Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to a dual-lane component mounting apparatus including a first lane and a second lane as lanes for transporting substrates. 【Background Art】 【0002】 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a dual-lane component mounting apparatus. In the dual-lane component mounting apparatus, components are mounted on each substrate transported to the mutually independent first lane and second lane, thereby producing component-mounted substrates. The component mounting apparatus includes operation switches operated by an operator in the first production corresponding to the first lane and the second production corresponding to the second lane. The component mounting apparatus of Patent Document 1 includes, as operation switches, a stop switch for stopping production, a model changeover switch for performing a setup changeover operation accompanying substrate type changeover, a work operation switch for executing work related to model changeover, and a lane identification switch for identifying a lane to be the target of operation input. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-129449 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 In the component mounting apparatus of Patent Document 1, the operator identifies the lane to be the operation target by operating the lane identification switch, stops the production of the identified lane by operating the stop switch, and then operates the model changeover switch. Thereby, the work operation switch becomes operable. 【0005】 For example, consider a scenario where the production status of lane 1 is in the "production in progress" state, while the production status of lane 2 has reached the "production terminated" state. In this case, it is necessary to maintain the production status of lane 1 while performing a machine changeover-related operation on lane 2, which has reached the "production terminated" state, by operating the work operation switch. Although it is clear that the lane to be operated by the work operation switch should be lane 2, depending on the production status of lane 1 and lane 2, even in such a case, the operator needs to operate the lane identification switch to specify lane 2 as the target lane. Furthermore, there is a risk that lane 1, which is in the "production in progress" state, may be identified as the target lane for the work operation switch due to an incorrect operation of the lane identification switch. 【0006】 The object of the present invention is to provide a component mounting apparatus that can accurately select the lane to be operated by the production operation switch for performing production operations on the first lane and the second lane, and can improve the operational efficiency of the production operation switch. [Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 A component mounting apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a first lane and a second lane arranged parallel to each other for transporting substrates; a head unit that performs component mounting operations for mounting components on substrates transported in the first lane and the second lane, respectively; a production operation switch for performing operations related to a first production associated with the component mounting operation of the head unit on substrates transported in the first lane and a second production associated with the component mounting operation of the head unit on substrates transported in the second lane; and a control unit that performs operation management processing to manage operations performed via the production operation switch. In the operation management processing, the control unit selects an operation target lane from the first lane and the second lane that is the target of operation of the production operation switch, according to a plurality of production states for each of the first production and the second production. 【0008】 According to this component mounting device, the control unit automatically selects the target lane for operation of the production control switch from the first lane and the second lane, according to the production status of each lane. This ensures that the target lane for operation of the production control switch is accurately selected according to the production status of each lane. Furthermore, since the control unit automatically selects the target lane for operation of the production control switch, it is possible to omit the operator's operation of the switch to identify the target lane. This makes it possible to improve the operational efficiency of the production control switch. 【0009】 The above-described component mounting apparatus may further include a storage unit that stores in advance operation target data, which associates the operation target lane with each of the multiple production states. In this case, the control unit selects the operation target lane according to each of the multiple production states based on the operation target data stored in the storage unit. 【0010】 In this embodiment, the control unit can automatically select the lane to be operated on by the production operation switch according to the production status of the first lane and the second lane, based on the operation target data stored in the memory unit beforehand. This makes the operation of the production operation switch by the operator more efficient and also suppresses operator errors. 【0011】 In the component mounting apparatus described above, the storage unit may store the data to be operated on in a rewritable manner. 【0012】 In this embodiment, the target data referenced by the control unit when selecting the target lane can be rewritten, for example, by an input operation via an input operation unit by an operator. The rewritten target data is stored in the storage unit. 【0013】 The above-described component mounting apparatus may further include an input operation unit that receives an input operation for a switching command that commands the switching of the target lane. When the control unit receives the switching command via the input operation unit, it switches the target lane in accordance with the switching command. 【0014】 In this embodiment, the operator can switch the target lane by inputting a switching command to the input operation unit. 【0015】 The above-described component mounting device may further include a display unit for displaying various types of information. In this case, the control unit causes the display unit to display lane selection status information indicating the status of the selection of the target lane. 【0016】 In this embodiment, lane selection status information indicating the status of the lane to be operated on is displayed on the display unit. Based on the lane selection status information displayed on the display unit, the operator can recognize which of the first and second lanes has been selected as the lane to be operated on. 