Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable input operation to be simplified, preventing erroneous operations, and enable function configuration elements to be simplified and measurement efficiency to be improved by providing a function for transmitting measurement control information and judgment result between an upper-level computer (CO) and a processing control device. CONSTITUTION:When a keyword KW of an element to be measured is entered from an input device of a processing control device 1 and a communication function 5 is operated for transmitting to CO9, the CO9 reads measurement standard information of a registered element from a storage medium 10 and transmits it to a central processing function 2 through the function 5. The function 2 compares it with an auxiliary memory and repeats KW input of the element again. On the other hand, when a mechanism control function 3 which operates asynchronously with the function 2 detects completion of measurement of the element to be measured and notifies it to the function 2 and a measurement control function 4, the function 4 transmits the measurement result to the function 2. The function 3 judges the measurement result when the measurement completion signal, measurement result, and measurement standard information of each element are available together, adds KW of element, and transmits it to the CO9 through the function 5. The CO9 classifies information, memorizes it 10, and then outputs the judgement result as needed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic component measuring system, and more particularly to an electronic component measuring system that exchanges information with a host computer.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a system for measuring the capacitance of an element such as a tantalum solid electrolytic capacitor, for example, has a configuration in which a processing control device and a computer having a storage medium are manually coupled offline.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a measurement system for explaining an example of such a conventional measurement system.

As shown in FIG. 2, this measurement system includes a measurement control unit 7 that switches the terminals of the measurement unit 8 connected to the device under test, a measurement control function 4 that controls the measurement order, and a measurement control function 7 that instructs the measurement results. It is composed of a processing control device 1 having a central processing function 2 for totalizing the data, and a host computer 9 having a storage medium 10 for storing measurement standard information and measurement results, an input device 11, and an output device 12.

The operator inputs keywords for each device to be measured from the input device 11 of the host computer 9 to the output device 1.
After outputting measurement standard information to 2, the capacitance of the device under test is measured by setting judgment information in the processing control device 1 based on that information, and the obtained measurement results are input to the host computer 9. The information was input again from device 11.

Further, the central processing function 2 and the measurement control function of the processing control device 1 do not function independently of each other, and when one function is in operation, the other function is inactive.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

In this conventional measurement system, the operator sets the conditions of the processing control device based on the measurement standard information output from the host computer's output device, or directly inputs the obtained measurement result information from the host computer's input device. Because of the manual operation, there are disadvantages in that setting and input operations are cumbersome and element failure is determined due to erroneous setting operations.

Furthermore, since the central processing function and the measurement control function of the processing control device are not independent, there are problems in that the configuration of each function becomes complicated, requiring a great deal of effort to maintain and manage, and that measurement efficiency decreases.

The purpose of the present invention is to simplify such input operations, eliminate erroneous investigations, simplify the functional components by increasing the independence of each function and facilitate maintenance, and furthermore, perform measurement by multiplexing each function. The objective is to provide a measurement system with improved efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The electronic component measuring system of the present invention includes a mechanism control function for controlling the mechanical operation of a measuring device, a measurement control function for controlling the measurement order of the object to be measured, a communication function for transmitting data, and the mechanism control function. A processing control device having a central processing function that controls a measurement control function and a communication function, a mechanism section that moves the object to be measured according to instructions from the mechanism section control function, and a mechanism section that moves the measurement terminal of the object to be measured according to instructions from the measurement control function. A measurement control unit for switching, a host computer logically connected to the determination unit and the communication function and having a storage medium, and transmitting measurement control information stored on the storage medium of the host computer to the processing control device. transmission function,
It is equipped with a determination function for determining a measurement result based on measurement control information and a storage function for transmitting the determination result to the host computer and storing it in a storage medium, and includes a mechanism control function of the processing control device, and a measurement control function 1 communication. The central processing function and the central processing function each operate independently.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a measurement system for explaining one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic component measuring system of this embodiment includes a processing control device 1 including a central processing function 2, a mechanism control function 3, a measurement control function 4, and a communication function 5, and an object to be measured (not shown). (omitted)> is comprised of a mechanism section 6 for carrying in and out of the measurement section 8, a measurement control section for switching the measurement terminals of a plurality of objects to be measured set in the measurement section 8, and a host computer 9 having a storage medium 10. First, the operator starts the mechanism control function and the measurement control function from the input device (not shown) of the processing control device 1 to start measurement.

Next, a keyword of the element to be measured is inputted from the input device of the processing control device 1, the communication function 5 is operated, and the keyword is transmitted to the host computer 9.

The host computer 9 reads the measurement standard information of the device registered in advance from the storage medium 10 based on the received keyword and transmits it to the communication function 5 of the processing control device 1. The communication function 5 passes the received measurement standard information to the central processing function 2 and enters a standby state.

The central processing function 2 stores the received measurement standard information in auxiliary memory (
(not shown), the operation of inputting the keyword of the element again is repeated.

On the other hand, the mechanism control function 3, which has been operating asynchronously with the central processing function 2, issues a measurement completion signal to the central processing function 2 and the measurement control function 4 when it detects the end of the non-measuring element.

The measurement control function 4, which has received the measurement completion notification, hands over the measurement results to the central processing function 1 and enters a standby state.

The central processing function 2 judges the measurement results when the measurement completion signal from the mechanism control function 3, the measurement results from the measurement control function 4, and the measurement standard information of each element are all collected, and determines the keyword of the element. After adding the measurement result information to the measurement result information, the communication function 5 is activated and the information is transmitted to the host computer 9.

When the host computer 9 receives the measurement result information, it classifies the information based on the keyword of the element, stores it in the storage medium 10, and outputs the determination result information to an output device (not shown) if necessary.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention automatically retrieves measurement standard information from a host computer by inputting a keyword of an element from a processing control device, compares it with asynchronously measured measurement results, and determines the measurement standard information. Since the result information can be automatically registered in the storage medium of the host computer, the following effects can be achieved.

(1) The complicated setting of measurement standard information and the input of measurement result information are reduced, making it easier to use.

(2) Yield is improved because defects in component parts due to post-setting of measurement standards are eliminated.

(3) Since each function of the processing control device operates multiplexed, measurement efficiency is improved.
