Users only engaged in board design are expected to mainly study Board Design but are recommended to previously read and try out Library. Preface Preface - 1 1. Overview of the Lesson Master Training <CAM> offers you insight into the concept of CAM, from creating a manufacturing panel database to generating CAM data. With CR-5000, CAM data output performed from a manufacturing panel database, into which board data generated with Board Designer and Board Producer has been entered. Chapter 1 Using CAM Design Tools 1-1 1. Overview of the Lesson The workflow of Master Training <CAM> is outlined below. Creating a manufacturing panel database Creating panel database Copy required information from the manufacturing rule library, technology library, design rule library, and footprint library to create a panel database. Reference Refer to “Chapter 3, 2. Preparing Manufacturing Panel Data”. Manufacturing panel design tool Inputting multiboard cutting and manufacturing data Input board designed with the Board Designer and manufacturing reference points. Reference Refer to “Chapter 5, 1. Designing Manufacturing Panel Data”. Executing a manufacturing rule check Execute Area MRC and Check Aperture Violation to locate possible bottlenecks in the manufacturing process. Reference Refer to “Chapter 5, 2. Verifying Manufacturing Panel Data”. 1-2 Chapter 1 Using CAM Design Tools 1. Overview of the Lesson Photo tool Outputting photo data Generate photo data from the panel database designed with the manufacturing panel design tool. Reference Refer to “Chapter 6, 1. Outputting Photo Data”. Drill tool Outputting drill data Generate drill data from the panel database designed with the manufacturing panel design tool. Reference Refer to “Chapter 7, 1. Generating Drill Data”. Essentially, this process is a continuation from that explained on the preceding page, but an understanding of the [Manufacturing rule library] is a prerequisite to handling the [Manufacturing panel database], [Photo tool], and [Drill tool]. Master Training <CAM> involves a conceptual understanding of the [Manufacturing rule library]. Manufacturing rule library Registering a manufacturing rule library Learn about the panel specifications governing the entry of multiboard cutting and manufacturing data, and how to register various manufacturers' photo machines and drill machines. Reference Refer to “Chapter 4. Manufacturing Rule Library” and “Chapter 8. Registering Manufacturing Machines”. Chapter 1 Using CAM Design Tools 1-3 1. CAM Data Output Processing data, or CAM data, can be generated on the basis of the board data generated by the Board Designer and Board Producer. The following two kinds of CAM data can be generated: Photo data (Block copy preparation data) Drill data (Drill processing data) Photo data Photo data is data that drives the photo plotter to produce conductive patterns and block copies, such as silks. Drill data Drill data is data that drives the drill machine to drill holes into which insert-mounted components are mounted. A manufacturing panel database is created with the Board Producer first, then board data that is subject to processing is entered into the manufacturing panel database before CAM data can be generated from it. An NC format file (NCF) is needed at CAM data output. An NCF is a format file that defines a data format (including an operation code) that is intelligible to the photo plotter and the drill machine in creating NC data. CAM data, when generated, is transferred to the individual processing machines. Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2-1 1. CAM Data Output Photo data output Using (photo tool) for Board Producer, photo data that is intelligible to the photo plotter can be generated on the basis of the board data designed with Board Designer and Board Producer and entered into the manufacturing panel database. Using this photo output tool, information on coordinate location and width information on components that make up the objects entered into the board data is generated, converted to a data format that is intelligible to the photo plotter. Photo data is made up of a control code that initializes or terminates the photo plotter itself, and a control code and coordinates that are used to plot a graphic pattern. Note the photo data above. [D02 Xxx Yxx], for example, represents a control code and coordinates. Photo data does not have the concept of an object compared to that entered into board data, such as pad, line, or component. All objects are broken down into the following three elements: Stream data: Data that is plotted while being exposed to light. Flash data: Data that is plotted on momentary exposure to light. Polygon data: Data that is plotted with outline and filled. When the photo data described above is submitted to the photo plotter, it will produce block copies as those shown below. 2-2 Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 1. CAM Data Output Drill data output Using (drill tool) for the Board Producer, drill data that is intelligible to the drill machine can be generated on the basis of the board data designed with the Board Designer and Board Producer and entered into the manufacturing panel database. Using this drill tool, information on coordinate location and hole diameter information on holes in the hole data padstack entered into the board data is generated, converted to a data format that is intelligible to the drill machine. Drill data is made up of a control code that initializes or terminates the drill machine itself, and a control code and coordinates that are used to drill holes with a tool (drill blade). Note the drill data above. [G81 Xxx Yxx], for example, represents a control code and coordinates. When the drill data described above is submitted to the drill machine, it will drill holes in the board as shown below. Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2-3 1. CAM Data Output Manufacturing panel database A database, called “Manufacturing panel database” was mentioned in [ Photo data output] and [ Drill data output]. When photo data or drill data is generated, it is not directly generated from the PC board database, but the board data is entered into the manufacturing panel database, from which CAM data is generated. The flow of CAM data output is illustrated below. The manufacturing panel database is generated from the panel tool for Board Producer. The panel tool permits multiboard cutting from all kinds of board data, from board data sharing the same technology to that varying in technology, and input of a manufacturing data output reference point. 2-4 Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2. CAM Data Verification Functions Board Producer provides four functions to verify CAM data generated by the photo tool or drill tool before it can be submitted to the photo plotter or drill machine, as follows: 1. Draw function 2. List function 3. Sum function 4. Add function [1. Draw] The Draw function is used to plot photo data or drill data on a plotter for verification. [2. List] The List function is used to list photo data or drill data in ASCII code for verification. Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2-5 2. CAM Data Verification Functions [3. Sum] The Sum function is used to sum up the control codes (operation codes) used in photo data or drill data and list them by code. [4. Add] The Add function is used to import photo data to an existing PC board database or to the manufacturing panel database. These verification functions can be implemented by executing the following programs: Photo data check program (zphck) Drill data check program (zdrck) Photo data check program Executes the photo tool and verifies the resultant photo data. Drill data check program Executes the drill tool and verifies the resultant drill data. 2-6 Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2. CAM Data Verification Functions Photo data check program (zphck) The photo data check program reads the photo data generated by the photo tool and draws, summarizes, lists, and adds the resultant photo data. Executing the photo data check program enables you to verify the actual block-copy image that is created by the photo plotter or check for data omissions. Photo data can be plotted together with the source panel database as specified at program startup so that the design data and photo data can be easily checked for consistency. Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2-7 2. CAM Data Verification Functions Drill data check program (zdrck) The drill data check program reads the drill data generated by the drill tool and draws, summarizes, and lists the resultant drill data. Executing the drill data check program enables you to verify actual images of the drills that are produced by a drill machine or check for data omissions. Drill data can be plotted together with the source panel database as specified at program startup so that the design data and drill data can be easily checked for consistency. 2-8 Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2. CAM Data Verification Functions CAM Check Tool (phdiff) This tool converts the photo/drill data and the data for the panel (PNL) /PC board (PCB) database into a bitmap and compares both data shapes to check that they are the same. You can check for non-matching data on the coordinates list dialog. Error location Chapter 2 Generating CAM Data 2-9 1. Starting the Board Producer The CAM data output and CAM data verification functions introduced in Chapter 2 are all implemented by using Board Producer. Board Producer provides the following six tools: Manufacturing panel design tool Photo tool Drill tool CAM Check tool Manufacturing rule edit tool Technology update tool The relationships between these tools and the workflow of board design are illustrated below. Board design Board design Edit manufacturing rules Manufacturing panel design Manufacturing rule edit tool Generate a panel database Panel entry Manufacturing checks Manufacturing panel tool Update technologies (*1) (*1)The technology update tool is used as needed.

