如何实现PADS导出区分顶层和底层元器件的BOM

导出BOM是硬件工程师在设计PCB时必备的一项任务。通常情况下，导出的BOM中并没有区分顶层和底层的元器件，但是有时候我们需要对这两者进行分开，以便更好地进行统计和管理。

本文将介绍如何通过编写PADS的BOM的导出脚本代码实现这个功能。

首先，我们需要了解脚本中的原理。在PADS导出BOM的脚本中，一般会读取元器件的相关信息，如元器件编号、名称、数量等。我们需要在脚本中增加元器件层信息的读取，以及在整理元器件时对层信息进行判断，从而实现元器件分顶层和底层的归类统计。

编写以下代码:

代参考代码：

Const Columns = Array("Item","Description","Value","PCB Decal","Ref","OPTION","Quantity","layer")

'Array of column alignment: 0 - Align Left, 1 - Align Right, 2 - Align Center.

Const Align= Array(0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

Dim fname As String

Sub Main

fname = ActiveDocument

If fname = "" Then

fname = "Untitled"

End If

tempFile = DefaultFilePath & " emp.txt"

Open tempFile For Output As #1

StatusBarText = "Generating report..."

'Output table header

For i = 0 To UBound(Columns)

OutCell Columns(i)

Next

Print #1

Dim part_Count As Integer

part_Count = 0

For Each part In ActiveDocument.Components

If part.Pins.Count > 1 Then

part_Count = part_Count + 1

End If

Next part

ReDim Parts(part_Count, 14) As String

For Each part In ActiveDocument.Components

If part.Pins.Count > 1 Then

For intJ = 1 To 8

Parts(intI,1) = ""

Parts(intI,2) = AttrVal(part, "Description")

Parts(intI,3) = AttrVal(part, "Value")

Parts(intI,4) = part.Decal

Parts(intI,5) = part.Name

Parts(intI,6) = AttrVal(part, "Option")

Parts(intI,7) = ""

Parts(intI,8) =ActiveDocument.LayerName(part.layer)

Next intJ

intI= intI + 1

End If

Next part

Dim comp_counter As Integer

Dim Species As Integer

Const flag As Integer = 10

Dim Component As String

Dim Component_tempAs String

Dim label As String

comp_counter = 0

Species = 0

For i = 1 To UBound(Parts, 1)

If Parts(i, flag) = "" Then

Component = Parts(i, 2) &Parts(i, 6)

label = Parts(i, 5)

comp_counter = 1

For j = i + 1 To UBound(Parts, 1)

Component_temp =Parts(j, 2) &Parts(j, 6)

If Component = Component_temp Then

comp_counter = comp_counter + 1

label = label & ", " &Parts(j, 5)

Parts(j, flag) = "0"

End If

Next j

Parts(i, 5) = label

Parts(i, 7) = Str(comp_counter)

Species = Species + 1

End If

Next i

Dim NO_ As Integer

ReDim SpeciesArray1(Species, 8)

ReDim SpeciesArray2(Species, 8)

For i = 1 To UBound(Parts, 1)

SpeciesArray1(NO_, 6) = Parts(i,6)

SpeciesArray1(NO_, 7) = Parts(i,7)

SpeciesArray1(NO_, 8) = Parts(i,8) NO_ = NO_ + 1

ElseIf Parts(i, flag) = "" And Parts(i, 8)="BOT" Then

SpeciesArray2(NO_, 1) = Parts(i, 1)
