Abstract:
1. An identification information setting device that gives, when a transfer chamber including substrate transfer means and a processing chamber are arranged in a predetermined arrangement relationship, an address to each of the transfer chamber and the processing chamber, the device comprising: display means that displays a region group for imaginarily developing the predetermined arrangement relationship, the region group including a plurality of regions; first storage means that stores identification information for specifying each of the plurality of regions of the region group; means that makes a user specify, in the region group displayed on the display means, an arrangement position of the transfer chamber and an arrangement position of the processing chamber by a first icon which corresponds to the transfer chamber and includes a plurality of sides each corresponding to a position of a connection port and a second icon which corresponds to the processing chamber and includes a connection portion specification portion for indicating a connection portion to the transfer chamber means that acquires constituent information including a correspondence region associated with the transfer chamber among the region group and information indicating a connection port to which the processing chamber is connected among a plurality of connection ports included in the transfer chamber according to an arrangement position of the transfer chamber specified by the first icon on the region group and an arrangement position of the processing chamber specified by the second icon on the region group; and means that gives an address to each of the transfer chamber and the processing by the constituent information and identification information stored in the first storage means for each of the plurality of regions included in the region group, wherein an identification value is allocated to each of the plurality of sides of the first icon, a side adjacent to a connection portion specification portion of a certain second icon among a plurality of sides of a certain first icon indicates a connection port of a transfer chamber corresponding to the certain first icon to a processing chamber corresponding to the certain second icon, the means that acquires the constituent information sets an arrangement position of the first icon in the region group to the correspondence region in the constituent information and sets the side of the first icon adjacent to the connection portion specification portion of the second icon in the region group to the connection port to which the processing chamber is connected in the constituent information, and the means that gives the address refers to the constituent information and the identification information to set the identification information corresponding to the correspondence region included in the constituent information to the address of the transfer chamber, and produces, for each of the processing chambers connected to the transfer chamber to which the address is given, based on information indicating the connection port included in the constituent information, information obtained by adding the identification value allocated to the connection port to the set address of the transfer chamber, and sets the information obtained by adding as the address of the processing chamber connected to the connection port.
