COMMS PROTOCOL OPTIONS
GEM This configuration implements the SMEMA standard for communications for
Surface Mount Equipment. GEM (Generic Equipment Model) is a standard
sub-set of the SECSII protocol. GEM is specifically designed for implementing
equipment automation in a production environment.
In this configuration, a host computer running GEM compatible software talks to
the machine via a Network cable.
If the Host is a PC, DEK’s Off-line editor software can be used to modify
product files. The Event Log can be read by a text editor. The flexibility of the
GEM interface allows data collection to be customized to meet the users
requirements.
Net_Files This configuration allows users to redirect files away from the machines local
hard drive to a remote directory on a file server. The machine is configured to
access a ‘product’ directory for a product file and a ‘data’ directory for output
data files.
At the machine when a product file is loaded it is read from the ‘product’
directory on the network file server. When it is saved it is saved to the ‘product’
directory on the file server. Files cannot be read from the printer or sent to the
printer across the network.
Once the files are present on the server, they can be accessed from a networked
PC without interfering with the machine.
At a networked PC, DEK’s Off-line Editor software can be used to modify
product files. QC-Calc software can be used to access SPC data in the
‘READINGS.DEK’ file. The Event Log can be read with a text editor.