Outputting Photo Data What is the photo tool? The photo tool generates data for block copies (photo films) from the manufacturing panel data created in Chapter 5, which are to be produced by a photo plotter. [Manufacturing panel data] What is photo data? Photo data is the data that is converted into a format that can be read by a photo plotter. It consists of a listing of information on the coordinate location and width of data stored in a manufacturing panel library <.pnl>, such as lines, lands, areas, and text data. In addition to such pictorial information, the photo data also covers a description of the control codes needed to start up and shut down the photo plotter. [The photo tool] can output photo data for specific applications by specifying conditions such as PNL (PCB) layers to be output. By using the photo plotter you can plot high-precision block copies, such as conductive patterns, resist patterns, and silk-screened patterns with the photo data. The format of the photo data that can be received differs slightly depending on the photo plotter installed at your (or your customer's) site. Thus, photo data that meets the specifications of the machine used should be output. In this situation, you must generate an NC format (NCF) file that defines the format that photo data is to be output in and an aperture table that defines the correspondence between widths and shapes, and the D-codes supported by the photo plotter. Reference Refer to “Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines” for NCF and aperture table. Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 6-1 1. Outputting Photo Data With the photo tool, output layers and output formats are specified in units of film on the basis of a single set of panel data. Flow of photo tool Reference Refer to P6-16 “Photo Data Output Data List” for data list. Target data to be output in the Photo Tool is objects on the specified output target layers. Figure Object Pad Line Area Example figure Figure Object Leader (*1) Length dimension line (*1) Angle dimension line (*1) Linear dimension line (*1) Example figure Mesh Plane Hole Area Padstack Only the pad in the padstack is generated. Pad Text Hole Component symbol Rectangle Round Oblong 6-2 Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 1. Outputting Photo Data ！ Caution The pad in a padstack is handled as an object (such as a line or area) at pad registration. *1 The leader, and the length, angle, and diameter/radius dimension lines are objects of a drawing layer and are not generated unless a drawing layer is set as an output layer. Note Output photo data does not have a concept of objects (such as line or area), but the output noun always assumes either of the following two kinds of elements: "Land" and "In-via land" Flash data Data that is plotted when the photo plotter shutter opens at a given point (momentary exposure). All other nouns other than the above, such as "line" are handled in the same way as "line." Stream data Data that is plotted as the photo plotter moves with its shutter open (moving exposure). Line Area (Areas are like a collection of lines.) Polygon data Data that only has outline and its inside filled out. Flash data and stream data are generated as photo data in that order. The individual objects are generated in sequence, beginning with the one having the smallest width. Also, difference between Stream data and Polygon data depends on setting in NCF in the photo machine. Reference Refer to Appendix-1 “Photo Machine NCF” for Stream mode and Polygon mode. Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 6-3 1. Outputting Photo Data Activating the photo tool Lesson Click a file set [sample2/[panel]] on the CAD File Manager file canvas, and then click (photo tool). Click Click Click Then, the Photo Tool will open. In the Photo Tool, shown above, specify information such as the specification of the output manufacturing machine (in Photo Machine) and the file names of the output destinations. 6-4 Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 1. Outputting Photo Data Photo parameter file In the Photo Tool, you can specify settings such as the settings for the film, for example the output layer and coordinate conversion, and the manufacturing machine. The following items of information can be set in this dialog box: 1. PC Board/Panel Database Name 2. Reference Parameter File Name 3. Photo Machine 4. Output Film (Output Layer, Mirror, Output Figure) 5. Coordinates Conversion (Rotate, scale, offset, reference point, clipping) 6. Specify Output Destination 7. Photo Output Execution Here is an introduction to the Photo Tool. [1. PC Board/Panel Database Name] Specify the name of the PC board database or panel database that is subject to photo data output. Normally, the panel database name that has been selected by the CAD File Manager is set. [2. Reference Parameter File Name] When reading an existing parameter file, set its file name. [3. Photo Machine] Specify the name of the photo machine for which photo data is to be generated. Select a photo machine name from the manufacturing rule database that has been set as Ref. MRL File in the dialog box. ！ Caution The default for the Ref. MRL File is the manufacturing rule database name that corresponds with the panel database to be output. However, you can also reference the manufacturing rule database name for other panel database. Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 6-5 1. Outputting Photo Data * Photo machine name Select a photo machine name from among <Manufacturing Machines> specified in the Create New File dialog box at panel database creation. Then, why is it necessary to specify a manufacturing machine name? This is because information about the specified photo machine is copied from the manufacturing rule library into the panel database by using the photo machine name as a key. Information on manufacturing machine is copied on to mrl file. Since information about a photo machine has thus been copied into the panel database, data that meets the specifications of that photo machine can be output by simply setting the photo machine name at photo data output. Then, what kind of information is defined as photo machine name-specific information (photo machine specifications)? The photo machine specifications have the following two kinds of information defined for each individual machine: 1. NC format file 2. Aperture table [1. NC format (NCF) file] An NCF file defines the control codes needed to drive the photo machine and a data format. [2. Aperture table] An aperture table defines the correspondence between the widths (sizes) and the D-codes for the machine. Reference Refer to “5.

