Abstract:
1. A substrate processing apparatus comprising: a carrying system configured to carry a substrate; a manipulation unit configured to display an operation state of the carrying system on a manipulation screen; and a control unit configured to control a carrying operation of the carrying system, wherein, when the carrying operation of the carrying system is started, the control unit transmits a carrying start message containing information about a transportation origin and a transportation destination of the carrying system to the manipulation unit; when the carrying operation of the carrying system is terminated, the control unit transmits a carrying end message containing carrying end information of the carrying system to the manipulation unit; when the manipulation unit receives the carrying start message, the manipulation unit displays a carrying system icon indicating the carrying system which is a carrying target object and a carrying-out icon at predetermined positions of the manipulation screen corresponding to the transportation origin of the carrying system, and a carrying-in icon at a predetermined position of the manipulation screen corresponding to the transportation destination of the carrying system; and when the manipulation unit receives the carrying end message, the manipulation unit removes the carrying-out icon and the carrying-in icon from the manipulation screen and displays the carrying system icon at a predetermined position of the manipulation screen corresponding to a transportation destination of the substrate.