【0017】 The component mounting apparatus described above may further include a request operation switch for performing an operation that requests the activation of the production operation switch. In this case, when the request operation switch is operated, the control unit selects the operation target lane according to each of the plurality of production states. 【0018】 In this embodiment, the control unit can automatically select the target lane for operation according to the production status of the first lane and the second lane, triggered by the operation of the request operation switch. 【0019】 In the component mounting apparatus described above, the plurality of production states may include a production in progress state indicating that production is ongoing and a production stopped state indicating that production is stopped. The control unit selects the target lane in response to the operation of the request operation switch when both the first production and the second production are in the production in progress state. The control unit also selects both the first lane and the second lane as the target lanes in response to the operation of the request operation switch when both the first production and the second production are in the production stopped state. Furthermore, the control unit selects the lane in the production stopped state as the target lane in response to the operation of the request operation switch when one of the first production and the other is in the production in progress state. 【0020】 In this embodiment, if both the first and second lanes are in a production state, the control unit selects the target lane in response to the operation of the request operation switch. As a result, when both the first and second lanes are in a production state, the production operation switch can be operated on the target lane selected in response to the operation of the request operation switch. 【0021】 On the other hand, if both the first and second lanes are in a production-stopped state, the control unit selects both the first and second lanes as the lanes to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on both the first and second lanes, which are in a production-stopped state. 【0022】 Furthermore, if one of the first and second lanes is in production mode and the other is in production stop mode, the control unit selects the production stop lane as the target lane in response to the operation of the request operation switch. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on the production stop lane. 【0023】 In the above component mounting device, the plurality of production states may include a production preparation completion state indicating that the production preparation is completed. When both the first production and the second production are in the production preparation completion state, the control unit selects both the first lane and the second lane as the operation target lanes. Also, when one of the first production and the second production is in the production preparation completion state, the control unit selects the lane in the production preparation completion state as the operation target lane according to the operation of the required operation switch. 【0024】 In this aspect, when both the first lane and the second lane are in the production preparation completion state where the production preparation is completed, the control unit selects both the first lane and the second lane as the operation target lanes. Thereby, it becomes possible to operate the production operation switch for both the first lane and the second lane in the production preparation completion state. 【0025】 Also, when one of the first lane and the second lane is in the production preparation completion state, the control unit selects the lane in the production preparation completion state as the operation target lane according to the operation of the required operation switch. Thereby, it becomes possible to operate the production operation switch for the lane in the production preparation completion state. 【0026】 In the above component mounting device, the plurality of production states may include an error occurrence state indicating that a production error has occurred. When at least one of the first production and the second production is in the error occurrence state, the control unit selects the operation target lane according to the error occurrence state. 【0027】 In this aspect, the control unit can automatically select the operation target lane triggered by the occurrence of a production error. 【0028】 In the component mounting apparatus described above, if both the first production and the second production enter the error state, the control unit selects both the first lane and the second lane as the target lanes for operation. Furthermore, if one of the first production or the second production enters the error state and the other production is continuing, the control unit selects the lane corresponding to the production that entered the error state from the first lane and the second lane as the target lane for operation. 【0029】 In this embodiment, if both the first and second lanes enter an error state due to a production error, the control unit selects both the first and second lanes as target lanes for operation. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on both the first and second lanes that are in the error state. 【0030】 Furthermore, if one of the first or second lanes is in an error state while the other is in a production state, the control unit selects the lane with the error state as the target lane for operation. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on the lane with the error state. 【0031】 In the component mounting apparatus described above, the plurality of production states may include a production completion state indicating that production has ended. The control unit selects the target lane according to the production completion state when at least one of the first production and the second production reaches the production completion state. 【0032】 In this embodiment, the control unit can automatically select the target lane for operation when production is completed, triggered by the end of production. 【0033】 In the component mounting apparatus described above, the control unit selects both the first lane and the second lane as the target lanes for operation when both the first production and the second production have reached the production completion state. Furthermore, if one of the first production and the second production has reached the production completion state and the other production is in a production-in-progress state, the control unit selects the lane corresponding to the production that has reached the production completion state from among the first lane and the second lane as the target lanes for operation. 【0034】 In this embodiment, when both the first and second lanes have reached a production termination state, the control unit selects both the first and second lanes as target lanes for operation. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on both the first and second lanes, which are in a production termination state. 