Inspection, ATE TEST, Selective Soldering, etc. software modules have been
enhanced to better program this equipment. Enhancements have been added to
make it easier to create assembly process documents, kitting labels, 1st article
inspection, etc. If you wish the QUICK-START manuals located in the
c:\program files\unisoft directory can walk you through the Unisoft software
using a sample PC Board provided or contact Unisoft for free
training.
SMART COLOR INSPECTION
The Smart Color inspection feature has been enhanced and allows quick inspection by blinking by part numbers and checking off the inspected components on the top, bottom or both surfaces.
BOM import into Sequence field
You can now import the Sequence field from your BOM or other file into the Unisoft software. The Sequence field is a number that is used normally to indicate the order of insertion on electronics components that a being inserted using the aid of a manual insertion assembly machine such as the Contact Systems CS400 series.
TO
USE:
Use the standard BOM importing window in the Unisoft software and indicate to
the right of the Sequence field the number of the field in which Sequence data
is located in the BOM or other file you are importing.
Edit multiple assembly step numbers and text
Change multiple assembly operation step numbers and operation text.
TO USE: To change multiple assembly operation step numbers and/or the operation text open the Smart Color window by clicking ASSEMBLY SHEETS/1ST ARTICLE at the top of the display. Next select OPEN SMART COLOR OPERATIONS and the Smart Color window is displayed at the bottom. Select the multiple rows you wish to change by using the standard Windows method of either CTRL select or SHIFT select and a blue arrow to the left of the Part Number field will indicate the selected part number rows.
Next while over one of the selected rows
right click the mouse and in the new window displayed change the assembly
operation STEP number and/or the OPERATION text and click OK and the Smart Color
window is updated.
LABELS Toggle
PC board component labels of various types can be displayed. This information is displayed under the component reference designator. You can display information such as part number, device type, pins, assembly instruction and step number, BOM information, etc. To use this feature click the LABELS icon at the top of the display.
BOM-only Importing
Now you can import all types of Bill of Material (BOM) formats without importing CAD or Gerber component data. The BOM-only data can then be exported to normalized standard BOM formats that can then be utilized by your other manufacturing software systems such as Part Sourcing, MRP, ERP, etc.
TO USE: Import a BOM file into the Unisoft without first importing a CAD file. The following window is displayed.
Click YES and the BOM is imported.
This BOM data can now be exported to normalized standard BOM formats by clicking
TOOLS from the main menu then click "Export Standard BOM file".
Export standardized BOM files to Part Sourcing, MRP and ERP software
All types of Bill of Material (BOM) formats can be imported into the Unisoft software and then exported to normalized standard BOM formats that can then be utilized by your other manufacturing software systems such as Part Sourcing, MRP, ERP, etc.
TO USE "EXPORT STANDARD BOM FILE": After you have imported your BOM file from the Unisoft software click QUOTE/QUALITY from the main menu then select "Export Standard BOM file…" and choose the BOM format you wish to export.
Importing Your X/Y Center, Rotation Files
Importing your X/Y Center, Rotation files is easy with the Unisoft software! The enhanced "X/Y CENTER, ROTATION IMPORTING" feature allows you to setup a new format importer in seconds and save it for future use!
TO USE "X/Y
CENTER, ROTATION IMPORTING":
Please note that it is always preferable to use the full CAD files and not a
XY Center, Rotation file as your first choice for importing into the Unisoft
software. A list of the CAD file formats you can import are on our website at
http://www.unisoft-cim.com/importers.htm .
Start the
Unisoft software and click FILE from the Main Menu and click "IMPORT XY ROTATION
FILE" and a window "CHOOSE XYR DESCRIPTION" similar to the following is
displayed.
To import a X/Y Center, Rotation file for a file format that you have previously setup go to the window "CHOOSE XYR DESCRIPTION" displayed and select the importer (for example: ABC Electronics) from the list displayed then click IMPORT TOP or IMPORT BOTTOM then select the X/Y Center, Rotation file to be imported and click OPEN and your file will be imported. After the XY Center, Rotation file is imported into the Unisoft software a dot on the display represents each component. Next using the Measurement Tool do a general check that the distance between a few components is correct. If the measurement is off then this is usually an indication that the UNITS field (inches, mils or mm) chosen was incorrect, please correct the Units and re-import. Although it is not necessary if you wish you can import the silkscreen Gerber layer to add more detail on the display. This is done by clicking GERBER CONNECTION on the main menu then clicking ADD LAYER and selecting your silk screen gerber file. At this point most customers import their Bill Of Materials (BOM) into the Unisoft software to assign the correct part numbers to each component. You are now ready to Output files to program your Assembly and AOI machines as usual.
