BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to mounting data for operating a component mounting apparatus for mounting or inserting a component such as an electronic component on a circuit board, or whether the mounted electronic component is mounted at a predetermined position. Print inspection device that inspects the mounting inspection data for operating the mounting inspection device, or the printed state of solder printed on the surface of a circuit board or the soldering state of mounted components. The present invention relates to an apparatus that creates print inspection data for performing the above.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when creating mounting data for operating a component mounting apparatus, as shown in FIG. 8, basic data such as the name, position, and attitude of each component to be mounted is selected and stored in each data. While referring to the instruction code table in which the corresponding machine data is tabulated, the instruction code for each mounted component is sequentially determined and manually input.

In addition, in the case of the mounting inspection device, in addition to this, the allowable value at the time of inspection is taken into consideration, and in the case of the print inspection device, the name, position, and orientation of each area to be printed (hereinafter referred to as land). Considering the basic data on land and the allowable value at the time of inspection, the instruction code was sequentially determined and manually input.

On the other hand, for example, "mounting data creating device" (Japanese Patent Application No. 2-12952), "mounting inspection data creating device" (Japanese Patent Application No. 3-193859), printing inspection data creating device "(Japanese Patent Application No. In Japanese Patent Application No. 3-139858), a method for preparing various component databases and equipment databases, reading necessary data from each database based on the above basic data, and automatically creating mounting data has already been proposed.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional data creating apparatus, the manual work requires a large amount of work to create the data, so that the burden on the operator is large and the skilled work is difficult. However, there is a problem in that the cost is high because the user is required, and there is a problem in that a lot of time and labor is required for the debugging process for an input error.

Therefore, a method of automatically creating the data has been considered. However, in normal electronic component mounting, since the component to be mounted is determined by emphasizing the component performance, there may be a plurality of types of mountable components at a certain location. At this time, there is a case where a group of a plurality of mountable components is named, for example, a design product number, and mounting is designed using this design product number. On the other hand, a name "part name" is given to indicate the actual type of each part. In addition, parts with different conditions such as shape and color may be registered as the same design part number.

In such a case, it is possible to determine which component group is to be mounted based on the design part number when the mounting data is created, but which component is to be used is determined at the stage of operating the mounting device, etc. During operation, it is often replaced with a component having another component name in the same component group.

In the above-mentioned method for automatically creating mounting data,
There is no specific consideration for such a case, and there is a problem that it is very inconvenient if data is to be recreated from the beginning when parts are replaced during operation.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting data creating device which creates mounting data that can deal with designation of a plurality of types of parts by design part numbers.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a mounting data creating device having a function of creating such data at low cost by sharing necessary information in creating data of the mounting inspecting device and the printing inspecting device.