【0035】 Furthermore, if one of the first and second lanes is in a production-completed state and the other is in a production-in-progress state, the control unit selects the lane in the production-completed state as the target lane for operation. This makes it possible to operate the production operation switch on the lane in the production-completed state. [Effects of the Invention] 【0036】 As described above, the present invention provides a component mounting apparatus that can accurately select the lane to be operated by the production operation switch for performing production operations on the first lane and the second lane, and can improve the operational efficiency of the production operation switch.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0038】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The directional relationships will be explained using mutually orthogonal XY coordinates on the horizontal plane. 【0039】 [Overall configuration of the component mounting equipment] The component mounting apparatus 1 shown in Figure 1 is a device that produces component-mounted boards on which components are mounted on a substrate P such as a printed circuit board. It is a dual-lane component mounting apparatus equipped with a first lane L1 and a second lane L2 as lanes on which the substrate P is transported. The component mounting apparatus 1 comprises a main body 2 on which various operations related to the production of component-mounted boards are performed. The main body 2 comprises a main frame 20 made of a metal structure, a first transport conveyor 21 and a second transport conveyor 22, a first component supply unit 24A and a second component supply unit 24B, a first head unit 26A and a second head unit 26B, and a first operation panel 5 and a second operation panel 6. 【0040】 The first conveyor belt 21 is positioned on the Y1 side of the center of the main frame 20 in the Y direction and extends in the X direction, forming a first conveying section that creates a first lane L1 on which the substrate P is transported. The second conveyor belt 22 is positioned on the Y2 side of the center of the main frame 20 in the Y direction and extends in the X direction parallel to the first conveyor belt 21, forming a second conveying section that creates a second lane L2 on which the substrate P is transported. The first lane L1 formed by the first conveyor belt 21 and the second lane L2 formed by the second conveyor belt 22 are positioned parallel to each other. The substrate P is transported from outside the device on the X1 side to a predetermined work position by the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22, and after component mounting processing is performed, it is transported from the work position to outside the device on the X2 side. 【0041】 More specifically, the first conveyor belt 21 is equipped with an upstream conveyor belt 21A and a downstream conveyor belt 21B, and similarly, the second conveyor belt 22 is equipped with an upstream conveyor belt 22A and a downstream conveyor belt 22B. The substrate P is transported from outside the device to the upstream work position W1 by the upstream conveyors 21A and 22A, and after component mounting is performed at the work position W1, it is transferred from the upstream conveyors 21A and 22A to the downstream conveyors 21B and 22B. The substrate P is then transported to the downstream work position W2 by the downstream conveyors 21B and 22B, and after component mounting is performed at the work position W2, it is transported from the work position W2 to outside the device by the downstream conveyors 21B and 22B. The first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 are driven by the conveyor drive motor 23 shown in Figure 3. 【0042】 The first component supply unit 24A is positioned on the main frame 20 on the Y1 side in the Y direction relative to the first lane L1, and is a unit that supplies components to be mounted on the substrate P transported in the first lane L1. The second component supply unit 24B is positioned on the main frame 20 on the Y2 side in the Y direction relative to the second lane L2, and is a unit that supplies components to be mounted on the substrate P transported in the second lane L2. Each of the first component supply unit 24A and the second component supply unit 24B is equipped with multiple feeders 24F arranged in parallel. The feeders 24F are, for example, tape feeders that supply chip-shaped components. Each of the first component supply unit 24A and the second component supply unit 24B may also be equipped with feeders 24F other than tape feeders, such as stick feeders or tray feeders. 【0043】 The first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B are head units that pick up parts from the feeder 24F, move them to work positions W1 and W2, and perform a part mounting operation to mount the parts onto the circuit board P. The first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B are provided to move independently of each other on the main frame 20 in the X and Y directions by a head unit drive mechanism 30. 【0044】 The head unit drive mechanism 30 includes a pair of fixed rails 34 extending in the Y direction and fixed to the main frame 20, a first beam 32 and a second beam 33 movably supported on these fixed rails 34 and extending in the X direction, a ball screw shaft 39A screwed into the first beam 32 and rotationally driven by a Y-axis motor 37A, and a ball screw shaft 39B screwed into the second beam 33 and rotationally driven by a Y-axis motor 37B. The head unit drive mechanism 30 also includes a fixed rail (not shown) fixed to the first beam 32 and supporting the first head unit 26A so as to be movable in the X direction, a fixed rail (not shown) fixed to the second beam 33 and supporting the second head unit 26B so as to be movable in the X direction, a ball screw shaft 38A screwed into the first head unit 26A and rotationally driven by an X-axis motor 36A, and a ball screw shaft 38B screwed into the second head unit 26B and rotationally driven by an X-axis motor 36B. 【0045】 In other words, the head unit drive mechanism 30 moves the first head unit 26A along the first beam 32 in the X direction via a ball screw shaft 38A using the X-axis motor 36A, and moves the second head unit 26B along the second beam 33 in the X direction via a ball screw shaft 38B using the X-axis motor 36B. Furthermore, the head unit drive mechanism 30 moves the first beam 32 in the Y direction via a ball screw shaft 39A using the Y-axis motor 37A, and moves the second beam 33 in the Y direction via a ball screw shaft 39B using the Y-axis motor 37B. With this configuration, the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B move in the X and Y directions within a certain range of space above the main frame 20. 【0046】 The first head unit 26A is positioned on the Y2 side, which is inside the first beam 32, and the second head unit 26B is positioned on the Y1 side, which is inside the second beam 33. 