Patent number: 10874041Abstract: A power supply control device that controls consumption currents that are supplied from power supply devices in a component supply device in which multiple tape feeders are replaceably installed, the device including: a total consumption current measuring section that obtains, based on measurement, a total consumption current by adding actual consumption currents which are supplied to a plurality of tape feeders; and an overcurrent protection section that causes a specific tape feeder, which is in an operation state, to transition to a stop state or a standby state, in a case of an overcurrent state where the total consumption current exceeds an output current capacity of the power supply device. Accordingly, even though the overcurrent state occurs during setup changing work in which the multiple tape feeders can operate, the overcurrent state is rapidly canceled, and thus a protecting function is improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2015Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuya Matsuyama, Yoshiyuki Fukaya, Hisato Sawanami