To create a new X/Y Center, Rotation importer for a new file format click NEW from the "CHOOSE XYR DESCRIPTION" window and the following window will be displayed.
You can now fill-in this window to import your new X/Y Center, Rotation file format. Basically you gave the importer a name in the COMPANY field and then put numbers in the fields to represent where the items are located in the file you are importing. For example if the rotation for the component is located in the 5th field in the file you are importing then insert 5 in the ROT field. Next tell the importer the units being imported in the XYUNITS field and then SAVE the new importer.
For our example
we will use the following sample X/Y Center, Rotation file:
R19
-5.375 -0.95 180
R20
-5.5 -1.225 270
R22
-5.5 -0.95 90
R23
-4.625 -1.225 0
R24
-4.625 -0.95 180
R25
-4.75 -1.225 0
In the window
below to import the X/Y Center, Rotation file sample above we have set the name
of the importer in the COMPANY field to "XYZ Electronics - X/Y Center, Rotation
importer" and for the part number there is none in the file we are importing so
we will skip the PARTNO field. The component reference designator is in the 1st
field in the file to be imported so to the right of the REFDES field we have
typed 1 . Next to the XLOC field we have typed 2 and for YLOC we typed 3 and
for ROT it is 4. The units in the file are inches so in the field XYUNITS we
typed inches . We then clicked SAVE to save the importing script. This script
is now available to import the sample X/Y Center, Rotation file above.
Requirements for
the XY Center, Rotation file you are importing:
- The
minimum data fields your XY Center, Rotation file must have is RefDes, Xloc,
Yloc and Rot (the PartNo field is optional).
- The
deliminator between fields in the file being imported can be either TAB
delimited, single space delimited or multiple space delimited.
- The
component rotations in the file being imported must be number. Allowed format
examples: 180.0, 180
- The
acceptable units for the XYunits field is inches, mils or mm (use lower case)
.
Include/Exclude part number Operations
The INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PART NUMBER OPERATIONS window allows you to exclude any part number Operations that you do not wish to be included in your machine output file.
TO USE THE "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PART NUMBER OPERATIONS" FEATURE: This window will automatically be displayed when generating assembly machine output files.
Units displayed in inches and millimeters
The PC board units are displayed in both inches and millimeters. For example the figures below show units in inches and millimeters when using the Measurement and the Information tool.
Assembly Cost Estimation Report for Quoting
Creating your Assembly Cost Report is now more flexible. You can create as many
Assembly Cost templates has you wish, for example one each for either a Low,
Medium or High volume build. To see examples of these from the main menu of the
software click TOOLS then ASSEMBLY COST.
The purpose of the report is to aid in estimating the cost to assemble the
components to the PC Board. The user sets up the templates so the report will
include machine and labor costs to place the component parts and the up charge
for each Part Number. You then import your PC Board into the Unisoft software
and you instantly receive a report containing component counts for top and
bottom of the PC Board broken down by SMT, Fine pitch, BGA’s, Thru-hole, etc.
with the cost for each group. This is a great quoting time saver for Contract
and OEM manufacturers.
An example of a few lines of a Report follows:
PC Board: SAMPLE
Date: 10-22-09
Estimated base build price total = $219.95
Device assembly total cost = $118.80
Part number total cost = $101.15
----
SMT 2 pins greater than 0402 package type: Greater than .040 inch distance
between pin 1 and 2.
Top - 4 = total device count, 8 = total pin count
Bottom - 78 = total device count, 156 = total pin count
Part #'s - 8 = total part numbers
Base price: $73.23 = (0.08 * device count) + (8.33 * part #'s)
SMT 8 pins and greater and 30 mils or less pin spacing (fine pitch):
Top - 3 = total device count, 144 = total pin count
Bottom - 0 = total device count, 0 = total pin count
Part #'s - 3 = total part numbers
BGA's - 0 = included in above count.