【0047】 Each of the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B is equipped with a plurality of axial mounting heads 27 extending in the Z direction, which is the vertical direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions, and a head drive mechanism for driving these mounting heads 27. The head drive mechanism includes a lifting drive mechanism that individually raises and lowers each mounting head 27 using a Z-axis motor 28 shown in Figure 3, and a rotation drive mechanism that rotates each mounting head 27 in the R direction around its central axis using an R-axis motor 29 shown in Figure 3. The tip of each mounting head 27 is equipped with a nozzle for picking up components. Negative pressure and positive pressure are selectively supplied to each nozzle. This enables the mounting heads 27 to pick up and hold components and to mount components onto the substrate P. 【0048】 As shown in Figure 1, component recognition cameras 40 are positioned on the main frame 20 between the first component supply unit 24A and the first lane L1, and between the second component supply unit 24B and the second lane L2. The component recognition cameras 40 are cameras that capture images from below of components held by the mounting heads 27 of the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B. A digital image of the component is generated based on the image signal output from the component recognition cameras 40. Based on this digital image, processing such as recognition of the state of component suction and holding by the mounting heads 27 is performed. 【0049】 As shown in Figure 1, the first control panel 5 is installed at the Y1 end of the main frame 20 in the Y direction. That is, the first control panel 5 is installed near the first lane L1 of the two lanes L2, L1 and L2. The second control panel 6 is installed at the Y2 end of the main frame 20 in the Y direction. That is, the second control panel 6 is installed near the second lane L2 of the two lanes L2, L1 and L2. The first control panel 5 and the second control panel 6 are control panels on which an operator performs operations related to the first production, which is associated with the component mounting operation of the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B on the substrate P transported in the first lane L1, and the second production, which is associated with the component mounting operation of the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B on the substrate P transported in the second lane L2. 【0050】 As shown in Figure 2, the first control panel 5 is equipped with a first production operation switch 51, a first active switch 52, and a first touch panel 53. The second control panel 6 is equipped with a second production operation switch 61, a second active switch 62, and a second touch panel 63. 【0051】 The first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 are operation switches for performing operations related to the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2. The operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 is managed by the control unit 7 described below. The first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 become operable by the operator when they are set to an operable state by the control unit 7. The first production operation switch 51 includes a first production start switch 511, a first production stop switch 512, and a first reset switch 513. Similarly, the second production operation switch 61 includes a second production start switch 611, a second production stop switch 612, and a second reset switch 613. The first production start switch 511 and the second production start switch 611 are switches for performing operations to start production in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. The first production stop switch 512 and the second production stop switch 612 are switches for stopping production in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. The first reset switch 513 and the second reset switch 613 are switches for resetting the production status of production in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. 【0052】 The first active switch 52 is a request operation switch for performing an operation that requests the activation of the operation of the first control panel 5. In other words, the first active switch 52 is a switch for performing an operation that requests the activation of the operation of the first production operation switch 51 located on the first control panel 5. On the other hand, the second active switch 62 is a request operation switch for performing an operation that requests the activation of the operation of the second control panel 6. In other words, the second active switch 62 is a switch for performing an operation that requests the activation of the operation of the second production operation switch 61 located on the second control panel 6. The control unit 7 manages the operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 using the operation of the first active switch 52 and the second active switch 62 as triggers. 【0053】 The first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63 are touch panels having the function of an input operation unit that receives input operations for various commands related to each production in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and a display unit that displays various information related to each production in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. The first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63 include a touch sensor having a touch surface that functions as an input operation unit, and a display having a display surface that functions as a display unit. The touch sensor is configured as, for example, a resistive touch sensor, and the display is configured as, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. 【0054】 [Control system for component mounting equipment] As shown in the block diagram of Figure 3, the component mounting device 1 further comprises a control unit 7 and a storage unit 8. 【0055】 The control unit 7 consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), storage areas such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and flash memory for storing control programs, and RAM (Random Access Memory) used as the CPU's workspace. The control unit 7 performs component mounting processing in the component mounting device 1 by having the CPU execute the control programs stored in the HDD and flash memory, and also performs operation management processing to manage the operation of various switches such as the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61. In addition, the control unit 7 controls the display of various information on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. 【0056】 The control unit 7 controls each motor, including the X-axis motors 36A and 36B, the Y-axis motors 37A and 37B, the Z-axis motor 28, and the R-axis motor 29, during the component mounting process, as well as controlling the conveyor drive motor 23. 