Device for transmitting optical data

Abstract

There is provided a device for transmitting optical data installed in an automated guided vehicle and a plurality of manufacturing machines which are arranged on a manufacturing line so as to transmit data necessary for delivery of a transfer object by two-way communication within a transportation system. The transportation system has an interlocking mechanism for suspending an operation when a trouble occurs and transports the transfer object to the plurality of manufacturing machines by the automated guided vehicle. The device includes a non-volatile memory for recording and holding a communication log, and communication log recording means for writing a communication log in said non-volatile memory and outputting recorded contents of the communication log to an external device when there is an inquiry from the external device. Thereby the cause of the trouble can be promptly investigated