For details about option parameters, refer to [Batch Programs] in the Online Help. Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 6 - 29 2. Verifying Photo Data Verifying photo data by drawing (draw mode) Executing the photo data check program in the draw mode allows photo data to be drawn on a plotter or on the screen. Further, you can reference the panel database source photo data and the photo output parameter file used at photo tool execution to superimpose the panel data and photo data onto each other. [draw] mode Since drawing is carried out on the basis of output photo data, you can visually check the drawing for missing data, deformation or any other defects before it is moved to a photo plotter. 6 - 30 Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 2. Verifying Photo Data As in drawing panel data and hole drawings, the draw mode of the photo data check program is divided into two processing parts: preprocessor and postprocessor. Preprocessor: The preprocessor converts photo data into intermediate data to meet a given set of conditions, such as whether the data will be scaled and whether only a particular area will be drawn. Postprocessor: The postprocessor receives the intermediate data from the preprocessor and converts it into a format that it is intelligible to the plotter before transferring it. Different data formats are intelligible to different plotter models. The postprocessor must therefore suit your plotter model. Flow of Draw mode Chapter 6 Creating Photo Data 6 - 31 2. Verifying Photo Data Lesson Create a parameter file containing the parameters defined below and execute the photo data check program in draw mode. Direct the output data to the disk as intermediate data.

Verifying Photo Data Photo data as generated can be broken down into the following elements according to its object: Flash data Stream data Polygon data As the output photo data is input into a specified layer, the object type (resist data, silk-screen data, or metal mask data) depends on the layer attribute of the specified layer. Flash data The input object differs depending on whether the flash data is input into a data layer or drawing layer. Data layer ·············Added as a pad. Drawing layer········Added as an area. When flash data is input to the data layer, the D code for flash data is used as the pad name. If the same name pad already exists, the name is added with “-” and numbered sequentially from one. (Example) D10 D10-1 When already exists Stream data The aperture table is referenced from the manufacturing rule database that is referenced from the D-code in the photo data to locate a pen having the corresponding round or rectangular shape, that is then input as a line. Note If the D-code does not correspond or an aperture table does not exist, a pen width of 0 is assumed. Polygon data Shape data that is assumed to be polygon data according to the NC format for the photo machine in the referenced manufacturing rule database is added as area data. In most instances, polygon data is added with a pen width of 0. For polygon data with pen shape information in a D-code, the pen shape is determined in the same way as for stream data.