【0057】 The production method of the component mounting apparatus 1, which is executed by the component mounting process of the control unit 7, is a so-called asynchronous transport production method, in which component-mounted substrates are produced by transporting substrates P independently between the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and sequentially performing component mounting processing on each substrate P. In this embodiment, the first production method and the second production method are applied as this asynchronous transport production method. 【0058】 In the first production method, for the upstream work position W1, the first head unit 26A loads components onto the circuit board P located at the upstream work position W1 in the first lane L1, and the second head unit 26B loads components onto the circuit board P located at the upstream work position W1 in the second lane L2. For the downstream work position W2, the second head unit 26B loads components onto the circuit board P located at the downstream work position W2 in the first lane L1, and the first head unit 26A loads components onto the circuit board P located at the downstream work position W2 in the second lane L2. In this case, the first head unit 26A picks only components supplied by the first component supply unit 24A, and the second head unit 26B picks only components supplied by the second component supply unit 24B. 【0059】 In the second production method, the first head unit 26A loads components onto the circuit board P located at the upstream work position W1 in both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and the second head unit 26B loads components onto the circuit board P located at the downstream work position W2 in both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. In the second production method as well, the first head unit 26A picks only the components supplied by the first component supply unit 24A, and the second head unit 26B picks only the components supplied by the second component supply unit 24B. 【0060】 In the operation management process, the control unit 7 automatically selects the target lanes for operation of the first production switch 51 and the second production switch 61 from among the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, according to the multiple production states of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2. This ensures that the target lanes for operation of the first production switch 51 and the second production switch 61 are accurately selected according to the respective production states of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. Furthermore, since the control unit 7 automatically selects the target lanes for operation of the first production switch 51 and the second production switch 61, it is possible to omit the operator's operation of the switches to identify the target lanes. This improves the operational efficiency of the first production switch 51 and the second production switch 61 by the operator. 【0061】 The multiple production states for the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 include production in progress, production stopped, production ready, error occurred, and production finished. 【0062】 The "In Production" state indicates that production is ongoing. The "Stopped Production" state indicates that production has stopped. The "Prepared for Production" state indicates that preparations for production have been completed. When the type of circuit board P on which components are mounted changes, the operator performs production preparation work. Production preparation work includes preparing the feeders 24F in the first component supply unit 24A and the second component supply unit 24B. The "Prepared for Production" state is entered when preparations for production are completed in accordance with the completion of the production preparation work by the operator. 【0063】 The error occurrence status indicates a production error has occurred. Production errors include board transport errors due to abnormalities in board transport by the first transport conveyor 21 and the second transport conveyor 22, component supply errors due to abnormalities in component supply by the feeder 24F in the first component supply unit 24A and the second component supply unit 24B, and component mounting errors due to abnormalities in component mounting by the mounting head 27 in the first head unit 26A and the second head unit 26B. The production completion status indicates that the planned production quantity has been completed. 【0064】 When the operator selects a target lane to be operated by the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61, the control unit 7 enables operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 for the target lane. This allows the operator to perform production operations on the target lane via at least one of the production operation switches, the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61. 【0065】 For example, when starting production in a target lane, the operator operates at least one of the first production start switch 511 and the second production start switch 611 for the target lane. When stopping production in a target lane, the operator operates at least one of the first production stop switch 512 and the second production stop switch 612 for the target lane. Furthermore, when performing production preparation work in conjunction with a board type change for the board P on which components are mounted, the operator stops production in the target lane by operating at least one of the first production stop switch 512 and the second production stop switch 612 for the target lane, and then performs the production preparation work. Once the preparation for production in the target lane is complete in accordance with the completion of the production preparation work, the operator resets the production state of the target lane by operating at least one of the first reset switch 513 and the second reset switch 613 for the target lane. 【0066】 When at least one of the first active switch 52 and the second active switch 62 is operated, the control unit 7 automatically selects the target lane for operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 from among the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, according to the respective production states of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2. In this case, the control unit 7 can automatically select the target lane for operation according to the respective production states of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, using the operation of the first active switch 52 and the second active switch 62 by the operator as a trigger for automatic selection. 【0067】 Furthermore, if an error occurs in at least one of the first production in the first lane L1 or the second production in the second lane L2, the control unit 7 automatically selects the lane to be operated by the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 from among the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, according to the error condition. In this case, the control unit 7 can automatically select the lane to be operated using the occurrence of a production error as a trigger for automatic selection. 