VAC FabLink: SECS-II, SECS-I, HSMS, GEM & EDA

The universal SECS/GEM Interface for any equipment control

VAC FabLink is the industry-specific interface solution for vertical integration of production equipment in the photovoltaic and semiconductor industry. It implements all necessary SEMI Standards like SECS-II (SEMI E5) with communication over RS232 (SECS-I, SEMI E4) or TCP/IP (HSMS, SEMI E37) as well as the requirements of the Generic Equipment Model (GEM, SEMI E30) such as the Control State Model.

SECS/GEM & EDA/Interface A

VAC FabLink is the shortest path to the SEMI-compatible interface through graphical configuration. VAC FabLink is based on VAC NT/32 and profits from the functional variety, flexibility and graphical programming of the VAC NT/32 development environment. The variety of process interfaces (OPC, S7-communication, Profibus, CAN-Bus, Ethernet…) also allows existing equipment to be retrofitted – regardless of the hardware platform.

VAC FabLink is a component of the VAC NT/32-based product family for equipment controllers such as VCTC - VAC Cluster Tool Controller and VMEC - VAC Modular Equipment Control.
