  • Publication number: 20170346595
    Abstract: In an electronic component mounting device, a first multiplexing device of a head section which is attachable to and detachable from a Y-axis slider is connected to a second multiplexing device through an electric communication cable. The first multiplexing device, from which the cable is likely to be removed, is connected through the electric communication cable for which the communication failure due to dust or the like is relatively unlikely to occur. Second and third multiplexing devices, from which cables are less likely to be removed, are connected through the optical communication cable. The second multiplexing device separates data directed to the input and output device, among frame data received from the third multiplexing device, multiplexes only data directed to the first multiplexing device from the second multiplexing device, and transfers the multiplexed data to the first multiplexing device by the electric communication cable.
