PLATFORM BOARD AND PRODUCTION CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A platform board and a production control method in which production processing efficiency is enhanced for a plurality of kinds of product while their costs are reduced by shared use of hardware and its software program for controlling control apparatuses and inspection apparatuses used in the entire processes of a production line. Control, processing of apparatus and measurement of product characteristics in the component mounting process (101) through the characteristics inspection process (104) of a production line are performed on a single kind of platform board (1) arranged in each process. The board (1) comprises an FPGA (11), an A-D converter (12), a D-A converter (13), an interface (14) and a detection interface (15). As many FPGAs (11) through detection interfaces (15) as required for performing control, processing of the apparatus and measurement of product in all processes (101)-(104) are mounted on a substrate (10). Preferably, the boards (1) of respective processes are LAN-interconnected and controlled centrally by means of a host computer.