Generating Drill Data What is the drill tool? The drill tool outputs data (hereafter called drill data) for mounting insert-mounted components or drilling for via-holes from the manufacturing panel data output in Chapter 5. What is drill data? Drill data is manufacturing panel data converted to a data format that can be read into a drill machine. Drill data is composed of a listing of the information on the round holes (such as in-via holes) and slot holes entered in panel data (PNL) or PC board data (PCB) and includes the coordination location and size of these holes. In addition to such pictorial information, the drill data also covers a description of the control codes needed to start up and shut down the drill machine. Drill data can be transferred to media, such as magnetic tape, that are then submitted to a drill machine to drill PC boards. To be able to output drill data that meets the format specifications of the particular drill machine installed at your (or your customer's) site, it is necessary to create an NC format (NCF) file that defines in what format drill data should be output. In addition, a tool table that defines the correspondence between the drill NC formats and T-codes must be created. Reference Refer to P8-1 “Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines” for details on an NC format and tool table. Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 7-1 1. Generating Drill Data Drill output tool workflow Reference Refer to P7-20 “*Drill data output data list” for information on the data list. The drill tool outputs data concerning: Holes in padstacks containing components Isolated holes These possible output holes can be narrowed down on the basis of certain specifications as described below. Holes in padstacks containing components Specify combinations of the upper and lower wiring layers in the padstacks with <From-To>. Specify output holes by hole diameter and hole kind. Specify output holes by the plating attribute: plated or nonplated. Isolated holes Specify output holes by hole diameter and hole kind. If drill data is output under the conditions illustrated at left: a. All through holes: [Hatched data only] b. All holes in layers 1 to 3: [Painted data] 7-2 Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 1. Generating Drill Data Where data on holes in padstacks (except for those in components) and isolated holes is to be output, a function is available that outputs those holes with certain attributes, such as test coupon and check hole. Test coupons A test coupon is a test hole used to test the processing status of PC boards in the manufacturing process. A test coupon is output outside a PC board and is cut, as needed, to test the drilling conditions of the drilling tool. The timing at which test coupon holes are output in the drill data and the number of such test coupons produced can be specified with parameters at [drill data output] execution. Reference Refer to page 7-6 “ Drill parameter file”. Example Output data on five test coupons for each 1,000 holes output. Check holes A check hole is a hole used to check the drill cutter for breakage during drilling operation. Normally, a check hole is produced at a specific position at the end of a drilling operation using one tool. The timing at which check hole data is output in the drill data and the number of check holes produced is limited; that is, only one check hole is produced just before the tool is exchanged. Test coupon and check hole data is not output automatically, but it must be input with the artwork tool or panel tool before drill output is executed. Example Enter an isolated hole as a check hole P1 Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 7-3 1. Generating Drill Data Example Enter a padstack as a test coupon.

However, you can also refer to the Manufacturing Rule Database names for other panel databases. Assign Tool code is set to one of the following two modes. Auto Assign Manual Automatically assign the number of hole types used. Assign according to the tool table, which is set in the drill machine information for the Manufacturing rule database specified in the drill machine name. <<When Auto Assign>> (1) (2) (3) (4) (1) Assign in ascending or descending order of the hole diameter. (2) In addition to the setting above, you can specify whether to "considered hole type" for the same diameter. (3) You can also specify whether to specify "Distinguish Round Hole from Slot(Square) Hole" for that with the same diameter. (4) You can specify whether to assign tool code with consideration given to same diameter with plating attribute. <<When referring table>> Output a tool code in which the hole diameter (type and usage) described in the tool table and the hole diameter (type and usage) for hole data on the panel /PC board database are assigned. When a tool code related to the output target hole does not exist, output an error message to the output destination. Output in the order described in the tool table. Note When specifying Auto Assign, assign automatically according to the tool code format for the NC format set in the drill machine name that is referred to at drill data output. Reference Refer to P8-14 “ Edit Tool Code dialog box”. Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 7-7 1. Generating Drill Data * Drill machine name Select a drill machine name from among <Manufacturing Machines> specified in the Create New File dialog box at panel database creation as in the case of selecting a photo machine name. The names of the manufacturing machines specified in the Create New File dialog box serve as keywords for copying manufacturing machine information from the manufacturing rule library into the panel database. Manufacturing rules Manufacturing machine information is copied to mrl. Since information on a drill machine has thus been copied into the panel database, data can be output to meet the specifications of that drill machine by simply setting the drill machine name at drill data output. What kind of information is defined as being controlled by drill machine (drill machine specifications)? The drill machine specifications have the following two kinds of information defined for each individual machine: 1. NC format (NCF) file 2.

In this way, the drill data check program can be executed by referencing that file. C:\>zdrck.exe -p parameter-file-name Set a drill file name and a processing mode in the parameter file as well. zdrck parameter file A parameter file can be created and edited using the vi editor or similar editor. Executing the command shown below will create a parameter file so that you can make necessary modifications to suit your needs. <<Creating a parameter file>> C:\>zdrck.exe drill-data-file-name -p:mkparam created-parameter-file-name In this document, specifying parameters with an optional parameter file will be mainly explained. 7 - 32 Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 2. Verifying Drill Data The parameter-set specifies the drill data that executes the drill data check program is executed, and also which of the four verification functions will be executed. In executing the drill data check program, you can specify coordinate conversion such as mirroring, rotation, and scaling. You can specify the following items when executing the drill data check program: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12 13 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23.

Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 7 - 33 2. Verifying Drill Data Verifying drill data by drawing (draw mode) Executing the drill data check program in the draw mode allows drill data to be drawn on a plotter or on the screen. Further, you can reference the panel database source drill data and the drill output parameter file used at drill output tool execution to superimpose the panel data and drill data onto each other. [draw mode] Since drawing is carried out on the basis of output drill data, you can visually check the drawing for missing data, deformation or any other defect before it is moved to a drill machine. 7 - 34 Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 2. Verifying Drill Data As in drawing panel data and hole drawings, the draw mode of the drill data check program is divided into two parts of processing: preprocessor and postprocessor. Pre-processor: The preprocessor converts drill data into intermediate data to meet a given set of conditions, such as whether the data will be scaled and whether only a particular area will be drawn. The postprocessor receives the intermediate data from the preprocessor and converts it into a format that it is intelligible to the plotter before transferring it. Different data formats are intelligible to different plotter models. The postprocessor must therefore suit your plotter model. Post-processor: Draw mode workflow Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 7 - 35 2. Verifying Drill Data Lesson Create a parameter file containing the parameters defined below and execute the drill data check program in draw mode. Direct the output data to disk as intermediate data.

