SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure to observe
The precautions that shall be observed in order to prevent an injury to the user or the
other persons, and damage to property, are described as follows.
!
The degrees of danger or injury, resulting from incorrect usage owing to failure to read an
indication, are classified and described as follows.
WARNING This indication refers to a situation which is considered that there is a
possibility of death or serious injury.
CAUTION This indication refers to a situation which is considered that there is a
possibility of only injury or physical damage.
!
The matters that shall be observed are classified by the symbols shown below, and
described.
(The following are the examples of the symbols.)
This kind of symbol indicates an action that must not be carried out.
This kind of symbol indicates an action that must be carried out.
NOTICE
This part describes the precautions in using PS200.
As for the personal computer, monitor, etc., observe the precautions described in
each manual.
When operating the machine, see the “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” described in its
manuals.

 Terms used in this manual
The terms used in this manual are used as the following meanings.
This part describes only the terms frequently used.
This manual is intended for those who are familiar with the basic operations of Windows, so it
does not explain computer terms (“folder,” “application,” etc.). For information about those terms,
refer to the commercially available glossary.

Machine
Line
Indicates the production line that actually produces boards. The line on PT indicates the
production line that consists of only the PT-support machines.
Virtual line
While the line is an actual production line, the virtual line is the line that users can set by
themselves. You can simulate the production tact in changing and introducing the line, create the
production data for another plant’s line, and the like.
Module
PT defines that the module is the one composed of the coupled modular placement machines.
You can manage and create data for each module.
Modular machine (Modular-type, Modular-support)
Indicates the machine that can be managed as module after coupled.
Machine
Indicates the production machine body.


Data file
Group (Group folder)
This is a folder used to manage data. To manage data for each production board type, such as a
portable telephone group and an electronic device group, create the group folders.
Lot (Lot folder)
This is a folder used to manage the data for each production board. Lot includes all the data (PT
files) of the machine or module on the production line.
∗The production data of the machine that is not on the line will not be entered.
PT file (PT file name)
Indicates the production data of the machine or module managed by PT.
Production data
Indicates a data used to actually produce boards. This is the data for each machine or module
that composes the line.
(For the contents of the production data, such as the board and the block data, refer to the
“Programming Manual (Editors).”)
CAD data
Indicates the board (mount coordinates) design data created by CAD. PS can convert and import
this data.

Function
Library
This is an in-depth data aggregate prepared beforehand. Users can add and edit the data.
PT has various kinds of libraries, such as for parts, for nozzles, and for feeders; you can input an
in-depth data just by selecting data from the library at the data input screen.
PS refers to the libraries of PT targeted for operation, and carries out various operations.
However, not all the libraries can be edited.
Filer
This is an application used to manage folders and data files. In addition to the PT filer, PS (line
converter) adopts the filer style.
Editor
This is an application used to create the production data.
Line converter
This is a converter used to create the production data from such as CAD data. It has not only the
data conversion function but also the edit (editor) and the simulation function.
Basically, the PS system has only the functions of the line converter.
Regarding CAD data as the data that does not belong to a line, it is capable of converting data
between a line and a virtual line. And also, it is capable of converting data between two or more
lower PT systems.
Import
Means importing data from the external or other tools.
Shows importing the data of CAD or the lower PT, for PS.
Export
Means exporting data to the external or other tools.
Shows exporting text files to the desired directory or registering to the filer of the lower PT, for PS.
