Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a component mounting line management device that can determine whether an installation device detachably attached to a component mounting machine is used, when communication between a configuration management device and the component mounting machine is impossible. In the component mounting line management device ( 1 ) according to the present invention, each component mounting machine or each installation device includes an installation device information memory device ( 11 ). The installation device information memory device ( 11 ) stores installation device identification information of the installation device attached at an installation position, and location information on the installation position in correlation with each other. Each component mounting machine includes a communication-abnormal-time installation device determination section ( 12 ). When communication with the configuration management device ( 1 H) is impossible, the communication-abnormal-time installation device determination section ( 12 ) compares installation device identification information of the installation device mounted at the installation position and the location information on the installation position, to installation device identification information of the installation device and location information correlated with the installation device identification information, which are stored in the installation device information memory device ( 11 ), so as to determine whether the installation device is used.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A component mounting line management device, comprising: a component mounting line in which a plurality of component mounting machines are arranged, a component mounting machine of the plurality of component mounting machines mounting a component on a printed circuit board, the component mounting machine including a plurality of installation devices which are feeders detachably attached at an installation position of the component mounting machine; and a configuration management device that is connected to each of the component mounting machines through a communication line, and stores installation device identification information and location information in correlation with each other, the installation device identification information identifying each of the plurality of installation devices and the location information indicating an installation position of the installation device in the component mounting machine, wherein the configuration management device includes a communication-normal-time installation device determination section that receives from the component mounting machine transmission of a transmitted installation device identification information and a transmitted location information when the installation device is attached at the installation position, and that compares the transmitted installation device identification information and the transmitted location information to the installation device identification information and the location information stored in the configuration management device, so as to determine whether the installation device is used for mounting the component on the printed circuit board, wherein each of the component mounting machines includes an installation device information memory device configured to communicate with the configuration management device that also stores the installation device identification information of the installation device attached at the installation position, and the location information on the installation position in correlation with each other, wherein each of the component mounting machines includes a communication-abnormal-time installation device determination section that compares the installation device identification information of the installation device attached at the installation position and the location information on the installation position when communication with the configuration management device is impossible, to installation device identification information of the installation device and location information correlated with the installation device identification information which are stored in the installation device information memory device, so as to determine whether the installation device is used for mounting the component on the printed circuit board. 2. The component mounting line management device according to claim 1 , wherein the installation device information memory device stores the installation device identification information of the installation device attached at the installation position and the location information on the installation position in correlation with each other, for each production job of the component mounting machine, and the communication-abnormal-time installation device determination section determines whether the installation device is used, by using the installation device identification information of the installation device which corresponds to a production job performed when the communication with the configuration management device is impossible and is stored in the installation device information memory device, and the location information correlated with the installation device identification information. 3. The component mounting line management device according to claim 1 , wherein the installation device information memory device stores a use period of the installation device which is usable in production of the printed circuit board, in correlation with the installation device identification information, and the communication-abnormal-time installation device determination section determines that using the installation device the use period of which has elapsed is not allowed.
