14.4 Station Controllers
Job Control sends jobs to the station controllers of the required stations.
Each physical station has been assigned a station controller supplying the station with machine data, setup
data and placement data and controlling the processes performed at the stations. The data are transmitted to
the stations by the Data Manager via an IEC bus.
The station controller's user interface provides the operator with the following information:
-
current station data
-
job allocation
-
logged-on PCBs
14.4.1 Tasks
The station controllers are designed to synchronize the user entries at the Job Control with the processes
performed on the stations so that, at the appropriate instant
-
setup changeover is initiated
-
and the placement data are loaded.
14.4.2 Features
Jobs (batches) are allocated to the station controller by a job control.
-
Several jobs can be allocated to a station controller at once.
Active are: without barcode ---> the first lot
with barcode ---> n-lots of the same setup
-
Each station controller is allocated to one physical station.
-
The station controller allows the handling of "high-priority" jobs.

14.4.3 Opening the "Station Controller" User Interface
Every placement station represented in the current line configuration display is provided with an icon labelled
with the "

user interface of the respective station controller to be opened.
●
Click on the area of the desired station containing the "
i
" symbol.
The user interface (main window) of the station controller is opened (see Fig. 14.4.1).
The following information on the selected station is provided in this window:
-
names of Line and Station
-
settings of Barcode and UFO strategies
-
lot name, PCB type, number of pieces (PCBs)
-
PCB identification number
-
setup of station
-
current conveyor width setting
-
listings of lots or PCBs (upon request)
