Fast SECS/GEM Implementation – High Reliability in Production

• GWGEM provides an open architecture, extendable to meet unique SECS/GEM requirements.
• The majority of equipment functionality is provided as standard. However, most equipment platforms have unique requirements and GWGEM adapts to these quite easily.
• Generic and common equipment functionality (upwards of 90%) provided as standard. The remaining 10% is typically unique to your equipment and for this GWGEM makes it easy to add in your own requirements.
• Configurable tables and a rich library of function calls minimize the time required to complete a fully functional SECS/GEM interface.
• GWGEM's foundation is built upon PEER Group's SDR™ SECS Driver, the leading product for implementing SECS I and SECS II communications (E4, E5, E37).
• GWGEM supports all Specific Equipment Model (SEM) extensions as defined by SEMI standards.
• GWGEM runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems. Visit the Release History for details.
