1. Introduction 1.1 Overview This manual describes the SECS/GEM interface (version 4.8.1 or higher) used with Fluidmove for Windows NT (FmNT) version 4.8.2 or higher. This document is a modification of the GW Associates GES-1993 SECS/GEM Interface document and has been especially prepared to support FmNT. The content and structure of this document follows the original GES-1993 document. User information and GEM interface with FmNT were added.
1.2 Terminology Abbreviations and terms used in this manual are defined in Table 1-1. Table 1-1 Definition of Terms Term Definition Alarm An alarm is related to any abnormal situation on the Equipment. GEM allows the Host to be notified when alarm conditions are detected and cleared. ALID Equipment Alarm ID. The identifier for a specific alarm condition. CEID Collection Event ID. The identifier for a specific collection event.
Table 1-1 Definition of Terms (continued) Term Definition HSMS-SS High Speed Message Service-Single Session. This standard defines TCP/IP network communication used by GEM for Host/Equipment communication. It replaces the SECS-I standard. ID Identifier or Identification. Operator The person who physically has access to the Equipment’s material port(s) and control panel. This is the person who is operating the dispensing system.
1.3 SECS/GEM – FmNT Compatibility Compatibility between FmNT and SECS/GEM version is as follows: 1.4 • FmNT version 4.8 and earlier is compatible only with FmNT SECS/GEM, version 4.1. • FmNT version 4.8.2 and later requires FmNT SECS/GEM, version 4.8.1 or later. SECS Standard The SEMI Equipment Communication Standard (SECS) is published by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI).
1.4.2 Physical Connection The GEM hardware interface must be a TCP/IP network card connection through a Ten-Base-T connector or BNC jack (SECS-II interface). NOTE The following information is provided only as a reference for RS-232 connections (SECS-I interface) and is currently not implemented by FmNT: • The RS-232 connector on the Equipment deviates from the standard SECS-I DB25F connector. • The Equipment provides a male 25-pin RS-232 “DB25M” connector on its back panel as the SECS port.
1.4.4 Interleaved Blocks The Equipment never sends interleaved blocks to the Host. That is, the Equipment always sends all blocks of one message before sending the first block of the next message. This simplifies the job of the Host. However, the Equipment allows the Host to send interleaved blocks, if it so chooses. 1.4.5 Simultaneous Transactions The Equipment may initiate several simultaneous outstanding SECS transactions.
1.5 SECS-II Clarifications The Equipment uses the following SECS-II conventions: 1.5.1 Data Format Types Where the Standards permit a choice of data item types, the choice has been made as described in Section 4. SECS Message Detail . For outgoing messages, the Equipment always sends Data Items of the exact format shown. For some incoming messages, the Equipment “forgives” minor Host errors. For example, the Equipment may accept a U1 Data Item where a U2 format was expected.
1.6 GEM Standard The SEMI Generic Equipment Model for Effective Factory Automation (GEM) is another document published by SEMI. The GEM standard defines some useful conventions for designing the communications interface on a unit of factory Equipment to improve operations with a Host Computer. The Equipment complies with SEMI E30-1993. 1.

1.8 SEMI E10 Standard NOTE FmNT does not upload the E10 states through the SECS/GEM interface. SEMI E10 provides a guideline for the definition and measurement of Equipment reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM). This document defines six basic Equipment States which define how Equipment time is categorized. A status bar on the Equipment reflects the current E10 state. These Equipment states are as defined in SEMI E10-1992 (Section 3, ‘Equipment States’). 1.
1.9.2 SECS-II Parameters This section applies only to the Ethernet hardware interface defined in the SECS II standard. There are no Operator adjustable parameters involved in configuring the SECS II interface. The operating system of the Equipment computer must be made aware of the network connection or the SECS/GEM feature will not operate.
