SECS/GEM Challenges – How Can We Help?
Tool-Side Challenges (Equipment Builders)
You’ve already built or delivered the equipment — but now the customer requires SECS/GEM support. TransSECS helps you retrofit a working tool with a reliable SECS/GEM interface, without major rework or rewriting your control software.
Hosts expect recipe messages and remote commands such as start, stop, and pp-select. TransSECS sets up the message structure for you and includes built-in support for simple, file-based recipe management. As the tool builder, you can focus on the key logic — with guided examples and without having to build everything from scratch.
You already have an HMI or SCADA system that talks OPC UA — but you need to read and write VIDs and access SECS/GEM event and alarms through an OPC UA server. TransSECS lets you expose your tool’s SECS/GEM interface as a secure OPC UA server, enabling OPC clients to interact with data — all without custom coding. Also available using other server protocols like MQTT and Sparkplug B.
Fab/Host-Side Challenges (Integration & Automation Teams)
You want to pull SECS/GEM data into your fab or factory systems quickly — without spending weeks building and debugging a custom host from scratch. TransSECS allows you to store event report data in database tables quickly and easily, no code required.
When building a SECS/GEM host application, you need reliable tools to test against — but constant access to production tools can be limited. With TransSECS, you can connect once to capture a tool’s VIDs, CEIDs, and ALIDs, then automatically build a digital twin — ideal for development, testing, and demos.
Your fab already has SCADA, MES, or cloud-based systems in place — and you don’t want a standalone SECS/GEM host that creates a data silo. TransSECS lets you expose SECS/GEM data over OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B or other protocols so it flows cleanly into your existing infrastructure, dashboards, or databases.
It’s not enough to just connect to the tool — you need the right event reports, variables, and trace data when it matters. TransSECS gives you multiple ways to collect data: define event reports, trigger variable collection on specific events (using S1F3), or set up trace messages — all without writing a custom host from scratch and easily storing timestamped data to databases.
