Equipment Integration
VAC Equipment Cell Controller for equipment integration
VAC Equipment Cell Controller (VECC) represents the software solution for equipment integration on the host side (Cell Controller Level). VECC is based on our proven object-oriented control and visualisation system VAC NT/32.
VAC NT/32 thus offers an ideal software platform for the development process, since this tool already provides essential functions of an equipment adapter in the form of encapsulated objects. SECS/GEM interface objects are available for equipment integration in the semiconductor industry. The additional variety of OEM-specific interfaces are supported by freely configurable objects for RS 232, TCP/IP, OPC, field bus or PLC-Interface.
The equipment data are gathered by the VECC, evaluated and, if needed, logically linked with other data (Business Logic). A local GUI can also be provided if needed. Object-oriented communications technologies such as CORBA or DCOM and message-oriented technologies like MBX, MSMQ or TIBrv are available for representing the data to plant-specific middleware. There are also database interfaces for ORACLE, ADABAS, or SQL-Server.
Remote control and remote diagnostic functions are included for administration, service and maintenance of integration solutions. These can be supported by the e-Diagnostics solution RDAT.
Your benefits at a glance
- Reduced development cost and time through reusable objects and simulations
- Expandability of the basic functionalities
- Integration of your own objects and functions
- Efficiency through use of just one development tool in all FAB areas
- Time savings in integration through internal diagnostics functions
