Switch, Button and
Indicator
The process starts with loading the dimensions,
pin assignments, profile, and batch number into the
system computer. A tray of RAM modules is then
placed in the machine, and the operator presses a
button to start the test.
PCI-1750 starts by using a digital input for a sensor
that detects the presence of the RAM module tray.
If present, digital output channels are used to turn
on the activation light and inform PCI-1240U that
it is time to start moving the modules. PCI-1240U
responds by using three of its axes to pick the first
module from the tray and place it into the fixed
motherboard. When placed, PCI-1750 uses a digital
output to turn on the power of the motherboard.
Software running on the machine’s computer fills the
memory of the RAM module with a pattern, which is
then read back and checked to see if anything had
changed. If not, the module has passed the test and
is placed in an output tray leading to the packaging
machine. If there is an error, the module is moved to
a tray for defect modules. No matter what the result
is, the system records the test result in a database
over an Ethernet connection, together with the serial
number of the RAM module.
The test continues with the pick-and-place tool
moving to the next RAM module on the tray until
all are tested. While one tray is being tested, the
operator prepares the second tray.
Conclusion
•
The new system is entirely based on industrial PCs, meaning maintenance and operation has
been considerably simplified
•
The PC-based system provides a larger memory and an open architecture that is easier for
programming and expansion
