Abstract

A component mounting system derives work instruction information defining setup changeover work necessary to change an arrangement state of parts feeders from a current arrangement state to a first arrangement state for producing a first substrate type based on current feeder arrangement information corresponding to the current arrangement state and first feeder arrangement information corresponding to the first arrangement state. The work instruction information includes a plurality of pieces of unit work information. Each of the pieces of the unit work information includes kind information indicating a kind of execution operation and feeder state information indicating states before and after execution of work on the parts feeder targeted in the setup changeover work. The pieces of unit work information are displayed on the display screen so as to be arranged in work sequence to be executed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for providing an instruction on setup changeover work executed at changing a type of product in a component mounting system which produces a mounting substrate by mounting an electronic component on a substrate by a component mounting apparatus comprising a component supply unit in which a plurality of parts feeders for supplying components are arranged, and a component mounting mechanism which picks up the electronic component from the component supply unit and conveys and places the electronic component on the substrate,
said method comprising:
storing feeder arrangement data including current arrangement information corresponding to a current arrangement state of the parts feeders currently arranged in the component supply unit and first arrangement information corresponding to a first arrangement state for a first substrate type scheduled to be produced;
deriving, from the stored current arrangement data and the stored first arrangement data, work instruction information which defines setup changeover work necessary to change an arrangement state of the parts feeders in the component supply unit from the current arrangement state to the first arrangement state based on the current feeder arrangement information and the first feeder arrangement information; and
displaying the derived work instruction information on a display screen,
wherein the work instruction information comprises a plurality of pieces of unit work information,
wherein each of the plurality of pieces of unit work information includes kind information and feeder state information,
wherein the kind information indicates a kind of execution operation in the setup changeover work,
wherein the feeder state information indicates states before and after execution of work on the parts feeder targeted in the setup changeover work,
wherein the plurality of pieces of unit work information are displayed on the display screen so as to be arranged in work sequence to be executed,
wherein the component mounting system comprises a feeder identification unit which identifies the parts feeder arranged in the component supply unit, and
wherein if the feeder identification unit detects that a work result of the executed setup changeover work differs from the displayed work instruction information, unit work information necessary to modify the work result to a correct work result based on the work instruction information is newly derived and additionally displayed on the display screen.

2. A method for providing an instruction on setup changeover work executed at changing a type of product in a component mounting system which produces a mounting substrate by mounting an electronic component on a substrate by a component mounting apparatus comprising a component supply unit in which a plurality of parts feeders for supplying components are arranged, and a component mounting mechanism which picks up the electronic component from the component supply unit and conveys and places the electronic component on the substrate,
said method comprising:
deriving work instruction information which defines setup changeover work necessary to change an arrangement state of the parts feeders in the component supply unit from a current arrangement state of the parts feeders currently arranged in the component supply unit to a first arrangement state for a first substrate type scheduled to be produced based on current feeder arrangement information corresponding to the current arrangement state and first feeder arrangement information corresponding to the first arrangement state; and
displaying the derived work instruction information on a display screen,
wherein the work instruction information comprises a plurality of pieces of unit work information,
wherein each of the plurality of pieces of unit work information includes kind information and feeder state information,
wherein the kind information indicates a kind of execution operation in the setup changeover work,
wherein the feeder state information indicates states before and after execution of work on the parts feeder targeted in the setup changeover work,
wherein the plurality of pieces of unit work information are displayed on the display screen so as to be arranged in work sequence to be executed,
wherein the kind information comprises first information indicating execution operation of detaching an already arranged parts feeder in the component supply unit and second information indicating execution operation of newly arranging a parts feeder in the component supply unit, and
wherein the pieces of unit work information are sorted by the kind information so as to be displayed in display sequence in which the unit work information containing the second information is arranged next to the unit work information containing the first information.

3. A component mounting system which produces a mounting substrate by mounting an electronic component on a substrate by a component mounting apparatus comprising a component supply unit in which a plurality of parts feeders for supplying components are arranged, and a component mounting mechanism which picks up the electronic component from the component supply unit and conveys and places the electronic component on the substrate,
said component mounting system comprising:
a storage unit which stores feeder arrangement data including current arrangement information corresponding to a current arrangement state of the parts feeders currently arranged in the component supply unit and first arrangement information corresponding to a first arrangement state for a first substrate type scheduled to be produced;
a work instruction information deriving unit which derives, from the stored current arrangement data and the stored first arrangement data, work instruction information which defines setup changeover work necessary to change an arrangement state of the parts feeders in the component supply unit from the current arrangement state of the parts feeders to the first arrangement state based on the current feeder arrangement information and the first feeder arrangement information; and
an instruction information display unit which displays the derived work instruction information on a display screen,
wherein the work instruction information comprises a plurality of pieces of unit work information,
wherein each of the plurality of pieces of unit work information includes kind information and feeder state information,
wherein the kind information indicates a kind of execution operation in the setup changeover work,
wherein the feeder state information indicates states before and after execution of work on the parts feeder targeted in the setup changeover work,
wherein the plurality of pieces of unit work information are displayed on the display screen so as to be arranged in work sequence to be executed,
wherein the component mounting system comprises a feeder identification unit which identifies the parts feeder arranged in the component supply unit, and
wherein if the feeder identification unit detects that a work result of the executed setup changeover work differs from the displayed work instruction information, work instruction information deriving unit newly derives unit work information necessary to modify the work result to a correct work result based on the work instruction information so as to additionally display the newly derived unit work information on the display screen.

4. A component mounting system which produces a mounting substrate by mounting an electronic component on a substrate by a component mounting apparatus comprising a component supply unit in which a plurality of parts feeders for supplying components are arranged, and a component mounting mechanism which picks up the electronic component from the component supply unit and conv