【0068】 Furthermore, when at least one of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 reaches a production completion state, the control unit 7 automatically selects the target lane for operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 from among the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, according to the production completion state. In this case, the control unit 7 can automatically select the target lane for operation using the completion of production as a trigger for automatic selection. 【0069】 The storage unit 8 pre-stores the operation target data D1 shown in Figure 4, which the control unit 7 refers to when performing operation management processing. The operation target data D1 is data that associates the operation target lane with each of the multiple production states of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. The storage unit 8 stores the operation target data D1 for each automatic selection trigger, which is the trigger for the automatic selection of the operation target lane by the control unit 7. 【0070】 When the operation of the first active switch 52 and the second active switch 62 is set as an automatic selection trigger, the operation target data D1 is associated with production status information DA11 related to the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and lane information DA12 related to the lane to be operated. Specifically, when both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in production (both lanes in production), the lane closest to the control panel that is requested to activate the operation in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62 (the active lane) is associated as the lane to be operated. For example, when the first active switch 52 located on the first control panel 5 is operated, the first lane L1, located close to the first control panel 5, becomes the active lane, and when the second active switch 62 located on the second control panel 6 is operated, the second lane L2, located close to the second control panel 6, becomes the active lane. When both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in a production stop state (both lanes production stopped), both lanes (both lanes) are associated as the target lanes for operation. When one of the lanes, the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, is in a production state (one lane production in progress), the production stop state lane (the production stop state active lane) located closest to the control panel of the first control panel 5 and the second control panel 6 that is required to be activated in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62 is associated as the target lanes for operation. When both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in a production ready state (both lanes production ready), both lanes (both lanes) are associated as the target lanes for operation. When one of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is in a production-ready state (one lane production-ready), the production-ready lane (production-ready active lane) located closest to the control panel of the first control panel 5 and the second control panel 6 that is required to activate the operation in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62 is associated as the lane to be operated. 【0071】 When the occurrence of a production error is set as the automatic selection trigger, the target data D1 is associated with the production status information DB11 for the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and the lane information DB12 for the target lane. Specifically, when both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in an error state (both lanes have errors), both lanes (both lanes) are associated as the target lanes. When one of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is in an error state and the other is in a production state (one lane has an error, the other is in production), the lane that has an error (the error lane) is associated as the target lane. When one of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is in an error state and the other is in a production stop state or a reset state due to the reset switch being operated (one lane has an error, the other lane is production stopped or reset), no target lane is associated, and the automatic selection process of the target lane by the control unit 7 is skipped (no automatic selection). 【0072】 When the end of production is set as the automatic selection trigger, the target data D1 is associated with the production status information DC11 for the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and the lane information DC12 for the target lane. Specifically, when both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in a production completion state (both lanes production completed), both lanes (both lanes) are associated as the target lane. When one of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is in a production completion state and the other is in a production in progress state (one lane production completed, the other lane production in progress), the lane that has entered the production completion state (the production completion lane) is associated as the target lane. When one of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is in a production completion state and the other is in a production stop state or a reset state due to the reset switch being operated (one lane production completed, the other lane production stopped or reset), no target lane is associated, and the automatic selection process of the target lane by the control unit 7 is skipped (no automatic selection). 【0073】 In this embodiment, the storage unit 8 stores the data to be operated on D1 in a rewritable manner. In this case, the data to be operated on D1 is rewritten by an operator through input operations via the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. The rewritten data to be operated on D1 is stored in the storage unit 8. 【0074】 When an operator performs an operation to rewrite the target data D1, the control unit 7 displays the operation screen SC1 shown in Figures 5 to 7 on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. The operation screen SC1 has a trigger selection input area AR11 that accepts input operations for trigger selection commands indicating a command to select an automatic selection trigger. The operator can select an automatic selection trigger, which will trigger the automatic selection of the target lane by the control unit 7, by touching the trigger selection input area AR11 on the operation screen SC1 displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. 