Introduction
SIPLACE Pro is a programming system for SIPLACE placement machines. SIPLACE Pro is a Windows-
based application.
SIPLACE Pro uses a database (Microsoft SQL Server) to store the customer data. All Clients (e.g. SIPLACE
Pro Desk) communicate with the database via SIPLACE Pro Server. The SIPLACE Pro API (Application
Programming Interface) enables access to database objects via COM and NET interfaces.
SIPLACE Pro 5.0 version supports any machines of platform I, II and platform II+ . Platform II+ machines
consist of the SIPLACE X series plus the SIPLACE D series machines. You find a more detailed overview of
the machines and the respective station software in Appendix C: Platform – Station Software – Machine.

2.1.3 Increased Machine Performance due to Reduced Board Clamping during Transport
In SIPLACE Pro 5.0 you can edit in the line editor the transport space from 0 – 40 mm. This means the
board is transported as soon as the transport space has entered the reached value.
For stations with station software 40x/50x the default value is 40 mm. For stations with station software 601 –
603 the default vaules are 40 mm or 20 mm.

2.3.1 Identical Nozzlee Configuration for C&P Heads for all Recipes in a Job
In SIPLACE Pro 5.0 there is a new option (Generate identical C&P head nozzle configuration for all recipes)
in the optimizer parameters. This option enables the same nozzle configuration (fixed setup) on the C&P
heads for all recipes of a job. This configuration avoids a nozzle change if several recipes have to be placed
in a job.
Note:
This function is also valid for the special segments required for 01005 placement of the D
series. The segments do not have to be changed for every recipe.

To activate this SOKO, the following steps are necessary in SIPLACE Pro:
1. In the station editor for each station with software version 407, activate the checkbox “Supports
Traceability SOKO 407.”
2. For each component that should be traced, open the appropriate component and activate the
checkboxes for “Validate” and then also for “Trace”.
3. Verify that each Component and associated Component Shape has a Feeder pitch for each feeder
in the list.
On the station, Traceability should already be activated with the appropriate CD. Log in as Administrator and
make the following changes:
1. Configure the share for the folder C:\SRDaten. To do this,
a. right click on the folder and choose Sharing and Security.
b. Select the radio-button “Share this folder” and note that the name “SRDaten” is automatically
entered in the field. This is correct.
2. Now click on the button “Permissions” and verify that “everyone” has “Full Control”. If this isn’t the
case, change the permissions for “Everyone”.

Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
3. Return to the Permissions window and switch to the Security tab. Choose Advanced. In the new
window that opens make sure the checkbox “Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply
to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here” is selected.
After the station has rebooted, you can perfom a download. The Traceability data is saved in the folder
C:\SRDaten\SrcMa to a file called TraceBE.dat. This file is read automatically when you choose to configure
the Trace parameters via the station software.

4 Requirements
SIPLACE Pro 5.0 is usable on a standard PC with Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 Server (optional with
SP1) and optionally with a Multilanguage Pack. The requirements are for SIPLACE Pro software only.
You find more details about recommended norms and standards in Appendix A: Norms and Standards.
Note:
SIPLACE Pro requires an NTFS partition to be installed on. FAT or FAT32 file systems are not
supported.
Note:
Windows Server 2000/W2K is not longer supported. This means that SIPLACE Pro is not
compatible to Windows 2000/W2K. Therefore please make sure that you upgrade your Windows
Server 2000/W2K system to Windows 2003/Windows SP.
Note:
SIPLACE Pro requires Microsoft ®.NET Framework 1.1, 1.1 SP1 and 2.0. If the setup program
does not find the Microsoft ®.NET Framework 2.0, the user is asked to install the framework
right from the product CD. If you decide to use the .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 or 2.0, you should
carefully test other applications on your computer for compatibility with this version of the
Framework.

Note:
The XML Import/Export feature is limited to a file size of 50 MB (this corresponds
approximately to an optimized job with 7 boards with 1500 placement positions for the top
and the bottom). But this limit is already exceeded with a central memory of 512 MB. For
this reason we recommend to increase the central memory of the SIPLACE Pro Client
System to 1 GB when using XML ImportExport.
Note:
Make sure that all dialogs and editors are completely readable and displayed on the
screen by using “small fonts” (Settings –> Control Panel –> Display –> Appearance -
Advanced –> Small Fonts).
Note:
SIPLACE Pro requires Microsoft ®.NET Framework 1.1 SP1 and 2.0. If the setup
program does not find the Microsoft ®.NET Framework 2.0, the user is asked to install

