setup or non-stop setup.

Then, in step S310, it is detected whether or not the next substrate P type exists. In step S310, when it is detected that the next type of substrate P exists, the process proceeds to step S301. Then, the processing of steps S302 to S309 is appropriately performed for the next substrate P type. Further, in step S310, if it is detected that there is no type of the next substrate P, the production planning process is terminated.

Other configurations of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

(Effect of the third embodiment)
The following effects can be obtained in the third embodiment.

In the third embodiment, as described above, the production management device 300b is configured to shorten the total production time of the board P even if the operation is stopped due to the replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of the board P to be produced. The arrangement pattern data 311 is selected from a plurality of arrangement pattern data 311 for each type of board P, and control for creating a production plan for the board P is performed. As a result, it is possible to easily create a production plan for the board P that shortens the total production time of the board P, thereby increasing the productivity of the component mounting apparatus 200b.

Other effects of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[Fourth embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 19. FIG. In this fourth embodiment, unlike the above second embodiment, an example will be described in which the production control apparatus creates a production plan that allows non-stop setup while changing the production order of the types of substrates. In the drawings, the same components as in the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

(Configuration of production control device)
A production control device 300c according to the fourth embodiment differs from the production control device 300 according to the first embodiment in that it includes a control unit 305c as shown in FIG. The production control device 300c is an example of the "control device" in the scope of claims.

Here, as shown in FIG. 16, when the production order is determined for each type of board P, the set positions of the carriages 220 may always overlap each other when the type of board P is switched. In this case, when switching between the types of substrates P in which the set positions of the carriages 220 always overlap each other, stop setup is always required, so non-stop setup cannot be performed. In the example shown in FIG. 16, when switching the production of the board P from the type 1 to the type 2, the set positions of the carriages 220 always overlap each other, so non-stop setup cannot be performed. In the example shown in FIG. 16, when switching the production of boards P from type 2 to type 3 and from type 3 to type 4, the set positions of the carriages 220 may not overlap each other depending on the selection of the setup pattern data 311. Therefore, it is possible to perform non-stop setup.

On the other hand, even when the order of production of the types of substrates P is determined, there are cases where the order of production of the types of substrates P can be changed. In this case, by changing the production order of the type of board P, it may be possible to perform non-stop setup.

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the control unit 305c of the production management device 300c controls the production of the substrates P so as not to stop the operation due to the replacement of the carriage 220 when switching the type of the substrates P to be produced. It is configured to select setup pattern data 311 from a plurality of setup pattern data 311 for each type of board P while changing the production order of the types, and perform control to create a production plan for the board P. . Specifically, if the set positions of the carriages 220 overlap each other when switching the type of the board P to be produced, the control unit 305c of the production management device 300c causes the set positions of the carriages 220 to overlap each other when switching the type of the board P to be produced. Control to select setup pattern data 311 from a plurality of setup pattern data 311 for each type of substrate P to create a production plan for the substrate P while changing the production order of the types of substrates P so as not to overlap. is configured to do

FIG. 17 shows an example in which the production order of the types of the boards P, which was the order of types 1, 2, 3 and 4, is changed to the order of types 1, 3, 2 and 4 to produce the boards P. there is In this example, when substrates P are produced in the order of types 1 and 2 without changing the production order of the types of substrates P, when switching the production of substrates P from type 1 to type 2, the set position of the carriage 220 is always overlap each other, non-stop setup cannot be performed. On the other hand, when changing the production order of the types of boards P to produce boards P in the order of types 1 and 3, when switching the production of boards P from type 1 to type 3, depending on the selection of the setup pattern data 311, Since the set positions of the carriages 220 may not overlap each other, non-stop setup is possible.

In the example shown in FIG. 17, the default setup pattern data 311 is selected from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 1 . Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 3, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the carriage 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the carriage 220 of the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 1 is selected. It is Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 2, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the truck 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the truck 220 of the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 3 is selected. It is Also, from among the four setup pattern data 311 for the board P of type 4, the setup pattern data 311 having the set position of the carriage 220 that does not overlap with the set position of the carriage 220 of the setup pattern data 311 of the board P of type 2 is selected. It is As a result, even when switching the production of substrates P from type 1 to type 3, from type 3 to type 2, and from type 2 to type 4, the set positions of the carriages 220 do not overlap each other, so that non-stop operation is possible. It is possible to make arrangements.

(Production planning process)
Next, referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, production planning processing by the production management device 300c of the fourth embodiment will be described based on a flow chart. Each process of the flowchart is performed by the control unit 305c of the production control device 300c.

As shown in FIG. 18, first, in step S401, the type of substrate P is selected. It should be noted that in the first step S401, the type of substrate P that is first in the order of production is selected. Also, in step S401, the parent data 312 of the setup data 310 is selected.

Then, in step S402, it is detected whether or not there is a skipped board P type. Note that skipping the type of substrate P will be described later. If it is detected in step S402 that there is a skipped board P type, the process proceeds to step S405. If it is detected in step S402 that there is no type of board P that has been skipped, the process proceeds to step S403.

Then, in step S403, it is detected whether or not the type of the skipped board P is the same type as the previous time. In step S403, when it is detected that the skipped board P type is the same type as the previous time, the process proceeds to step S405. Further, when it is detected in step S403 that the type of the skipped substrate P is not the same type as the previous time, the process proceeds to step S404.

Then, in step S404, the selected type of board P is replaced with the type of board P skipped first. That is, in step S404, the type of board P skipped first is selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S405.

That is, if there is no child data (setup pattern data 311) capable of non-stop setup among the plurality of child data (setup pattern data 311), the process proceeds to step S410.

Then, in step S410, it is detected whether or not the production order of the types of substrates P can be changed. In step S410, for example, it is detected whether or not the production order of the types of substrates P can be changed based on information on whether or not the production order of the types of substrates P can be changed, which has been input in advance by the operator (user). be. In step S410, when the type of board P whose production order is last is detected, and when only the type of board P that has been skipped remains, the production order of the type of board P is changed. Not modifiable is detected.

If it is detected in step S410 that the production order of the type of board P cannot be changed, the process proceeds to step S411.

Then, in step S411, the default child data (setup pattern data 311) is adopted as the set up pattern data 311 used when the substrate P is produced.

Then, in step S412, the operator is instructed to make stop arrangements. After that, the process proceeds to step S414.

Also, in step S410, if it is detected that the production order of the type of board P can be changed, the process proceeds to step S413.

Then, in step S413, the type of substrate P is skipped.

Then, in step S414, it is detected whether or not the next substrate P type exists. In step S414, when it is detected that the next type of substrate P exists, the process proceeds to step S401. Then, the processing of steps S402 to S413 is appropriately performed for the next substrate P type. Further, when it is detected in step S414 that there is no type of the next substrate P, the production planning process is ended.
