Apparatus for mounting electronic parts

Abstract

An apparatus for mounting electronic parts enhancing the versatility in the operation for mounting electronic parts and facilitating the operation and maintenance. The apparatus for mounting electronic parts includes four electronic parts-mounting units, means for conveying a mounting board, and a communications system for communication among the mounting units. Each mounting unit includes a communication portion for inputting/outputting data to and from the communications system, a selection filter for selectively obtaining sequence data related to the preset machine logic number from the input sequence data, and an operation control unit for controlling the operation for mounting electronic parts based on the obtained sequence data. The mounting unit works as a parent unit to receive a systematic control function of the whole apparatus, and the mounting units work as child units. The mounting unit working as the parent unit includes a data base storing a plurality of data sequences, and a sequence compiler incorporating a link control soft program for controlling the electronic parts-mounting units that work as child units.