5 Limitations
In this section, we discuss system limitations. We will list all restricted features.
Note:
On Windows 2003 Server users without administration rights cannot use the bug report, as
long as they are not assigned to the local user group "Performance Counter Users".
5.1 Restrictions
• Complete LCU import of customer data may occur slowly (up to several hours), depending on the amount
of data.
• Linear 10 and 15 reserves cannot be combined on the same Linear Feeder Module.
• When using bitmaps for boards to verify component placements and rotations, limit the size of the image
file to 10 MBs for best performance; larger file sizes may significantly degrade system performance.
• When importing setup files (.rt files) from the line computer, you can not import more than one Tray per
Carrier (Level). In case you import more than one Tray per Carrier (Level), you have to create them
manually in SIPLACE Pro.
• In a multi-client scenario, when different users optimize the same job at the same time, the last Job to
finish will overwrite the other new Setups.
• The operator has to put Manual Tray Carriers (Carrier 30, Carrier 51, Carrier X) manually in the initial
setup.
• If you work with a reduced acceleration for a component shape you have a special case and the accuracy
of 5% of the simulated optimizer production time is not kept.
• The optimizer does not check if the tray size is bigger than the carrier.
• The WPC can take up to 10 different components types per level.
32- 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
5.2.1 Installation
• When configuring a SIPLACE Pro machine, do not assign SIPLACEPro as computer name (case
insensitive).
Note:
If the machine name is already "SIPLACEPro" and during upgrade the system encounters the
problem with number of users connected (when no other users are connected), then rename
the machine or stop the SQL-Sever-Agent, perform the install, and, if necessary, restart the
SQL-Sever-Agent.
• To re-start the SQL-Server-Agent after installation, repeat the steps above except for step 4: Choose
Start rather than Stop.
Caution:
If the user does not correct the nozzle mismatch problem at the machine (as opposed to the
programming system), but instead switches the operating mode of the machine from SIPLACE
Pro to Stand Alone, then the machine will not accept any further downloads. In this case, the
machine has to be rebooted. This issue applies mainly to the HS-50, but may appear on other
Placement Systems as well.
33 - 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
1. The Line Computer forces you to select a specific Recipe and the created restriction is based on this
Recipe only. In SIPLACE Pro, you are free to use every Restriction with any Recipe in any Job.
The Line Computer cannot identify to which Recipe the Restriction belongs to and therefore the Line
Computer doesn't know where to save the restriction.
2. On the Line Computer, within each Restriction (i.e. for each Recipe), you bind specific Components
or Component Shapes with their Feeders to or exclude them from specific Tables or Machines. It
isn't possible to assign a Component or Component Shape without its Feeder because it’s part of the
data set.
In SIPLACE Pro, you restrict three specific objects (Feeders, Components and Component
Shapes) to or from Machines or Machine Sides. Here, the feeder is missing in the restriction.
The only Restrictions that can be exported from SIPLACE Pro are the Transport side (right or left) and the
Feeder as they are assigned to specific Components or Component Shapes. In SIPLACE Pro, this is the
work-around:
1. Create a Restriction for all relevant Components and Component Shapes you wish to restrict.
2. Open each of the Components and Component Shapes and determine which feeders are assigned
as default if not already available.
3. Back in the Restriction editor, add a new line for each of the default feeders. Please assign the
Feeder (target [station], right or left transport side [conveyer lane]).
Result: You should now have one line for each Component or Component Shape and another line
for each feeder, with all of those Objects assigned.
All entries are immediately saved in the database.
Note:
Make sure that you choose for all objects (Component, Component Shape, Feeder) the same
targets and sub targets.
Note:
You could only export the right or left machine side (conveyor lane) if you have selected „All“,
„Left“ or „Right“.
5. In the rest of the Line Computer Export, choose the Components and Component Shapes you want
added to the .ri file.
Note:
Be sure to check the box marked "Update feeder information." If you don't check the box
or select these Components and Component Shapes, then their information will not be added
to the .ri file make sure that you choose for all objects (Component, Component Shape,
Feeder) the same targets and sub targets.
6. When the export is complete, the result is shown in the notification window.
34- 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
5.2.5 Miscellaneous
• From SIPLACE Pro 2.0 onwards there is no body offset (x, y) in the component shape description. With
the body offset in former versions you could move the basic body of the component shape.
Following restrictions should be considered:
o Station software ≥ 504
All databases from SIPLACE Pro 1.4.x.x are adapted to SIPLACE Pro 3.0. The body offset
is automatically considered in the pickup point.
o Station software ≤ 504
Stations with this station software do not support any pickup point. Setups with component
shapes that are described in SIPLACE Pro 1.4.x.x with a body offset have to be adapted
manually to SIPLACE Pro 3.0.
• If a user modifies a Component Package's values after assigning it to a Component, then these values
will not be updated for the Component.
Workaround: Re-assign the Component Package to the Component after modifying Component
Package values.
• In previous SIPLACE Pro versions, the optimizer generated a placement sequence without regard for the
z-axis of tower feeders, e.g. WPC and MTC. Starting with SIPLACE Pro 3.2, all tower feeders are
automatically optimized so that the travel paths in the z-direction are reduced to a minimum. This is
intended to extend the lifetime of these z-axes.
• Please note that the feature “Support of SOKO/special design construction for Traceability 407” has only
been implemented in SIPLACE Pro 3.2 SP1, SIPLACE Pro 4.1SP1 and SIPLACE Pro 5.0.

Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
5.3 Troubleshooting
With SIPLACE Pro 5.0 the SPOT files that are created by the optimizer are saved in the default folder “Spot”
or in a user specific folder. For more details please refer to the online help.
The new Error Reporting Tool collects all available SPOT files. In addition to the Error Reporting Tool the
user can also create individual SPOT files of certain actions. As default a SPOT file will be created.
36- 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
Use the online and context-sensitive help functions to obtain a detailed explanation of the SPOT file.
Note:
Users logged on as operator (without Administrative Rights) cannot write into a folder below
"C:\Program Files" using Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003/Windows XP.
Workaround: The user can type in or copy and paste a valid path in front of the Spot file
name. The path and name will be saved to the database.
37 - 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
Online help (call by clicking the Help button in the dialog box described above):
In rare cases it is possible that parts of the system are only installed when a specific feature (e.g. reporting)
is used for the first time after the installation. If the SetupCD is available in the drive from where the software
has been installed, this post-installation is automatically performed.
If the SetupCD is not in the drive (what is most likely the case), invocation of that feature will fail and produce
error messages like "could not load DLL" or even more cryptic like in the screen shot.
38- 72
Software Version Description Programming System SIPLACE Pro
If you experience such messages after installation, please check in the Event Log to see if the error message
is in fact caused by a failed post-installation. Please follow these steps to do this:
1. To open the Event Viewer, go to StartMenu->Run, enter "eventvwr" and click OK.
2. Select "Application Log". All logged application events will be displayed. The latest is at the top of
the list.
3. Check for entries of type "Error" from Source "MsiInstaller" at the correct time.
If you find such entries with a timestamp matching the time when you received the error, it is likely
that a post-installation has been invoked and failed due to the missing SetupCD.
If no such entries are found in the eventlog, the error message has another unknown reason.
If the above check had a positive result (point 3 above), the problem can be solved by
1. inserting the SetupCD in the drive from where you installed the software. If you installed from a
network drive, be sure that you use the same share with the same drive letter. If the installation
program starts automatically, please cancel.
2. retrying to invoke the feature which just failed. As soon as the post-installation has been performed
(with or without user feedback), the feature should start as expected. If it doesn't, the error message
has another unknown reason.

6 Notes
In this section, we provide information to enhance user productivity by ensuring
• SIPLACE Pro features are used correctly the first time and
• Users spend less time engaging in known courses of action that render inappropriate
results.
Note:
Any time a new database is created, it is necessary to import the master data:
In SIPLACE Pro desk go to Tools -->Import -->XML Import Wizard... or go to Tools-->Import
--> Component Shape Library...
Note:
SIPLACE Pro requires an NTFS partition to be installed on. FAT or FAT32 file systems are not
supported. The installation of SIPLACE Pro on FAT partitions is interrupted by the setup
program.
Note:
SIPLACE Pro object names (e.g., Recipe) must not exceed 125 ASCII characters (including
folder names). If the station being downloaded to has station software 504 or lower, then the
name will be truncated to 20 ASCII characters.

6.2 Nozzles
→ The parameters for the corresponding 9xx nozzle are used as a template for the customer
nozzle.
Note:
It is important to ensure that the value for the parameter " non-cubic Vacuum " for the 9xx
nozzle is taken as the value for the " Cubic Vacuum " parameter of the new 5xx nozzle.
6.2.2 Meaning of the nozzle parameters and recommended values for the 9xx nozzles as
5xx nozzles on the Twin Head
• Nozzle Length (Nominal Length):
The nominal Z axis positions for pickup and placement are calculated using the specified nozzle
length.
A length value which is too high leads to a loss of placement performance while the automatic Z
height correction function of the machine compensates for the discrepancy.
Too low a value means that the Z axis makes contact at too high a speed with the component
during pickup and with the board during placement.
The nozzle length is calculated by adding the length of the nozzle adapter (without 9xx nozzle
seating) of 9.5 mm to the length of the 9xx nozzle. The total length to be entered corresponds to the
distance between the tip of the nozzle and the outer face of the adapter (without Twin Head
adapter).

Note:
Station Software 504 supports surftape feeder for the revolver heads but not for the TwinHead.
In case of fixed setups the user must know that he/she has to set up the surftape feeder on
the revolver head side.
In case of optimized setups the user should / must ensure that the surftape feeder won't be
used by the Twin Head by configuring the nozzles accordingly.
Therefore, the user must not assign Twin Head nozzles to component shapes already
assigned to a surftape feeder.
With Station Software 505 the surftape feeder will be available even for the TwinHead.
