determine whether any of the mounting-related devices among the plurality of mounting-related devices is in a restriction state in which work of the operator on a corresponding mounting-related device is not accepted due to movement of the moving work device based on the specified information, and

when it is determined that the corresponding mounting-related device is in the restriction state, display a display mode indicating the restriction state on the display section of the corresponding mounting-related device to notify the operator of the restriction state.

2 . The management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the management control section is configured to display the display mode corresponding to one or more of the pre-passage state, the passing state, the post-passage state, and the operation target state on the display section of the corresponding mounting-related device.

3 . A mounting system comprising:

the management device according to claim 1 ;

a plurality of mounting-related devices being related to a process of mounting a component on a processing target object, a each of the mounting-related devices including:

a display section configured to visually notify an operator of information;

an attachment portion to which a member is attached; and

a device control section configured to

determine whether a work restriction command has been acquired,

set a restriction state in which work of the operator is not accepted when it is determined that the work restriction command has been acquired, and

display a display mode indicating the restriction state on the display section to notify the operator of the restriction state; and

a moving work device configured to move between the plurality of mounting-related devices to automatically attach and detach the member to and from the attachment portion.

4 . The mounting system according to claim 3 , wherein

the display section is an LED tape disposed on a passage face through which the moving work device passes.

5 . The management device according to claim 1 , wherein the display modes for the pre-passage state, the passing state, the post-passage state, and the operation target state on the display section of the corresponding mounting-related device are different colors.

6 . A mounting-related device used in a mounting system including a moving work device and a management device, the moving work device being configured to move between multiple mounting-related devices to automatically attach and detach a member to and from an attachment portion, the multiple mounting-related devices being related to a process of mounting a component on a processing target object, the management device being configured to manage any of the mounting-related devices and the moving work device, the mounting-related device comprising:

a display section configured to visually notify an operator of information;

an attachment portion to which a member is attached; and

a device control section configured to

determine whether a work restriction command has been acquired from at least one of the moving work device and the management device,

set a restriction state in which work of the operator is not accepted when it is determined that the work restriction command has been acquired, and

display a display mode indicating the restriction state on the display section to notify the operator of the restriction state,

wherein the device control section sets the restriction state in a case where the mounting-related device corresponds to one or more of a pre-passage state in which the moving work device is scheduled to pass, a passing state in which the moving work device is passing, a post-passage state immediately after the moving work device passes, and an operation target state in which the mounting-related device is to be operated by the moving work device, and displays the display mode corresponding to one or more of the pre-passage state, the passing state, the post-passage state, and the operation schedule state on the display section.

7 . The mounting-related device according to claim 6 , wherein the display modes for the pre-passage state, the passing state, the post-passage state, and the operation target state on the display section of the corresponding mounting-related device are different colors.

8 . The mounting-related device according to claim 6 , wherein the restriction state includes at least one of locking a module of the mounting-related device and restricting sliding-out of the module.

9 . A management method used for a mounting system including a plurality of mounting-related devices and a moving work device, each mounting-related device of the plurality of mounting-related devices including a display section configured to visually notify an operator of information and an attachment portion to which a member is attached, the plurality of mounting-related devices being related to a process of mounting a component on a processing target object, the moving work device being configured to move between the plurality of mounting-related devices to automatically attach and detach the member to and from the attachment portion, the method comprising:

acquiring an instruction list;

acquiring a current position of the moving work device;

specifying, based on the acquired instruction list and the current position of the moving work device, information including a pre-passage state in which the moving work device is scheduled to pass, a passing state in which the moving work device is passing, a post-passage state immediately after the moving work device passes, and an operation target state in which one of the mounting-related devices among the plurality of mounting-related devices is to be operated by the moving work device;

determining whether any of the mounting-related devices among the plurality of mounting-related devices is in a restriction state in which work of the operator on a corresponding mounting-related device is not accepted due to movement of the moving work device based on the specified information; and

when it is determined that the corresponding mounting-related device is in the restriction state, displaying a display mode indicating the restriction state on the display section of the corresponding mounting-related device to notify the operator of the restriction state.

10 . A method for controlling a mounting-related device used in a mounting system including a moving work device and a management device, the moving work device being configured to move between multiple mounting-related devices, the multiple mounting-related devices including a display section configured to visually notify an operator of information, the multiple mounting-related devices being related to a process of mounting a component on a processing target object, the moving work device being configured to automatically attach and detach a member to and from an attachment portion, the management device being configured to manage any of the mounting-related devices and the moving work device, the method comprising:
