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.