Remove the “#” at the beginning of the MSpec section. Set "DRILL1:C:\home\lesson2\mrdb\pro.mrdb". MSpec: "DRILL1:C:\home\lesson2\mrdb\pro.mrdb" Since a local tool table is not referenced, make sure that it is off. Table: "off" ！ Caution Since drill1.drd (drill data) has been output with [Assign Tools] set to [ manual], the Mspec tool table is referenced, instead of a local tool table. Define the section for the format type specification for automatic analyses as the comment. Start the AutoNCAnalyze section with “#”. Save “drck1.dcp” when setting is finished. Then close the file. #AutoNCAnalize 2 { #} 7 - 38 Chapter 7 Creating Drill Data 2. Verifying Drill Data 3. Execute the drill data check program using the parameter file, "drck1.dcp" set in Step 2.

Verifying Photo Data by Converting to the Bitmap What is the CAM check tool (phdiff)? This tool converts the drill data (or photo data) and panel (PNL) /PC board (PCB) database to the bitmap and compares both data shapes on the screen. It compares them in the following three ways. 1. Comparing drill data to PC board/panel data (with parameter in drill output) 2. Comparing drill data to PC board/panel data (without parameter in drill output) 3. Comparing drill data to drill data 4. Comparing PC board/panel data to PC board/panel data Comparing the figure data verifies the data that is placed in the different position, or exists only one side or overlapped, or the reference point is different, will be detected to errors.

NCFs NCFs The ultimate goal of designing a PC board database and a manufacturing panel database with the Board Designer and Board Producer is to transfer on relevant data to the actual board manufacturing machines, such as a photo plotter and a drill machine. Since, however, the PC board database and the manufacturing panel database are unintelligible to the manufacturing machines in their present form, they need to be converted to data (photo data and drill data) that can be loaded with the aid of the [Photo tool] and the [Drill tool]. An “NC format” is a description of the rules that govern this conversion process, defining, for example, in which character code the output data should be represented and how the coordinates should be expressed. Each different manufacturing machine uses a different NC format because the NC format has different rules depending on the machine. Different formats of photo data can be generated from the same panel database by changing the NC format referenced to execute the [Photo tool] and the [Drill tool]. NC formats must be registered to meet the specifications of the machines used at the customer's site. The following sample formats are available from ZUKEN Corporation: Use File name ZUKEN_photo.ncf gerber.ncf pentax.ncf Gerber Pentax Mutoh Format Photo machine mutou.ncf screen.ncf RS274X.ncf joker.ncf ZUKEN_drill.ncf G81hit.ncf Dainippon Screen Mfg Extended Gerber Aperture-independent output Drill with coordinates of G81 or later Drill with coordinates and EOB Drill with M05 Excellon Drill machine CRhit.ncf M05hit.ncf Excellon.ncf Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 8-7 2.

Photo Machine NCF” and “Appendix 2. Drill Machine NCF” for all definition items including items described in this section. Unit mm inch mil Record Format Specify the unit of output data. Determine the unit according to whether the manufacturing machine is a millimeter-, inch-, or mil-based (regardless of the unit set in the panel database <PNL>). Each instruction that drives a machine is called a block. A block is delimited by an end-of-block (EOB) code. Specify whether a record boundary is allowed within a block (instruction). When an [ * ] (asterisk) is specified as an EOB code Full Storage (Filling) A block fully spanning the rd record boundary. Nonfull storage Each block is terminated so as not to cross a record boundary, with one ETB code being placed to fill the vacant record positions (each having the Record Length specified below); with the vacant positions up to the record boundary padded with pad codes. Reference EOB code, ETB code, and pad code are defined in [Block orders]. Refer to P8-20 “Block orders” for block orders. Record Length Specify the byte length of data that the manufacturing machine can read at a time. Example If a value of 256 is specified 8 - 16 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 3.

Setting NCFs Block orders Click Function on the Edit NCF menu for photo or drill data, then Block Order to open the Edit Block Order menu. [Photo Data Block Order] [Drill Data block Order] The Edit Block Order menu is broadly divided into three setup items: Code definition Block order definition Modal definition Code definition Defines various codes, such as an EOB code and an EOR code. Block order definition Defines a listing of codes that controls the behavior of a machine. Program start: Format of instruction for startup of the machine. Move: Format of instruction for moving the machine without exposure. Draw: Format of instruction for moving the machine linearly with exposure. Instructions are thus composed into a block order, which is defined with macros and ASCII character strings. Modal definition Defines groups of conflicting control codes. Reference Refer to P8-26 “Modals” for modals. * What is a macro command? A macro is a special variable represented by a specific character string,such as [EOB] or [EOR] as introduced in [NCF definition item list for photo machine], [NCF definition item list for drill machine], and [Edit Block Order menu]. Macros are used for the following purposes: (1) To explicitly declare the timing at which momentarily varying values are output (such as coordinates and a Select Tool code). (2) To explicitly declare the timing at which long character strings are output (such as feed codes and labels). (3) To explicitly declare the timing at which noncharacter codes are output (such as LF and CR). Macros appearing in a program are replaced with codes as set in [Code definition] when the program is executed. Macros in the panel database (PNL) are replaced with coordinates from the PC board database (PCB). 8 - 20 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 3. Setting NCFs Typical information defined on these three setup items is described below. [Various codes] Specify one character to delimit an instruction (block) that moves the NC machine. Specify an EOB code as EOB code an ASCII character, octal number, or hexadecimal number. (End Of Block) Select with ASCII characters Select with Octal codes Select with Hexadecimal codes Control codes that cannot be represented in characters, such as CR (carriage return) and LF (line feed), cannot be specified as an ASCII character. When representing an EOB code as an octal or hexadecimal code, adhere to the coding scheme specified by Character Code. Note Click the list icon to open a Select Code dialog box. with ASCII characters in NC character codes. Check the octal and hexadecimal codes that are associated EOR code (End Of Record) Specify one character to mark the end of data output to the paper tape (PT). An EOR code is necessary because the record length is variable. Specify an EOR code in the same way as an EOB code. Sometimes, the transmission of a certain number of occurrences of a given code is prescribed at the end of each operation or at the beginning of each break. This code is called a feed code. Specify one character as a feed code in the same way as an EOB code. Specify one character for each in the same way as an EOB code. Feed code Pad code and ETB code Reference Refer to P8-16 “Record Format” for Pad code and ETB code. Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 8 - 21 3. Setting NCFs [Block order definition] Create instructions for macros and ASCII characters set in a block order. Analyze the block order referenced to the photo output tool.

