The data editing device 24 can be connected via the communication interface 43 to another NC device such as a coating device for applying an adhesive for temporarily fixing the chip component 5 to the printed circuit board 6. Data editing device 24
The data handled in 1) includes NC data used by the electronic component automatic mounting device 23. The NC data is stored in RAM 27, RA
It is stored in the M37 and the heart disk 47. The RAM 27 of the mounting device 23 can store a few numbers, but the heart disk 47 of the data editing device 24 can store a larger number. RAM37 is a heart disk 4
The data is temporarily stored before storing the NC data in 7, and only one NC data is stored.

The NC data is, as shown in FIG. 4, data indicating the position in the XY direction on the substrate 5 on which the component 5 is to be mounted and the angular position at which the component 5 is to be mounted, in the order of step numbers indicating the mounting order of the component 5. This is data in which a reel number indicating the position on the supply table 7 to which the component supply device 8 for supplying the component 5 of the component type to be mounted is attached. The RAM 27 is provided with an area for storing the edit state data shown in FIG. 5, but the program names of the NC data stored in the RAM 27 are stored in the order of program NO, and the NC data is stored in the flag area. When the automatic mounting device 23 has been edited such as correction, "1" is stored, no processing is performed, and the data is received and read from the data editing device 24, that is, the data editing device. If the data is the same as the data stored in, the cleared state "0" is stored. The flag is automatically added when the NC data is edited on the electronic component automatic mounting device 23 side, but may be added by a predetermined operation of the operator. "E" in the "C" column
Indicates that it is the last program stored. The keyboard 42 is provided with a reception key 44 for receiving data from the component mounting device 23 to the data editing device 24 during communication. Alternatively, the reception key 44 may be operated by operating a plurality of keys on the keyboard in a predetermined order. Further, in the RAM 37, a counter 45 for counting the program NO of the edit state data is provided.

The operation will be described below with the above configuration. First, the operator selects the keyboard 42 and CR of the data editing device 24 according to the type of the printed circuit board 6 that produces the NC data used by the electronic component automatic mounting device 23.
The NC data created using T40 is stored in the heart disk 47 via the RAM 37 by a save operation. In this way, a large number of NC data are stored in the heart disk 47.

Next, some of the NC data stored in the heart disk 47 of the editing device 24 by the predetermined operation of the mounting device 23 and the editing device 24 are transferred to the mounting device 23 via the RAM 37 as required for production. Transferred. The transferred NC data is stored in the RAM 27. Next, the mounting operation of the chip component 5 on the substrate 6 is performed using one of the NC data.

That is, if the NC data of FIG. 4 is used, the CPU 25 reads the data for each step number of the NC data in the RAM 27, and since the reel number of step number 1 is 1, the reel The supply table 7 is moved so that the component 5 can be taken out from the component supply device 8 at the position of number 1. Next, the mounting head 15 stopped at the suction station I is lowered by intermittent rotation of the rotary table 13, and the component 5 is vacuum-sucked by the suction nozzle 14 and taken out.

Next, the mounting head 15 reaches the recognition station II by the rotation of the table 13, and the positional deviation of the component 5 with respect to the suction nozzle 14 is recognized.
In the angle correction station III, the head turning device 17 corrects and turns the head 15 to bring it to the angular position to be attached, which is indicated in the NC data. Next, in the mounting station IV, the X-axis motor 4 and the Y-axis motor 2 are rotated to position the XY table 3 in consideration of the recognition result so that the mounting head 15 is mounted. The component 5 is mounted on the substrate 6 by descending.

The components are mounted in this way, and when the last component 5 in the NC data is mounted, the substrate 6 is mounted on the mounting device 2
3 is discharged and conveyed. Next, as a result of inspecting the board 6, when it is found that the mounting position of the component 5 in the XY direction of a certain step number should be shifted, the operator operates the touch panel switch 32 to display the NC data in the CRT 3
The data of the position of the step number in the XY direction can be corrected by reading out on the screen of 0. Alternatively, if it is desired to change the order of mounting, it can be changed in the same manner.

When the NC data is changed in this way, the CPU 25 writes the changed NC data in the RAM 27, and as a result, the data transferred from the data editing device 24 is rewritten. At the same time, CPU2
5 sets the flag of the program name showing the NC data of the edit state data to "1". In this case, it is assumed that "AAA" has been changed and "1" has been set.

When some NC data are corrected in this way, the flag of the program name showing the corrected NC data is set to "1". Next, the operator mounts the mounting device 2
When it is desired to download the NC data edited in step 3 to the data editing device 24 and store it, the two devices are operated so that they can communicate with each other, and the reception key 44 of the data editing device 24 is pressed. When you want to save this, the mounting device 2
There may be a case where it is desired to change the NC data of No. 3 to that of another type of substrate 6.

Next, the CPU 25 reads the editing state data shown in FIG. 5 from the RAM 27 and sends it to the data editing device 24 via the communication interface 33 and the communication interface 43. When the CPU 35 receives this, R
The mounting state data is stored in a predetermined area of the AM 37. Next, the CPU 35 stores "1" in the counter 45 according to the flowchart of FIG. 6, reads the program name and flag of the program NO1 of the edit state data of the value of the counter 45, and stores "1", When it is judged that editing has been performed, a signal is sent to the mounting device 23 side to transfer the NC data of the "AAA", and C
The PU 25 transmits NC data of "AAA". CPU
Reference numeral 35 refers to whether or not the program name "AAA" of this data has been stored up to now. Since it is already stored, overwriting, that is, the content of the NC data is rewritten to that up to now. . That is, after the NC data of "AAA" is once stored in the RAM 37, the NC data of "AAA" up to now on the hard disk 47 is rewritten with new data.

Next, looking at the column of "C" of the current program NO1 of the editing state data, since "E" is not stored, the counter 45 is advanced by 1 to "2", which is edited. Since the content of the program NO2 of the state data is read and this flag is "0", the data transfer request is not issued and therefore the write operation is not performed and the column "C" is confirmed and the counter 45 is incremented by one.

The NC data of the next program NO3 is created on the mounting device 23 side, and the program name "C
When "CC" does not exist in the data editing device 24, the contents of the transferred NC data are stored in the hard disk 47 via the RAM 37 with a new program name "CCC". As described above, when "E" is stored in the "C" column of the last program name, it is determined that there is no NC data anymore, and the reception operation ends.

At this time, the mounting device 23 may be notified that the reception is completed, and the flags of the edit state data in the RAM 27 may be cleared to "0". Alternatively, each time the transfer of each NC data is completed, the corresponding flag may be cleared. Note that such data transmission / reception operations can be applied not only to the NC data of this embodiment, but also to various data created for each type of printed circuit board.

The same operation can be performed not only by the mounting device of this embodiment but also between the coating device and the data editing device 24 as described above.

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention, only the data edited in the NC device among the data stored in the NC device is received or written in the storage unit, so that the data can be surely updated in a short time. It is possible to realize a data editing device that can save saved data or new data.
