ホストコンピュータ60は、生産ラインL1-L3の動作状況を監視し、部品装着機2などの対基板作業機の制御を行う。ホストコンピュータ60は、構成機器およびインストールされたソフトウェアにより対基板作業機の管理装置70として機能する。本実施形態において、管理装置70は、部品装着機2の構成装置の一つである制御装置50を対象として、制御装置50に組み込まれたソフトウェアのバージョンを管理する。
管理装置70によるソフトウェアの管理処理について図3-図5を参照して説明する。ここで、管理装置70は、対基板作業機である部品装着機2を構成する制御装置50を管理の対象とする。制御装置50には、装着処理において部品移載装置30の動作を制御するためのソフトウェアが組み込まれている。詳細には、図4の表2-1に示すように、制御装置50の第一起動領域51にはVer2.0のソフトウェアがインストールされ、第二起動領域にはVer4.0のソフトウェアがインストールされている。
上記の対基板作業機(部品装着機2)の管理装置70は、生産処理(装着処理)において部品装着機2の制御装置50が実行したソフトウェア(ファームウェア)の現在バージョンを複数の制御装置50ごとに関連付けたバージョン情報M2を記憶する記憶装置71と、生産処理に適用するソフトウェアのバージョンを生産処理の種別およびバージョン情報M2に基づいて指定するバージョン指定部72と、を備える。
7-1.ソフトウェアの実行について
実施形態において、構成装置である制御装置50が実行するソフトウェアは、制御装置50に組み込まれたファームウェアであるものとした。これに対して、ソフトウェアは、例えば管理装置70の記憶装置71における所定の起動領域に予め記憶されたものであってもよい。そして、制御装置50は、外部装置である管理装置70とネットワークを介して通信し、所定の起動領域に記憶されたソフトウェアを実行する。
実施形態において、バージョン指定部72は、生産計画M1、機能情報M3、および適用情報M4に基づいて、装着処理に適用するソフトウェアのバージョンを指定する構成とした。これに対して、バージョン指定部72は、種々の方法により指定するバージョンを設定してもよい。例えば、バージョン指定部72は、現在バージョンをバージョン情報M2に基づいて認識し、最新のバージョンを指定してもよいし、作業者や管理者により設定されたバージョンを指定してもよい。
実施形態において、管理装置70は、ホストコンピュータ60に組み込まれた構成とした。これに対して、管理装置70は、対基板作業機である部品装着機2の外部装置であれば、ホストコンピュータ60の他に種々の態様を採用し得る。例えば、管理装置70は、基板製品の工場に設置された管理専用の装置であってもよいし、対基板作業機とインターネットを介して通信可能に接続されたサーバであってもよい。何れの構成においても実施形態と同様の効果を奏する。
実施形態において、ソフトウェアが組み込まれた構成装置は、部品装着機2の制御装置50である構成とした。これに対して、構成装置は、部品装着機2を構成するものであれば、制御装置50の他に、例えば基板搬送装置10や装着ヘッド33などであってもよい。さらに、実施形態において、管理装置70は、対基板作業機である部品装着機2を管理の対象とした。これに対して、管理装置70は、部品装着機2以外の対基板作業機(印刷機、検査機、シールド装着装置など)を対象としてもよい。
