Semiconductor Application
We have a classic model for semiconductor companies. Generally there are two types of semiconductor companies.
One is Fabless semiconductor companies and other is companies who has Semiconductor Fabs.
Serial to Ethernet converter
Type of work : - Hardware and Firmware
This converter allows existing legacy instruments and equipment's on serial interface with RS232 or RS485 to be connected to Network. The development was done as a turnkey product development for an OE customer. Support for various serial and networking parameter configuration was provided. This can support TCP, UDP, ICMP and ARP network protocols and acts as a pass through converter from TCP / IP. The network socket connection could be initiated from the converter or from the external network device. Another models with support for additional protocols support such as MODBUS TCP was also developed around same core firmware.
Remote Monitoring Gateway
Type of work: - Hardware and Firmware
For remotely tracking run time parameters in factory plant, it was required to send periodic information from the equipment to the central web server. This gateway was developed to provide such a solution. It had one serial interface to collect the information from the controller, had built in modem for Telephone dial up interface and also PPP stack chip. The gateway would dial out to local ISP and connect to web server application waiting for the information. Once the information was sent, the gateway would disconnect. The gateway had few digital IO lines as well. The web server application would then assimilate the information and present in HTML format for global access.
Smart - Comm
Type of work: - Hardware and Firmware
The SMART-Comm HS80 is a connectivity and protocol-converting product used by OEMs and End User Fabs to integrate SMIF I/O's, SECS devices, and Auto ID technologies. The SMART-Comm improves communication speeds and efficiency by combining protocol conversion and multiplexing in a single device. The SMART-Comm provides a common interface from the CIM system to semiconductor equipment, auto ID components, and serial devices.
