Feeder Station
Chapter 3. Feeder Station
3.1. Overview
Feeder Station, a module of IT Feeder Station, is a Windows program that synchronizes
the Feeder and Reel data while installing the reel created at the Part Station in the Feeder.
This program registers and updates the Feeder and creates the PartReel data of the Feeder
to be installed on the equipment.
Commonly, each station program of the IT Feeder is executed using the Oracle Database.
The basic installation directories and file structures of Feeder Station are as follows. The
user can change the installation directory if desired. For detailed information on
installation method, please refer to “Method of Feeder Station installation in Appendix, IT
Feeder Station”.
Program location
C:\Program Files\SamsungTechWin\ITFeeder\FeederStation
System requirements to run this program are as follows.
CPU: IBM PC compatible Pentium Over 266MHz (Pentium 333MHz or higher
processor is recommended)
OS: Over Microsoft Windows 2000
Memory: Over 128MB (Over 256MB is recommended)
Hard Disk: 2MB hard disk space (need to secure at least 2GB of free hard disk space)
The Feeder Station system consists of the Feeder Station program, DBSync program,
Master Database, Local Database, and WasteReel.bak and Recycle.dat for backup. It
works with external programs in relation to the Part Station and IQ Module of the
equipment.
The data controlled in the Feeder Station is the same as Table 2-1.

Effects of using Feeder Station
For PCB assembly operations, Component Placer needs to register the components to
be mounted on the PCB, decide placement points, and install the respective
components on the feeder base. After the positions of each placement point and
component have been decided and the PCB has been supplied, the data on the
component to mount is obtained from the mounting program. Then the respective
component is picked up from the feeder base and it is placed on the placement point
on the PCB. At this time, the component is inspected by the attached camera while it
is on the move. When the operation is finished, the PCB is transferred to the next
process. As a series of operations requiring substantial amount of time are carried out
by the equipment, the equipment operation rate is lowered.
This program provides various programs that minimize equipment preparation time to
improve equipment operation rate. OLP( Off-Line program) and IT Feeder Station are
examples of this.
Equipment preparation time is minimized by using a device called Docking Cart. It
allows preparation of component placement operation in advance Off-Line.
Feeder Station is a program to mount the PartReel registered in the Part Station in the
Feeder. It creates Feeder data so that it is possible to find out which components are
registered in the feeder mounted on the equipment by synchronizing the Feeder and
Reel.
Each Feeder should contain a unique RF-ID inside and the Reel should be registered
in the Part Station first.
