Name A.K.A Keyword Description
E4 SECS-I [RS-232] The SECS-I standard defines a low level communication protocol for interfacing a host computer to equipment through an RS-232 serial communications interface.
E5 SECS-II [Data Exchange] [GEM300] The SECS-II standard provides a definition of messages and related data items exchanged between the host and the equipment.
E30 GEM - Generic Model for Communication and Control of Manufacturing Equipment [GEM300] [State Machine] The GEM standard uses a specific subset of SECS-II messages to implement several state machines that define rules to govern the interaction between the equipment and the host computer.
E37 HSMS - High-Speed SECS Message Services [GEM300] [TCP/IP] The HSMS standard defines a low -level communication protocol for a high speed communication link using Ethernet and TCP/IP communication protocols.
E39 Object Services Standard [GEM300] Object Services Standard: Concepts, Behavior, and Services Defines how various types of objects are dynamically created and deleted during material processing. Specifies object attribute interaction
E40 Standard for Processing Management [GEM300] Process job management is concerned with the processing of material by a processing resource. It’s function is to ensure that material delivered to the process module is processed with the correct recipe
E87 Specification for Carrier Management (CMS) [GEM300] Standardizes the coordination, execution, and completion of automated and manual carrier transfers to and from the equipment and, if it exists, its internal buffer space
E90 Specification for Substrate Tracking [GEM300] Defines a standard means for tracking substrates in manufacturing in the same manner as E87 does for Carriers
E94 Specification for Control Job Management [GEM300] Provides a supervisory level of control for Process Jobs on material processing equipment, allowing hosts to manage complex processing scenarios.
E116 Specification for Equipment Performance Tracking (EPT) [GEM300] Enables the host computer to track basic equipment performance in an automated and consistent manner without operator or host input
E148 Specification for Time Synchronization and Definition of the TS-Clock Object [GEM300] Synchronize all the equipment clocks to provide a meaningful reference when reviewing collected data and events
E157 Specification for Module Process Tracking (MPT) [GEM300] Provides a common paradigm for equipment to report data associated with recipe step execution without requiring equipment to change existing recipe definitions.