1.9.3 GEM Configuration This Equipment is configurable for operation with most older Host computers which do not support the GEM message set, or support an older version of GEM. 1. Equipment constant “CONFIGALARMS” (VID 1) selects the message the Equipment will send for Alarm Reports. “ConfigAlarms” may be 0, 1, or 2, selection S5F1, S5F71, or S5F73, respectively. 2. Equipment constant “CONFIGCONNECT” (VID 2) selects the message the Equipment will send for Connect Request.
Table 1-6 shows the recommended settings for compatibility with various types of Hosts. Factory (Default) settings are shown in bold. Table 1-6 Compatibility Settings Equipment Constant E30-93 GEM 3.1 GEM 3.0 GEM 2.0 GEM 1.
1.10 State Diagrams This document uses several Finite State Machine diagrams to describe the current condition of the Equipment’s SECS link, material handling mechanisms, and process cycle. Each Finite State Machine diagram includes a State Diagram and a complete description of the states and state transitions. All Finite State Diagrams have been prepared in the format specified in the GEM standard.
1.11 Machine Operation and the GEM Interface 1.11.1 Connecting to the Host FmNT loads the GEM communications driver immediately upon startup. Once connection to the driver is established, the device enters its default communication state as set by the Operator. This default state can be set via the SECS/GEM Setup dialog box in FmNT. The recommended selection is “Enabled”.
1.11.4 Loss of Communications Link: Spooling Communications may be temporarily lost with the Host from time to time. GEM message responses and requests are automatically spooled to disk when this happens. When communications are restored the messages on the SPOOL file are automatically sent to the Host. Spooling is enabled for FmNT. The Host may query the SPOOLSTSATE and CONTROLSTATE variables with the Selected Equipment Status Request message (S1F3) in order to establish the success of REMOTE operations.
Remote run commands are described in Table 1-7. Table 1-7 Remote Run Commands Command Description START This command is successful when the Control State is OnLine - REMOTE , the board is in the Dispensing position, the machine is configured for a run, and the process program has been selected. This event begins the continuous processing of substrate trays. Processing can be interrupted by STOP, PAUSE, and ABORT commands. The Operator can also initiate PAUSE and STOP commands from the Run Window.
1.11.6.4 Terminal Message Notification After a terminal message has been received from the Host, the GEM status bar at the bottom of the FmNT Run Window will start blinking. See Figure 1-1. GEM status bar displays the current communication, control, and spooling state. If the user has selected the beeping option (through the SECS/GEM Setup dialog box) a half-second interval beep is also provided to catch the user’s attention. During run-time, the GEM status bar is displayed.
1.11.7 SECS/GEM Setup Dialog Box in FmNT The SECS/GEM Setup dialog box can be accessed by pressing the SECS/GEM button in the FmNT Main Window. The dialog box contains tabs with buttons and drop-down menus for control and setup of GEM features. These tabs are described in Figure 1-2 through Figure 1-6. 1 2 5 6 1 3 4 Item Name Description 1 – FmNT GEM Version Information. 2 Control On-Line Local: The Operator has control of the system. The system will reject most Host commands.

2.2 Equipment-to-Host Messages Table 2-3 describes primary SECS messages sent by the Equipment, and the associated reply messages from the Host. Refer to Table 8-1 for further details. In the Notes column, those messages marked with “N” are provided for non-GEM or older GEM compatibility.
3. Operating Characteristics This section describes the operating characteristics of the Equipment. 3.1 Communications States The Equipment represents the current state of its SECS link using a Communication Finite State Machine diagram. The purpose is to make clear how this link is initiated and terminated. The Communications State is displayed in the GEM status bar and the SECS/GEM tab of the FmNT Run Window.
3.1.1 Communications Finite State Description Figure 3-1 illustrates the Communications Finite State Machine that the Equipment maintains. " NOTE Refer to Table 3-1 for definition of numbers used in Figure 3-1.
3.1.1.1 State Transitions The following transitions can occur. Transitions shown in Figure 3-1 do not cause the Equipment to signal any Collection Event ID (CEID) or to send Event Reports to the Host. " NOTE The numbers in the # column refers to those in Figure 3-1. Table 3-1 State Transitions # From Trigger 1 Unknown Power-Up 2 Disabled Operator enables SECS link. Enabled Equipment will attempt to establish communications with the Host.
3.1.1.2 Communications States The current communication state will be one of the values specified in Table 3-2. There is no variable indicating the communication state. The communication state is presented to the Operator on the main Operator interface screen. Table 3-2 Communication State Values Value Description DISABLED The SECS link to the Host is disabled at the Equipment. The Equipment will send no messages to the Host. The Equipment will not respond to a Host-initiated ENQ.
3.1.2 Power Up At Power Up (or System Start), the equipment constant “INITCOMMSTATE” (VID 7) controls whether the state is initialized to DISABLED or ENABLED. The factory setting is DISABLED. 3.1.3 Related Variables Table 3-3 lists the variables (SVs, ECs, or DVs) which are relevant to establishing communications. For a more complete description of these variables, refer to Appendix A. Table 3-3 Related Variables Variable Name 3.1.
3.2 Control States This section describes the Control characteristics of the Equipment. The Equipment may be in one of the following control states. This value is reflected in status variable CONTROLSTATE (VID 28). Table 3-4 Control States Value State 1 Off-Line/Equipment Off-Line 2 Off-Line/Attempt On-Line 3 Off-Line/Host Off-Line 4 On-Line/Local 5 On-Line/Remote GWGEM software maintains the GEM Control State finite state machine.
3.2.1 Control Finite State Description Figure 3-2 and Table 3-5 describe the Equipment Control State. The Equipment behaves differently and will accept different messages depending on its current control state. The purpose of this diagram is to make clear to the Host exactly what is happening at the Equipment. The logic for these states and transitions is the logic specified in the GEM standard. " NOTE Refer to Table 3-5 for definition of numbers used in Figure 3-2.
3.2.1.1 Control State Transitions Certain state transitions will cause a collection event to be signaled. If the event is enabled, this event will be sent to the Host along with the appropriate reports if appropriate. Table 3-5 lists the state transitions and notes when events will be sent to the Host. " NOTE The numbers in the # column refer to those in Figure 3-2.
Table 3-5 Control State Transitions (continued) # 9 From On-Line Trigger To Host puts the Equipment OffLine by sending S1F15 and receiving the S1F16 with OFLACK = 0x00. Host Off-Line Description EVENT: GemEquipmentOFFLINE (CEID 22). The Equipment will accept a Host initiated request to go On-Line by replying to the S1F17 with ONLACK = 0x00. 10 Host Off-Line Successful completion of S1F17 / S1F18 transaction, with ONLACK = 0x00. On-Line 11 Unknown Entry into On-Line super-state.
3.2.1.2 Control States The variable CONTROLSTATE (VID 28) represents the current control state, and will be one of the values listed in Table 3-6. Table 3-6 Control State Values Value Description Off-Line/EQUIPMENT OFFLINE The Operator has put the Equipment off-line. In this state, only the Operator can put the Equipment on-line. Any Host-initiated primary message (except S1F13 and S1F17) will be replied to with an SnF0 ABORT message by the Equipment.
3.2.2 Power Up At power-up, the equipment constant “INITCONTROLSTATE” (VID 9) controls whether ControlState is initialized to ONLINE or OFFLINE. Within the Off-Line super-state, the equipment constant “OFFLINESUBSTATE” (VID 42) controls whether the Control State defaults to: 1. Equipment Off-Line 2. Host Off-Line 3. Attempt On-Line If INITCONTROLSTATE (VID 9) initializes to On-Line, the variable ONLINESUBSTATE (VID 44) determines whether the default state is: 1. Local 2.
3.2.4 Related Events Table 3-8 lists the collection events (CEIDs) which are relevant to the Control State. For a more complete description of these events, refer to Appendix B or the description in this chapter. Table 3-8 Control State CEIDS Collection Event 3.3 CEID GemControlStateLOCAL 8 GemControlStateREMOTE 9 GemEquipmentOFFLINE 22 Process States See Figure 3-4 for a description of the FmNT processing state model.