Base price: $25.36 = (0.12 * device count) + (8.33 * part #'s) + (0.18 *
BGA count)
TO USE THE "ASSEMBLY COST" FEATURE: Start the Unisoft software and import your CAD and BOM files as usual then from the main menu click TOOLS then click ASSEMBLY COST and a new window similar to the following is displayed.
To display
an Assembly Cost Report from a template that you have previously setup go to the
window displayed and simply select the template (for example: Low Volume 5-50
pieces - $5.00 per p/n) from the list displayed then click COST and the report
is displayed. Click OK to close the report.
To create a new
template click NEW and the following window will be displayed.
You can now input
into this new template. In the window below we have set the name of the template
"High Volume 1001-2000 pieces" and we have filled in the costs for the various
groups. When the template is complete click SAVE. This template is now
available to create a report.
Printing Assembling Process Documents
The Assembly Process Document printing feature as been enhanced with two options - SINGLE PAGE EACH STEP or SEPARATE PAGES EACH STEP.
The procedure is
PRINT ASSEMBLY SHEETS AND MATCHING LOAD LISTS FOR EACH PROCESS
STEP:
The assembly
instructions for this PC Board are now complete. For this PC Board we have
previously added 5 process STEPS. To Print Assembly Sheets and matching
Assembly Load Lists for each process step in the window at the bottom of the
display click the button PRINT ASSEMBLY DOCS .
The following window is displayed!
There are two options for printing Assembly Documents. The first option is SINGLE PAGE EACH STEP which results in a document that looks like the one below where each Step in the assembly process is printed on one sheet for each side of the PC Board assembly. Note in the figure below that the load list of the components to be inserted at that step are listed by part number at the top of the same sheet with the PC Board assembly under it and on the PC Board the components to be insert at this step are colored with matching colors to the load list above it.
To print this drawing below in the window above under PRINT select SINGLE PAGE EACH STEP and under STEPS click SELECT ALL STEPS. Next click OK and select the printer or PDF file you wish to print to and Click OK and the document will be printed.
The second option for printing assembly documents is SEPARATE PAGES EACH STEP which results in a document that looks like the two figures below. Each Step in the assembly process is printed on two sheets for each side of the PC Board assembly. Note in the two figures below that the load list of the components to be inserted is on its own sheet and the PC Board assembly drawing is also on its own sheet. The load list and PC Board assembly drawings have color matching components to be inserted at this step.
Note in the two drawings above that in the second drawing which is Assembly Sheet #1 of 5, CR1 to CR32 are colored green. Also printed are the 3 .F2P annotation overlays selected earlier for step 1 including “Hand insert all diodes that are this color…”, “insert J1 custom bend connector…”, and the legend box “ABC Electronics…”. In the first drawing which is the matching Assembly Load List Sheet #1 of 5, the third item is part number 385-848-05-6 which are components CR1-CR32 and for this item we have included automatically the part number, the operation text “hand insert diodes”, the quantity of 32, the device type THD, the component part number color of green, and optionally additional Bill Of Material (BOM) information of tolerance/package/description, and top side reference designate or listings of CR1 through CR32.
To print the drawings above at the bottom center of the main display click the button PRINT ASSEMBLY DOCS and the window below appears. Under PRINT select SEPARATE PAGES EACH STEP and then put a check mark in all the 6 boxes located under SEPARATE PAGES EACH STEP. Next under STEPS click SELECT ALL STEPS. Then click OK and select the printer or PDF file you wish to print to and Click OK and the document will be printed.
Importing Your BOM Files
Importing your Bill Of Materials (BOM) files is easy with the Unisoft software! The enhanced "BOM IMPORTING" feature allows you to setup a new BOM format importer in seconds and save it for future use!
TO USE "BOM IMPORTING": Start the Unisoft software and import your CAD file as usual then click FILE from the Main Menu and click IMPORT BOM FILE and a window similar to the following is displayed.
To import a BOM
file for a BOM format that you have previously setup go to the window displayed
and simply select the importer (for example: Company C) from the list displayed
then click IMPORT then select the BOM file to be imported and click OPEN and
your BOM will be imported.
