13.18 Production Instruction from an External System
The function described in this Section can be used only when the External Output Function license
is valid.
This is a function for reading or downloading a program without operating the Program
Downloader by an operator just when the upper system transmits a production instruction
command to the External Output Function.
This Instruction Manual describes the settings of the Program Downloader only. Refer to the
Instruction Manual of the External Output Function for commands to be sent/received to/from an
upper system and the settings of the External Output Function.
13.18.1 Preparations for using the function
Select the menu command [Switching operation mode] on the “Production” menu invoked from the
menu bar. (When any of production lines is producing a PWB, this [Switching operation mode]
menu command is disabled, and you cannot select it.)
Figure 13.18-1 [Switching operation mode] menu command
When the dialog box for changing the operation mode appears on the screen, select the Program
Downloader operation mode.

Description
Operator Controlled Production
In this mode, an operator is supposed to operate the Program
Downloader menu to produce PWBs.
* This mode is selected by default.
External System Directed Production
In this mode, the system produces PWBs by following a command
received from an external system.
When you click the <OK> button, the dialog box for confirming change of the operation mode
appears on the screen. When you click the <Cancel> button, the system closes this dialog box
without switching the operation mode.

Directed Production,” loading of a reservation file is canceled in the production line that has loaded
the reservation file.
When you switch the operation mode from “Operator Controlled Production” to “External System
Directed Production,” the following dialog box for confirming change of the operation mode
appears on the screen.

Production.” When you click the <Cancel> button, the system does not switch the operation
mode.
13.18.1.2 To switch the operation mode from “External System Directed Production” to
“Operator Controlled Production”
When you switch the operation mode from “External System Directed Production” to “Operator
Controlled Production,” the following dialog box for confirming change of the operation mode

13.18.2 Precautions
13.18.2.1 Usable files
Only a production program (.iss file) is supported with production conducted according to an
instruction from an external system. Any reservation file cannot be used.
13.18.2.2 Menu items
When you switch the operation mode to “External System Directed Production,” the menu items
described in the table below are deactivated, and you cannot use any of them.

13.18.2.3 Data check processing during downloading
When you enable the functions “Check unit conditions” and “Check production program,” the
system decides that downloading failed if an error occurs or a warning is issued as a result of the
check of a production program to be downloaded.
When you enable the function “Check production program at destination,” the system forcibly
downloads a production program even though it has loaded any program already.
13.18.2.4 Forced termination of production
Although the function for terminating production forcibly (see Section 13.9.5) can be used even
when the operation mode is set to “External System Directed Production,” the check box
“Download next production program reserved.” is disabled.
13.18.2.5 If an error occurs during downloading/uploading
If an error occurs during uploading or during automatic downloading of the next program, the error
dialog box continues to be displayed in the same manner as in “Operator Controlled Production”
mode. In this case, operate the Program Downloader to close the error dialog box, and then
forcibly terminate production (see Section 13.9.5) or download/upload a program with each
machine individually (see Section 13.9.6) so that a program can be downloaded/uploaded again.
Note that the download dialog box is automatically closed if an error occurs while the download
request from an external system is being processed.