3.3.1 E10 State Figure 3-3 illustrates the state of the Equipment in relationship to overall factory production. The E10 state diagram is implemented in the Equipment according to the details specified in the SEMI E10 document. The following summarizes the Equipment’s implementation of the E10 standard: The Equipment can transition from any state to any other state except for “Productive”. The “Productive” state can only be entered from the “Standby” state.
3.3.1.1 E10 State Transitions Certain state transitions will cause a collection event to be signaled. If the event is enabled, this event will be sent to the Host along with the appropriate reports if appropriate. Table 3-9 lists the state transitions and notes when events will be sent to the Host. " NOTE The numbers in the # column refer to those in Figure 3-3.
3.3.1.2 E10 STATE Values The values for E10 states are listed in Table 3-10. Table 3-10 E10 State Values Value Description Non-Productive/NonScheduled Time The Equipment is not scheduled to be used in production. An Operator can put the Equipment into this state at any time. Non-Productive/Unscheduled Downtime The Equipment has been scheduled to be used in production, but is unable to be used because of unforeseen events.
3.3.2 Equipment Process States Figure 3-4 illustrates in greater detail the processing at the Equipment. This diagram depicts the working states of the Equipment. " NOTE Refer to Table 3-11 for definition of numbers used in Figure 3-4.
3.3.2.1 Equipment Process State Transitions " NOTE The numbers in the # column refer to those in Figure 3-4. Table 3-11 Process State Transitions # From Trigger To Description 1 Unknown Power-Up Idle At power-up, the Equipment defaults to the IDLE state. 2 Idle Run Command Running Either the Host or Operator issues a run command. This command can be issued by a remote command from the Host or by local Operator.
3.3.2.2 Equipment Process State Values The values for Equipment process states are listed in Table 3-12. Table 3-12 Equipment Process State Values Value Description Idle The Equipment is initialized to this state. This state indicates that the Equipment is not dispensing on a board nor is it waiting for a board to arrive at the dispense station.
3.4 Data Collection Note the three types of variables: Status Variable (SV), Data Variable (DV), and Equipment Constants (EC). The Host sets only ECs. DVs are time stamped by being associated with Collection Events IDs (CEID), and will be reported by FmNT in Event Reports. 3.4.1 Variables The Equipment has a fixed set of Variables which can be read by the Host. Each variable is identified by a unique Variable ID (VID). Appendix A lists all variables for both FmNT and standard GEM operations.
The Equipment allows the Host to enable and disable Event Reports using S2F37. If the Host enables a CEID, for which no Event Report is defined, the Equipment will send a “null” (no data) report when the event occurs. The Host can “force” Event Reports on the Equipment using the following Event Report Request messages: 3.4.6 S6F15 Host requests an Event Report associated with a CEID. S6F17 Host requests an Annotated Event Report associated with a CEID.
3.4.7 Limits Monitoring The Host can define limits for various Variables on the Equipment. When the appropriate limits transitions occur, the Equipment will report this occurrence by sending an event to the Host (if the event is enabled). The Host may define limits for a particular Variable through the S2F45 (Define Variable Limit Attributes). Through this message, the Host may define up to seven limits for each eligible Variable. For each limit (LIMITID), the Host defines an UPPERDB and a LOWERDB.
Limits States Disabled 2 1 Enabled C Below Limit 5 3 4 No Zone Above Limit 6 Figure 3-6 Limits State Diagram 3-22 Equipment-to-Host Messages
3.4.8 Limits State Transitions Table 3-14 Limits State Transitions # From 1 Enabled Host undefines limits attributes. 2 Disabled Host defines limits. Conditional Host sends S2F45 to define limits. 3 Below Limit Variable changes to greater than or equal to UPPERDB. Above Limit Limit transition event is signaled to Host if enabled. 4 Above Limit Variable changes to less than or equal to LOWERDB. Below Limit Limit transition event is signaled to Host if enabled.