Once a code in a group is output, the output can be omitted until the conflicting code is encountered. Write conflicting codes in a group in the same row. Up to eight groups can be defined, each containing up to eight control codes. Each code Why a modal needs to be defined? If NC data is output as directed by a block order, an Open Shutter code could be output when the photo plotter aperture shutter is already open. A modal definition prevents such redundant data output. ！ Caution Consult the relevant NC machine function specifications for the codes that can be omitted. 8 - 26 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 3.

Setting Tables * Associating an aperture table and alternate mode Two ways to associate an aperture table are introduced: Basic association of an aperture table Alternate aperture table [ Method for basic aperture association] When data on a single line is available in the PC board database or panel database, the aperture table in the manufacturing rule database is searched for an aperture of a size corresponding to the pen width of that line, and photo data is cleated using the [D code] written in the table. Each aperture in the aperture table is set for flash, stream or polygon (laser photo area drawing) attribute. CR5000 organizes the aperture table by objects, such as pad, wiring pattern, and character. The aperture table is searched for the D codes associated with such objects in the following manner: Object Pad with flash attribute Aperture table Search flash apertures for one with matching shape and size, and associate it with a D code. Expand the pad into component objects (such as surfaces and lines) and search through the stream table for an aperture corresponding to the pen width, then associate it with a D code. Search the stream table for an aperture corresponding to the pen width, then associate it with a D code. Search the stream table for an aperture corresponding to the pen width, then associate it with a D code. Search the stream table for an aperture corresponding to the pen width, then associate it with a D code. Search the stream table for an aperture corresponding to the pen width, then associate it with a D code. Pad without flash attribute All lines containing a wiring pattern All surfaces containing a surface pattern Character and component symbols Dimension line 8 - 38 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 4. Setting Tables Method for a fixed aperture type association The association of a fixed aperture type is essentially similar to the method for basic aperture association described on the preceding page, except that a limited selection of apertures are searched for one having the corresponding size. [ alternate aperture] If a corresponding aperture is not found, an [alternate aperture] may be specified to search a limited number of apertures for an alternate aperture having the pen with the largest pen width available but not exceeding the pen width having the shape in error for input using the pen as many times as needed. Reference For details on searching for apertures and other laser functions, referto the online documentation. Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 8 - 39 4.

Not assigned An aperture is assigned automatically at this time on the basis of the aperture code format set in the NC format. Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 8 - 45 6. Using Varied NC Format Settings This section describes, by way of lessons, how NC data will vary following changes to the definition of the associated NC format. NC formats with varying definitions are available. Execute the photo output tool or drill output tool by referencing these NC formats, and check the resulting output data in comparison with the following reference NC data and the NC formats used at its output: PHOTO.phd: The NC format “photo1.ncf” with the photo machine name “PHOTO” is used. DRILL.drd: The NC format “drill1.ncf” with the drill machine name “DRILL” is used. In all the lessons, the output panel data base <PN> is “sample.pnl.” [Photo Output Tool] section Use [photo2.ncf] with the photo machine name [PHOTO2] if the character code has been changed (p8-51) Use [photo3.ncf] with the photo machine name [PHOTO3] if the EOB code or record format has been changed (p.8-56) Use [photo4.ncf] with the photo machine name [PHOTO4] if the block order has been changed (p.8-59) Use [photo5.ncf] with the photo machine name [PHOTO5] if the modal has been changed (p.8-62) [Drill Output Tool] section Use [drill2.ncf] with the drill machine name [DRILL2] if the tool code assignment has been changed (p.8-65) The lessons will focus on the above five examples. The following basic procedures are common for all of these lessons: 1. 2. 3. Check location changes made to the NC format. Execute the photo output tool or drill output tool. List the output NC data by executing the photo data check program (zphck) and the drill data check program (zdrck) to ensure that the output NC data conforms to the new definition of the NC format. 8 - 46 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 6. Using Varied NC Format Settings * Manufacturing rule library (MRDB) and manufacturing rule database (MRL) Chapter 8 has highlighted the creation of a manufacturing rule library (MRDB) to store manufacturing machine information by using Edit Manufacturing Rule from PCB Design/Manufacture Common Tool. You can also add and edit photo machine and drill machine names in the manufacturing rule database (MRL) corresponding with the panel database. (Manufacturing Rule Edit Tool) in the CAD File Manager with Board Use the Producer filter to edit the manufacturing rule database (MRL). Click Information added to a manufacturing rule library (MRDB) can also be utilized in creating another database, but information added to a manufacturing rule database (MRL), except for certain information, can only be used in operations, such as an MRC, that are performed on the panel library that it corresponds with. The manufacturing rule library (MRL) that corresponds with another panel library can be referenced temporarily when photo data or drill data output is executed. In this lesson, the manufacturing rule library [sample.mrl], is edited on the basis of the panel library [sample.pnl]. Since [sample2] and [sample] have been set up to meet the same set of manufacturing rules, the NC format and table information that have been introduced in the preceding lessons are used to output reference NC data.

