for Process Tool OEMs
The Fastest Way to Add SECS/GEM Capability to a Controller based Process Tool
Build a complete SECS/GEM interface in three steps in TransSECS Devices:
- Assign registers or tags in your device to SECS IDs - Alarms (alids), current values and settings (svids, dvids, and ecids), and events (ceids).
- Add optional Host Commands and Recipe Messages (or use our built in easy peasy text file recipe handling)
- Build and deploy to any platform of your choice, including Raspberry Pi systems!
Here is a guide to build and run a very simple SECS/GEM interface using TransSECS Devices
Process tools & turn-key solutions
For process tools, our TransSECS products will take care of the details of a GEM compliant interface for you. All you need to do is add your specialized tool ids, alarms, and events and to define and build a few additional host or recipe handling messages to complete your project. ErgoTech is here to get you started with your project and to guide you along the way. We also offer turn-key solutions and services – the complete SECS/GEM interface delivered to run on your choice of platforms including Raspberry Pi based systems.