3.4.9 Disk Files The Equipment maintains a disk file which contains the current equipment constant settings. The file is updated each time the Operator or Host changes an equipment constant. The most recent settings for some of the equipment constants are read from the file when the Equipment is powered-on. All Event Report definitions, links, and enable status as well as Limits attributes are also maintained on separate disk files. 3.4.
3.5.2 Reporting The Equipment reports alarms to the Host when they occur, without Host action, using the alarm report message S5F1 or configurable option, depending on CONFIGALARMS. The transition of an ALID from OFF to ON is referred to as “going on” or “leading edge”, and the transition from ON to OFF as “going off ” or “trailing edge”. The Equipment reports both leading and trailing edge transitions.
3.5.6 Related Variables The following table lists the variables (SVs, ECs, or DVs) which are relevant to alarm management. For a more complete description of these variables, refer to Appendix A. Table 3-18 Alarm Management Variables Variable Name 3.5.
3.6 Process Program Management Processing on the Equipment is controlled by Process Programs. The Equipment requires selection of a Process Program for each process. The Equipment supports the use of unformatted process programs. FmNT uses proprietary ASCII and binary image files to define process programs (recipes). 3.6.1 Equipment Management of Process Programs The Equipment provides a Process Program Library, implemented as a set of binary files maintained on a hard disk.
3.6.3 Related Variables The following table lists the variables (SVs, ECs, or DVs) which are relevant to process program management. For a more complete description of these variables, refer to Appendix A. Table 3-19 Process Program Management Variables Variable Name 3.6.4 VID PPCHANGENAME 40 PPEXECNAME 32 PPCHANGESTATUS 41 Related Events The following lists the collection events (CEIDs) which are relevant to process program management.
3.7 Remote Commands Processing at the Equipment can be guided by either a local Operator or by a Host computer. This section describes the remote commands available to the Host. Much of the behavior of the Equipment and its acceptance of remote commands is directed by requirements of the Control State. For a complete description of the Control State, refer to 3.2 Control States. The Equipment will accept remote commands only when the Control State is Remote.
3.7.1 S2F41 Commands The general format for remote commands using the S2F41 message is: S2F41 [W] E * Command Parameter Name * Command Parameter Value > ... > > . The following commands may be sent by the Host to the Equipment: START This command starts processing on the Equipment assuming all proper initialization has taken place and material is present. S2F41 [W] > .
PAUSE The PAUSE command will cause the Equipment to complete the current instruction in process, but not to start the next instruction until the RESUME command has been given. S2F41 [W] > . RESUME After a PAUSE command has been given, the RESUME command will continue to process the existing board according to the recipe. S2F41 [W] > . LOCAL While the Equipment is in Remote state, the Host can put the Equipment into Local state by sending the LOCAL command.
3.7.2 Related Variables The following table lists the variables (SVs, ECs, or DVs) which are relevant to remote control. For a more complete description of these variables, refer to Appendix A. Table 3-21 Remote Control Variable Variable Name 3.7.3 VID ABORTLEVEL 21 PREVIOUSCOMMAND 34 Related Events The following lists the collection events (CEIDs) which are relevant to remote control. For a more complete description of these events, refer to Appendix B or the description in this chapter.
3.8 Material Movement Material movement on the Equipment consists of the following three board holding areas: • Pre-processing Area • Dispensing Area • Post-processing Area In order for processing to begin, a board must arrive from the upstream machine on the pre-processing area. The Equipment then takes the boards to the pre-processing area, sends them to the dispensing area, processes them, and then places them in the post-processing area.
3.9 Equipment Terminal Services The Equipment supports exchange of free text messages with the Host (SECS Stream 10). This Equipment accepts the following messages from the Host, and responds accordingly if the W-Bit is set to 1: S10F3 S10F5 S10F9 /* Single Line Data */ /* Multi-Line Data */ /* Broadcast */ The message text will be displayed on the Equipment’s CRT.