【0075】 Furthermore, the operation screen SC1 is equipped with multiple radio buttons AR12 that accept input operations for lane designation commands, which indicate the command to specify the target lane for operation, corresponding to each of the multiple production states in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. The operator can set the target lane for operation for each of the multiple production states in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 by touching each radio button AR12 on the operation screen SC1 displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. 【0076】 In the example of the operation screen SC1 shown in Figure 5, for the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, there are radio buttons AR12 with the string "Active Lane" indicating the active lane, radio buttons AR12 with the string "All Lane" indicating both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and radio buttons AR12 with the string "No automatic selection" corresponding to the production status of "Both lanes in production," "Both lanes stopped production," "One lane in production," "Both lanes ready for production," and "One lane ready for production." When the "Active Lane" radio button AR12 is touched, the active lane is set as the target lane for operation. When the "All Lane" radio button AR12 is touched, both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are set as the target lanes for operation. When the "No automatic selection" radio button AR12 is touched, the automatic selection of the target lane by the control unit 7 is bypassed. In addition, for the production status of "One lane in production," there is a radio button AR12 with the string "Production stopped Active Lane" indicating the active lane in the production stopped state. When the "Production Stopped Active Lane" radio button AR12 is touched, the active lane in the production stopped state is set as the target lane. In addition, corresponding to the production state of "One Lane Production Ready," there is a radio button AR12 with the string "Production Ready Active Lane" indicating the active lane in the production ready state. When the "Production Ready Active Lane" radio button AR12 is touched, the active lane in the production ready state is set as the target lane. 【0077】 In the example of the operation screen SC1 shown in Figure 6, for the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, there are radio buttons AR12 with the string "Error Lane" indicating the error lane, radio button AR12 with the string "All Lane" indicating both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, and radio button AR12 with the string "No automatic selection". When the radio button AR12 with "Error Lane" is touched, the error lane is set as the target lane for operation. When the radio button AR12 with "All Lane" is touched, both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are set as the target lanes for operation. When the radio button AR12 with "No automatic selection" is touched, the control unit 7 is set to bypass automatic selection of the target lane for operation. 【0078】 In the example of the operation screen SC1 shown in Figure 7, for the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, there are radio buttons AR12 with the string "End Lane" indicating the lane where production has ended, radio button AR12 with the string "All Lane" indicating both lanes L1 and L2, and radio button AR12 with the string "No Automatic Selection". When the radio button AR12 with "End Lane" is touched, the lane where production has ended is set as the target lane for operation. When the radio button AR12 with "All Lane" is touched, both lanes L1 and L2 are set as the target lanes for operation. When the radio button AR12 with "No Automatic Selection" is touched, the control unit 7 is set to bypass automatic selection of the target lane for operation. 【0079】 Based on the operation target data D1 stored in the memory unit 8, the control unit 7 can automatically select the target lane for operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 from the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, according to multiple production states for the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2, respectively. This makes the operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 by the operator more efficient and also suppresses operator errors. 【0080】 In the operation management process, the control unit 7 displays the management screen SC2 shown in Figure 8 on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. The management screen SC2 has a selection status display area AR2. The control unit 7 displays lane selection status information J1, which indicates the selection status of the target lane, in the selection status display area AR2 on the management screen SC2 on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63. Based on the lane selection status information J1 displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63, the operator can recognize which lane is selected as the target lane in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2. 【0081】 Specifically, within the selection status display area AR2 of the management screen SC2, there are the switch shape display area AR21 where the switch shape GR is displayed, the first lane selection operation area AR22 where the string "Lane1" indicating the first lane L1 is displayed, the second lane selection operation area AR23 where the string "Lane2" indicating the second lane L2 is displayed, and the both lane selection operation area AR24 where the string "All Lane" indicating both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 is displayed. Within the selection status display area AR2 of the management screen SC2, the first lane selection operation area AR22, the second lane selection operation area AR23, and the both lane selection operation area AR24 are arranged around the switch shape display area AR21. The lane selection status information J1 is represented by the direction pointed to by the switch shape GR displayed within the switch shape display area AR21. For example, if the switch shape GR points to the first lane selection operation area AR22, the lane selection status information J1 indicates that the first lane L1 has been selected as the target lane for operation. When the switch shape GR points to the second lane selection operation area AR23, the lane selection status information J1 indicates that the second lane L2 has been selected as the target lane for operation. When the switch shape GR points to the double lane selection operation area AR24, the lane selection status information J1 indicates that both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 have been selected as target lanes for operation. 【0082】 Furthermore, the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63 receive input of a switching command from an operator who commands the switching of the target lane when the management screen SC2 is displayed. When a switching command is input via the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63, the control unit 7 switches the target lane in accordance with the switching command. When the management screen SC2 is displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63, the operator can switch the target lane to the first lane L1 by touching the first lane selection operation area AR22, switch the target lane to the second lane L2 by touching the second lane selection operation area AR23, and switch the target lane to both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 by touching both lane selection operation areas AR24. 