X-PORT : HOST SECS DRIVER
X-PORT is a DLL for use in Equipment Automation development to establish Host SECS/GEM connection with a single equipment. This component simplifies HSMS communication and the exchange of SECS messages between host and the equipment.
The development kit comes with sample C# codes of a Host application interfacing with a SECS/GEM-compliant equipment. This sample code can be easily adapted according to production workflow and customised to handle GEM 300 requirements.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Advanced Technologies ( .NET & XML )
- Support HSMS Protocol
- Always HSMS & SECS-II Compliant
- Programmable SECS Messages
- Tight Integration via .NET Control
- Superb SECS Messaging Throughput
- Full SECS Logging and Traceability