3.10 Error Messages The Equipment provides standard Stream 9 messages to report SECS-I errors. Refer to 5.7 SECS Error Messages for detailed description of these messages: S9F1 Unrecognized Device ID S9F3 Unrecognized Stream S9F5 Unrecognized Function S9F7 Invalid Data S9F9 Transaction Timeout S9F11 Data Too Long FmNT can reject a primary message received from the Host as incorrectly formatted for SECS-II (invalid data, or data too long). 3.
3.12 Spooling When the SECS link between the Host and the Equipment goes down (RTY error on the Equipment side), the Equipment will spool appropriate messages so that the Host can read them once the link comes back up (after a successful Connect Request transaction). The Host can set spooling attributes on the Equipment by setting certain equipment constants with the S2F15/16 transaction. The Host can define streams and functions of messages to be spooled through the S2F43/44 transaction.
3.12.2 Spooling Sequence Messages are sent to the spool only if the Host has enabled these messages for spooling. This precondition will not be repeated throughout this section. Assume that the messages referred to in this section have been enabled for spooling. While spooling is active, the Host may initiate primary messages and the Equipment will respond, if it is in the COMMUNICATING state. Figure 3-7 and Table 3-24 describe the spooling sequence.
" Table 3-24 Spooling State Transitions NOTE The numbers in the # column refer to those in Figure 3-7. # From Trigger To 1 Power On Equipment shutdown Power Off 2 Power Off Equipment Startup History* (Power On) Equipment re-boots after a shutdown. Spooling will continue according to its state when the Equipment was powered off. 3 Spool Inactive The Equipment experiences a transmission failure and the variable GemConfigSpool (VID 66) is set to “1” (enabled).
3.12.2.1 Spooling Starts When a transmission failure occurs, the first message sent to the spool is the event message GemSpoolingActivated. The next message sent to the spool is the message which caused the communications failure. Table 3-25 depicts the activity at the Equipment when spooling starts.
3.12.2.3 Host Reads Spooled Data The Host can read spooled messages by sending the S6F23 message. Upon receipt of this message, the Equipment will reply and attempt to send spooled messages. Messages are sent in order of oldest to newest, with no priority given to a particular kind of message. The EC MAXSPOOLTRANSMIT determines the maximum number of spooled messages which are sent per S6F23 message received from the Host.
3.12.3 Spool States 3.12.3.1 Power Off The Equipment is completely shut down. 3.12.3.2 Power On The Equipment is “on” and in a stable state. Table 3-26 describes the substates. Table 3-26 Power On Spool Substates Substate Description Spool Inactive Spooling is not activated. This is either because GemConfigSpool is “0” (disabled) in which case, spooling will never be active, or because while GemConfigSpool is enabled (“1”), a RTY error has not occurred. In this state, no messages are sent to the spool.
3.12.4 Related Variables The following table lists the variables (SVs, ECs, or DVs) which are relevant to spooling. For a more complete description of these variables, refer to Appendix A. Table 3-27 Spooling Variables Variable Name 3.12.
4. SECS Message Detail This section describes the basics of SML notation and lists each message sent or understood by the Equipment. 4.1 SML Notation Message descriptions are shown using “SECS Message Language” (SML) notation. SML is a general notation developed by GW Associates for describing SECS messages. SML is similar to the notation used in the SECS Standards documents, but SML is a more precise and regular notation. 4.1.
Table 4-1 Components of a SML Data Item (continued) Description Component value Value of a single item element. Values are shown in a notation that depends on the item type. For example, ASCII values are shown as characters enclosed in quotes, Unspecified Binary values are shown in hexadecimal. An ellipsis (…) is used to indicate additional elements may occur, as for example where substructures may repeat in a List structure.
4.1.2 Message Format The format of a complete message is as follows: SnFn W item . The components of a complete message are described in Table 4-2. Table 4-2 Components SML Notation Component SnFn The Stream and Function Codes, S1F1 for example. The W-Bit, if set. Omitted if not set. If the W-Bit is optional, it is coded within brackets “[W]”.