Compare the output data file, [photo2.phd], with [PHOTO.phd] by executing the photo data check program <list mode> to collect their dump lists. Reference Refer to P6-37 “ Generating a list” for the photo data check program <list mode>. Since a dump list for [PHOTO.phd] has already been created as [PHOTO.txt] in page 8-49, we will only execute [photo2.txt] for now. C:\ zphck.exe photo2 -m list -p:mspec PHOTO2:sample Photo machine name specification List output specification -p:list_mode formated Output in a record length of 512 bytes -o photo2 Output destination dump list file name Now that dump lists of both photo data files are available, display them in separate WordPad windows or UNIX windows. Character code: EBCDIC Character code: ASCII [PHOTO.txt] [photo2.txt] Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 8 - 53 6. Using Varied NC Format Settings The dump lists of both photo data files are found to be completely identical despite the difference in their character code. Note Why use zphck? If you use the WordPad to view photo2.phd, you will end up seeing the following; Thus, data output in a character code other than ASCII would appear garbled on the screen if you use WordPad to view its listing. This is because the ZUKEN system is designed to represent characters in ASCII code. If a line feed code has not been output even though ASCII code has been specified, the resulting listing would be hard to read. Hence, the photo data check program “zphck <list mode>” is executed in the list mode to convert NC data originally generated in a specific code to ASCII to represent it in an easier to view list format. 8 - 54 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 6. Using Varied NC Format Settings 7. Compare the output list file, “photo2.phd”, with “photo1.ph1”. You have already checked it in the photo data, however, also check it in the list file.

Check the contents of the output list file, [drill2.drl]. If you are using Windows, check it with WordPad or other tools. As a result of “Auto tool assignment”, a tool selection code has been assigned automatically according to the “drill2.ncf” tool code format each time the output hole diameter changed. Compare this list with [drill.drl] output lists shown on page 8-65. With “Auto tool assignment, the same sequence of tool codes is repeated if the number of types of hole diameters exceeds the maximum (number of tools per pod) defined in the tool code format. T01 through T06 are repeated. 8 - 68 Chapter 8 Registering Manufacturing Machines 1. Photo Machine NCF This section introduces you to all of the definition items in the photo machine NCF. It begins by listing the definition items, then proceeds to describe each in detail. Reference Refer to P8-20 “ Block orders” For NCF block orders.

