Hi smtnet forum. I've made this thread, cause I'm struggling with programming old Topaz and Emerald machines. So, I'm here to ask you, do you have any idea how to write VIOS program offline for Phllips SMT machines using computer only? At this momen

The program reads the Altium PCB directly and does some preprocessing, like centreing DPAK's etc. The ordering of components can be sorted by Designator. Top, bottom, SMT only components can be selected. There are 2 variation on VIOS :- JH_YM100_VIOS

In the VIOS file between lines &B.MNT and &B.OPT you will find the index number (in hexadecimal, four digits just in front of the reference designator in each line) into the component and feeder table. The feeder table entries are designated with &F

Lasse: Rich beat me to it! His steps are the correct ones. You first need to put your CAD-data into a column file and then use CAD2CAD to import, process and export it as VIOStxt. Greetings Base

Please let me know your email id so that I can send you sample outputs of PROCAM in I-Pulse and Yamaha VIOS Text formats.

Hi Mabdalla, You need to have software to read those files( AMS or PPS from Assembleon). If you are using Phillips and/or Assembleon machines, you should have those software. Best Regards,

But how ? single PCBs can only be exported (UFOS or TXT) or you can do a whole backup (together with the machine settings) - there are no individual files that you can rip from the machine :(

Hello. I would like to give some advice, I hope it will be useful. I recommend that you use the .ygx file format to work correctly with P-Tool. After all necessary manipulations, convert, if necessary, back to VIOS.

Use my program PCBSynergy https://pcbsynergy.com It has VIOS geneartion in it pretty much identical to the files that CAD2CAD generates. sarason

We are using a Comet chipshooter complemented by an Emerald for more complex parts. Both are old but true workhorses, for our small batches are more than enough. There is one annoying thing with the Comet and the 2 tables method when it comes to fidu