【0083】 Next, the operation management process of the control unit 7 will be explained in more detail, referring to the flowchart in Figure 9. 【0084】 The control unit 7 determines whether at least one of the first active switch 52 and the second active switch 62 has been operated (step s1). The control unit 7 also determines whether at least one of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 has entered an error state (step s11). The control unit 7 also determines whether at least one of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 has entered a production completion state (step s12). 【0085】 If the active switch is operated (YES in step s1), if an error occurs (YES in step s11), or if production ends (YES in step s12), the control unit 7 acquires the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 (step s2). Then, according to the production status of the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, the control unit 7 automatically selects the target lane for operation of the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 from the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 (step s3). 【0086】 Specifically, when both the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 are in production, the control unit 7 selects the lane closest to the control panel that is requested to be activated in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62 (the active lane) as the lane to be operated. For example, when both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in production, the control unit 7 selects the first lane L1, which is closest to the first control panel 5, as the lane to be operated if the first active switch 52 located on the first control panel 5 is operated, and selects the second lane L2, which is closest to the second control panel 6, as the lane to be operated if the second active switch 62 located on the second control panel 6 is operated. As a result, when both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are in production, the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 can be operated on the lane to be operated selected in response to the operation of the active switch. 【0087】 If both the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 are in a production stop state, the control unit 7 selects both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 as the lanes to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, which are in a production stop state. 【0088】 In the case where one of the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 is in production mode and the other is in production stop mode, the control unit 7 selects the lane in production stop mode (the active lane in production stop mode) that is closest to the control panel of the first control panel 5 and the second control panel 6 that is requested to be activated in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62 as the lane to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on the lane in production stop mode. 【0089】 When both the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 are ready for production, the control unit 7 selects both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 as the lanes to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, which are in the ready-for-production state. 【0090】 When either the first production in the first lane L1 or the second production in the second lane L2 reaches a production-ready state, the control unit 7 selects the production-ready lane (the production-ready active lane) located closest to the control panel that is requested to be activated in response to the operation of the first active switch 52 or the second active switch 62, from among the first control panel 5 and the second control panel 6, as the lane to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on the production-ready lane. 【0091】 If both the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 are in an error state, the control unit 7 selects both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 as the lanes to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 that are in an error state. 【0092】 If, in the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2, one production is in an error state while the other is in production state, the control unit 7 selects the lane in the error state from the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 as the lane to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on the lane in the error state. 【0093】 When both the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2 have reached the end of production, the control unit 7 selects both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 as the lanes to be operated. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on both the first lane L1 and the second lane L2, which are in the end of production state. 【0094】 In the first production in the first lane L1 and the second production in the second lane L2, if one production is completed and the other is in production, the control unit 7 selects the lane that has completed production as the target lane for operation. This makes it possible to operate the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 on the lane that has completed production. 【0095】 Once the process of selecting the target lane is complete, the control unit 7 displays lane selection status information J1 on the management screen SC2 of the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63 (step s4). Based on the lane selection status information J1 displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63, the operator can recognize which lane in the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 has been selected as the target lane. 【0096】 With the management screen SC2 displayed on the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63, the control unit 7 determines whether or not a command to switch the target lane has been input via the first touch panel 53 and the second touch panel 63 (step s5). If a command to switch the target lane has been input (YES in step s5), the control unit 7 switches the target lane in accordance with the command (step s6). 【0097】 When the operator selects a target lane to be operated on by the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61, the control unit 7 makes the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61 operable for the target lane (step s7). As a result, the operator can perform production operations on the target lane via at least one of the production operation switches, the first production operation switch 51 and the second production operation switch 61.
