Fast SECS/GEM implementation – high reliability in production
- GWGEM provides an open architecture, extendable to meet unique SECS/GEM requirements.
- The majority of generic and common equipment functionality is provided as standard. However, most equipment platforms have unique requirements and GWGEM adapts to these easily.
- 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 (SEMI E4, SEMI E5, SEMI E37).
- GWGEM supports all Specific Equipment Model (SEM) extensions as defined by SEMI standards.
- GWGEM runs on Windows and Red Hat Linux operating systems. See the list of supported technologies for details.