Photo Machine NCF Comment You can enter a comment of 80 characters or less for the NCF. The comment is written to the list that is output by the [Photo output tool]. If laser photo-specific information is to be output, in addition to normal photo data, specify the format type of that data. At present, only RS-274 (Gerber System Corporation) is supported. Extended Format Type Unit mm, inch, mil Record Format Specify the unit of output data. Determine the unit according to whether the manufacturing machine is a millimeter-, inch-, or mil-based (regardless of the unit set in the panel database <PNL>). Each instruction that drives a machine is called a block. A block is delimited by an end-of-block (EOB) code. Specify whether a record boundary is allowed within a block (instruction). If an * (asterisk) is specified as an EOB code Full Storage (Filling) A block fully spanning the record boundary Non-full storage Each block is terminated so as not to cross a record boundary, with one ETB code being placed to fill the vacant record positions (each having the Record Length specified below); vacant positions up to the record boundary are padded with pad codes. Reference EOB code, ETB code, and Pad code are defined in [Block orders]. Refer to P8-20 “ Block orders” for NCF block orders. Record Length Specify the byte length of data that the manufacturing machine can read at a time. Example If a value of [256] is specified: A-2 Appendix 1. Photo Machine NCF Character Code Specify the kind of code that is output as NC data or that can be read by the NC machine. ASCII EBCDIC EIA ISO ASCII + Even parity ASCII + Odd parity : : : : No parity (default) No parity Even parity Odd parity Coordinate Format Specify the number of integer digits, the presence or absence of a decimal point, and the number of fractional digits in the output coordinates. Rounding Unit If this item is not specified, coordinates are rounded at the decimal place next to the number of fractional digits specified in the Coordinate Format. With three integer digits and three fractional digits, for example, coordinates are rounded at the fourth decimal place. If you want coordinates rounded in any other way, specify a value between 0.00001 and 0.5. Example With three integer digits, a decimal point, and three fractional digits, if a value of 0.05 is specified for rounding, then, the value of 123.470 would be rounded to 123.450 (---123.400 123.450 123.500---). The value of 987.888 would be rounded to 987.900 (---987.800 987.850 987.900 987.950---). Appendix A-3 1. Photo Machine NCF Coordinate Representation Specify whether the coordinates that are output as NC data are represented in relation to the coordinate location of the preceding data (relative coordinate representation) or as absolute coordinates from the origin (absolute coordinate representation). Omit Coordinates Specify whether the value of an X-axis or Y-axis coordinate should be output when it is equal to the preceding coordinate value. Yes No (If the values of both the X-axis and Y-axis coordinates are equal to the preceding values, the entire MOVE or DRAW instruction is not output.) A-4 Appendix 1. Photo Machine NCF Zero Suppression Specifies how to suppress unnecessary zeros in a coordinate value. · 00nn.nn00 (Non-suppression) Zeros are not suppressed. Examples: 0007200 →0007200 0023.450→0023.450 · nn.nn00 (Leading zero suppression) The leading zeros in a coordinate value are suppressed. Examples: 0007200→7200 0023.450→23.450 · 00nn.nn (Trailing zero suppression) The trailing zeros in a coordinate value are suppressed. Examples: 0007200→00072 0023.450→0023.45 · nn.nn (Both-zero suppression) Both the leading and trailing zeros in a coordinate value are suppressed. (Note that the both-zero suppression is available only when “Decimal Point” is set to “Exist.”) Examples: 0023.450→23.45 · _nn.nn (Leading zero swap space) The leading zeros in a coordinate value are replaced with spaces. Examples: 0007200→__7200 0023.450→__23.450 · nn.nn_ (Trailing zero swap space) The trailing zeros in a coordinate value are replaced with spaces. Examples: 0007200→0072__ 0023.450→0023.45_ · _nn.nn_ (Both-zero swap space) Both leading and trailing zeros in a coordinate value are replaced with spaces. (This function works only where a decimal point is present.) Example: 0023.450→__23.45_ A coordinate value of 0 would follow the zero data format (Zero Form). ！ Caution The menu uses under bar ( _ ) instead of space to show it distinctly. Appendix A-5 1. Photo Machine NCF Zero Form Specify how a coordinate value of 0 is handled. Address and 0 (if a decimal point is present, address and 0.0) Address and as many 0's as All Digits Address Only Plus Code Specify how the coordinate data "+" is handled. + Space No Output Flash Shape Pads with the flash attribute attached to them by the pad shape editor are associated with flash D codes in the aperture table. However, click off the shape of a pad that is to be expanded into a stream or polygon, rather than a flash, even if it has the flash attribute attached to it. Round Rectangular Round Thermal Odd Doughnut Oblong Square Thermal Output as flash data Expand and output as stream data ！ Caution When performing parametric input for around, thermal, or square pad, the pad is output as polygon. A pad input as an area is output as a stream. A-6 Appendix 1. Photo Machine NCF Stream Mode Define how data that would normally be output as a stream, such as line data, is output. Normal Stream Stream including Width 0 Polygonal Outline Polygon with Width 0 in Stream Define how data that would normally be output as a stream fill, such as area data, is output. Expand as Stream Polygonal Outline Polygon with Cutout Polygon with Negative Cutout Outline output by LP parameter Fill with streams. Split the area in the cutout and output the outline as a polygon. Output the outline and cutout as a polygon with the pen width taken into account. Output the outline as a positive aperture and the cutout as a negative aperture. Output the data by using %LPD% and %LCP%, which is parameter of RS274X. Polygon Mode Arc Output Mode Specify the method of interpolating arcs. Full Circle 1/2 1/4 Minor Segment Appendix A-7 1. Photo Machine NCF Arc Center Representation Arcs and circles are represented by their start point, center point, and end point or by their start and end points and radius. Define how the center point coordinates are represented. ！ Caution If [Incremental Absolute Coordinates] has been specified for Arc Center Representation, specify 1/4 for Arc Output Mode. Arc Length for Correction This is reference value for adjusting minute arc and almost-full circle, which cause output error in photo output. Range of value : 0.0 to 20000.0 Caution : This section is valid when Arc Output Mode is set to [Full Circle], [1/2], and [1/4]. Straight line for minute arc When minute arc is shorter than specified value, the Photo tool will output arc using straight line. (However, the tool will not straighten arc when Output Mode is set to Full-circle.) Dividing almost-full circle arc This process is valid when Output Mode is set to [Full Circle]. The Photo tool will divide almost-full circle into two sections when the following conditions are met: 1. An angle of the arc is equal to or more than 270 degrees and less than 360 degrees. 2. Length of the arc is shorter than the value specified for [Arc Length Correction]. A-8 Appendix 1. Photo Machine NCF Segment Resolution Specify the tolerance for interpolating arcs in the Minor-Segment Arc Output mode. Range: Positive real number Caution: If the tolerance is extremely large in relation to the radius of the arc, the arc is split at a maximum angle of 45 degrees. Fill Overlap Set the stream overlap value or teardrop fill overlap value for filling area data with streams or for filling line data with alternate apertures. ！ Caution Theoretically, the rounding unit for coordinates may be used as an overlap value. Allowing for mechanical positioning accuracy or laser photo raster accuracy, however, a value about 10 times the rounding unit for coordinates is recommended. If an area fill pen width is too small to meet this overlap value, an overlap of 0 is output (in which case a warning is issued). Shutter Status during Tool Exchange Set the shutter status following an aperture change in the middle of a line. Independent of Tool Selection Open Shutter Close Shutter Appendix A-9 1.