To create a new BOM Importer for a new BOM format click NEW and the following window will be displayed.
You can now set up this window to import your new BOM format. Please note that this Automatic method is for importing standard tab delimited file formats. To import BOM's in column delimited formats use the Manual method detailed below. Unisoft recommends BOM's be in a tab delimited format.
For our example we will use the sample tab delimited bom file below.
Sample tab
delimited BOM:
FND Part Number Qty Tol Description
Reference Package
Operation
2 390607-01-0
1 0,0 I/O CONTROLLER U9
PLCC44 MYDATA AUTO INSERT
The minimum
requirements for importing a BOM file into the Unisoft software are the
reference designator and part number fields. In the window below to import the
BOM sample above we have set the name of the importer to "Company D" and for the
reference designator tab field we have indicated it is located in tab field # 6.
We have define the sixth tab field in the sample BOM above as where the
reference designator is located and in this case it is U9 (Note that if the
reference designator field in the BOM contained U9-U12 the software would
automatically break it up into U9, U10, U11 & U12).
For the part number field we have indicated that it is in tab field # 2.
FND Part Number
Qty Tol Description
Reference Package
Operation
2 390607-01-0
1 0,0 I/O CONTROLLER U9
PLCC44 MYDATA AUTO INSERT
To finish off the BOM importing script in the window below we have added the following optional fields: First we added QUANITY as tab field # 3. Then there are 4 USER fields (USER1-USER4) to import additional BOM data if you wish. We are importing the TOL field from the BOM file into USER1 by setting it to tab field 4. We are then importing PACKAGE into User2 by setting it to tab field 7 and DESCRIPTION to USER3 = 5 and OPERATION to USER4 = 8. In the window under USER FIELD NAMES for USER1-USER4 we added the text label we wish to be associated with those fields and we have used TOL, PACKAGE, DESCRIPTION and OPERATION respectively.
Click SAVE to save the BOM importing script "Company D". This script is now available to import your Bill Of Material.

CREATING THE COMPONENT PART COST REPORT:
To
generate the Component Part Cost Report you first need to add the price per part
to the .OPR file. The OPR file is a simple text file which has the file
extension .OPR . The .OPR file is tab delimited and contains three fields: Part
Number, Operation Text and Part Cost. The first field of the .OPR file must
contain the Part Number. The second field must have a tab inserted and it can
optionally contain Operation text for the part number (Example: HAND INSERT
SOCKET PRE-WAVE). The component part cost needs to be added to the third
field. In the example .OPR file below there are three part numbers with a part
cost of $0.23, $0.45 and $0.16 respectively.
EXAMPLE OF A .OPR
FILE:
381200-40-1
HAND INSERT CONNECTOR
0.23
385848-05-6 HAND INSERT - DIODE
0.45
386754-99-4
HAND INSERT PRE-WAVE - CONNECTOR 0.16
A sample of a .OPR
file is located on your PC in the directory c:\program files\unisoft under
the file name sample.opr .
After you have edited the .OPR file with the part costs, open the desired PC Board with the Unisoft software. Next click EDIT then BOM then IMPORT PN/OPERATION and a new window will appear. In the window point to and select the .OPR file you have created and then click OPEN. Next to generate the Component Part Cost Report click TOOLS from the Main then click PARTS COST and the report appears.
Importing X Y Rotation (XYR) Files
An X Y Rotation (XYR) file is any file containing component X Y center and rotation information. This type of file in a wide variety of formats can be imported into the Unisoft software and is useful in creating Assembly and AOI machine programs.
Our customers may find a file with similar data to that found in the XYR in their project CAD and BOM data folder.
For example it may look something like the following:
391121-10-9 R19 -5.375 -0.95
180
391727-10-9 R20 -5.5 -1.225
270
391000-10-9 R22 -5.5 -0.95
90
391111-10-9 R23 -4.625 -1.225 0
391243-10-9 R24 -4.625 -0.95
180
391120-10-9 R25 -4.75 -1.225 0
You can then use that file to import into the Unisoft software. Please note that it is always preferable to use the full CAD files, and not a XYR file, as your first choice for importing into the Unisoft software. For more details on importing X Y Rotation files please see file xyr_file_importing_specification.txt in directory c:\program files\unisoft .
