Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system and method for notifying a receiving terminal owned by an operator of various events occurring in a mounting machine for mounting components on a circuit board, and a receiving terminal for notifying a received message. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, mounting machines that mount components on circuit boards have been able to operate equipment for 24 hours and 365 days for a long period of time, and also reduce the time required to stop due to out of parts or equipment trouble, improving the operating rate. Efforts have been made.
[0003]
The following can be proposed as a message notification system.
In other words, for various events that occur in equipment such as mounting machines, by dynamically changing the order of transmission from the calling machine as necessary while taking into account risk and urgency information about the detected information By providing a system to notify the information that the operator really needs in order, or by introducing the concept of the call mode, the information of one facility can be sent to the operator who needs it by the group or batch call. It is conceivable to provide a system that can transmit in real time (no time delay).
[0004]
A message notification system for equipment such as a mounting machine will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 9 is a front view showing a receiving terminal (pager) of this message notification system. As shown in FIG. 9, the receiving terminal 1 includes a message display area 2 for displaying transmitted information in characters, a message rollup key 3 and a rolldown key 4 for viewing a history of messages received in the past, A risk level display area 8 is provided for indicating the risk level (importance level) of the transmitted information using a red display unit 5, a yellow display unit 6, and a blue display unit 7.
[0005]
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the configuration of the message calling system. As shown in FIG. 10, the caller system includes a caller 9 including a detection unit 9 a that detects information from equipment 10 such as a mounter and a transmission unit 9 b that transmits information to the receiving terminal 1. Is provided.
[0006]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the message notification system, and describes the procedure from when an event occurs in the facility 10 until the receiving terminal 1 receives the message.
[0007]
That is, when an event occurrence in the facility 10 is detected by the detection unit 9a of the calling machine 9 in step # 1, a pre-registered message is determined based on the occurrence event in step # 2, and then this message is Transmission is performed from the transmitter 9b (step # 3). The receiving terminal 1 receives this message (step # 4), sounds a buzzer, generates a vibration and notifies the operator (step # 5), and displays the message (step # 6).
[0008]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of another message calling system. As shown in FIG. 12, the system on the message calling side includes a caller 9 that transmits information and a detection circuit 13 that detects information from a plurality of facilities 10, 11, and 12. Has a queue (FIFO: First-In-First-Out method: first-in first-out method) for storing information to be transmitted from a plurality of facilities 10, 11, 12.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 13, in this message calling system, information of queues for storing information to be transmitted from a plurality of facilities 10, 11, 12 is stored in the detection circuit 13 as urgency levels A, B, Rearrange dynamically by C. The calling machine 9 transmits in the order of, for example, (Kasai Hassei), (Trouble Hassey), and (Buhingile Hassei), in order of increasing urgency. For transmission, according to the mode instruction, information is transmitted to all operators at the same time for (Kasai Hassei) messages, and information is simultaneously transmitted to all operators belonging to Group 1 for (trouble hassay). , (Buhingile Hassei), information is transmitted to the operator of No. 100.
[0010]
The outline of the operation will be explained. First, for information such as equipment troubles occurring in the equipments 10, 11, and 12, the information is first detected by the detection circuit 13, and stored in the queue in the order in which the information is generated. Then, after the queue information is dynamically rearranged according to the urgency levels A, B, and C, the information is transmitted to all operators set in advance for each facility.
[0011]
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining transmission information to the receiving terminal 1. The methods are roughly divided into two methods (1) and (2). For method (1), the message data of FIG. 12 is transmitted in the order according to the degree of urgency. For method (2), after the queue information in which transmission information is stored is rearranged dynamically according to the urgency levels A, B, and C, the information stored in those queues is converted into one information. It is processed and transmitted from the calling machine 9 at a time.
[0012]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above configuration has the following problems.
Although the caller 9 has a concept of a call mode, the caller 9 side specifies which receiving terminal 1 the information is sent to and cannot select the received information. Then, the setting in the calling machine 9 must be changed.
[0013]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem. In a receiving terminal owned by an operator, the operator can select information according to the situation, and a message notification system that can intuitively understand the contents of the event, It is an object of the present invention to provide a message notification method and a message receiving terminal.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the message notification system of the present invention includes a detection unit that detects an event that has occurred in a facility,
A transmission unit that wirelessly transmits information detected by the detection unit;
A reception terminal owned by an operator of the facility and receiving and displaying information from the transmission unit wirelessly; and
In the receiving terminal, by selecting a logical expression including a logical sum or logical product of ID numbers of facilities or transmitting units, information to be received is selected from information transmitted from a plurality or a single transmitting unit. Selection means are provided.
[0015]
With the above configuration, the receiving terminal owned by the operator is provided with a selection means for selecting the equipment, the transmission unit, or the content of the received information. For example, the selection unit includes a plurality of transmission units or a plurality of transmission units transmitted from a single transmission unit. By making it possible to set which information to receive in the logical expression of the ID number such as the terminal number of the transmission unit and the equipment number such as the mounting machine, the transmission unit or equipment or Information can be obtained by selecting the content of the received information.
[0016]
