1. Scope (1) When a specific bar code is put on the P.C.B., this function makes it pos- sible for the machine to automatically perform the program change during automatic operation according to the results of the bar code reading. As a result, the time for program change and set-up operations can be reduced.

PROGRAM NAME START POINT The valid reading start position can be set as data to be read first from the bar code label. Data Input Range: 1 to 32 BARCODE READING TIMER When the bar code reader scans the bar code label on the P.C.B. which passes over the conveyor beside the input machine, the reading time can be set in this text box.
6.3 Program Change Mode It is occasionally required for the operator to perform a setup operation such as changing the location of the P.C.B. support pins or the feeder allocation (feeder slot Nos. for appropriate components). In this case, the machine can be stopped to check the setup condition of the machine when the automatic program change operation is initiated.

7.5.4 Setting a Range for a Product Name Before the bar code data is read on the machine side, the range (the start col- umn and the subsequent valid number of digits) of the bar code data must be set and can be used as a product name. [Operation] (1) Click "Set"...
7.6 Viewing the Version of the Application Click "Help" on the menu bar. The pull-down menu opens. Select "About..." from the pull-down menu. The "Barcode Program Change System" dialog box opens, enabling you to check the version of the current application. Fig.
8. Precautionary Points about Bar Code Program Change Function Note the following conditions when the bar code program change function is used in the automatic operation. 8.1 Pattern Program Data Set the following parameters to meet the required conditions for the pattern program data.
8.5 MACHINE SET-UP It is recommended that "ENABLE" should be set in the "LIBRARY AUTO DELETE" text box at the "MACHINE CUSTOMIZE" display. (Hierarchical Sequence: "MACHINE SET-UP" Display → "MACHINE CUSTOMIZE" Dis- play) The downtime frequency of the machine for bar code program change opera- tions can be reduced by deleting the component library data which is not used in the machine.
9. Preparation before Operation (Starting Condition for Production) When the machine is powered up or the system is cleared, it is required to re- read the bar codes on the P.C.B.’s which are located on the front conveyor, the input buffer conveyor (machine side), and the input conveyor (machine side). When a P.C.B.
10. Automatic Operation Fig. 10.1 This message is issued only when the function is valid. While the machine is performing the automatic operation, using the bar code program change function, it can be checked how the function is working at the message field (BCR STATUS:) in the "AUTO OPN.
11. Sending or Deleting the Pattern Program Data When the bar code program change function is used and the bar-coded pattern program name read by the BCR does not exist in the memory of the machine, the machine side issues a signal to the personal computer side, requesting the required pattern program data.

12. Troubleshooting When an error occurs in the bar code program change function, the machine is set in the "STOP" mode and the "ERROR" display shown below appears on the screen. In this case, refer to "Table 1" and take the necessary measures before starting the production.

<Entry of Bar Code Data through Virtual Keyboard Navigation> When the bar code reader failed in reading the bar codes on a P.C.B., the ma- chine can start the production with the P.C.B. after the bar code data was en- tered through virtual keyboard navigation.
13. Input Check Only the display different from those for the main body is inserted here. Refer to "3.6.1 Input Check" in the instruction manual (SECTION III MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL) for details. The *-marked item is specially specified. 9710-001 ABW01EGP26...
16. Monitor Function 16.1 Specifications This function makes it possible to scan the bar code on a P.C.B. and send the results to the host computer. The existing hardware system for the bar code program change function can be used as hardware. “DISABLE”, “ENABLE”, or “MONITOR”...
16.3 Restrictions and Precautionary Items Restrictions When a P.C.B. on the conveyor is not proper (unstable scanning) for bar code scanning, a warning message is issued at the “CHECK” display. In this case, the system re-scans the bar codes of the P.C.B.’s on the input and transfer conveyors and the machine starts its production after the scanning.
Page 45
NG (No Good) Results of Bar Code Scanning (2) An error message (regarding the NG results of scanning) is issued and the machine stops running. When the message display is closed, the display for bar code key-in op- eration opens. The proper bar codes (in place of the codes scanned as “NG”) must be keyed in by the operator.
16.5 Menu for Bar Code Key-In Entry As for the P.C.B.’s whose bar codes were not scanned successfully, such bar codes can be keyed in to keep on producing the P.C.B.’s. In the key-in operation, the same data must be keyed in twice to avoid any mistake (prevention of wrong data entry by verifying the entered data).
