Product Overview – What Is EIGEMBridge?

EIGEMBridge is a SECS/GEM communication bridge that works between the customer’s host and equipment, while both continue to communicate with each other seamlessly.

The customer’s host and equipment remain fully operational.

With EIGEMBridge, communication continues as-is, while messages are received, forwarded, analyzed, and optionally handled by EIGEMBridge.

EIGEMBridge seamlessly integrates SECS/GEM devices and their hosts by positioning itself strategically to intercept, analyze, react to, and forward SECS messages—without disrupting the primary communication channel.

Problem Statement – Customer Pain Points

Many fabs and manufacturers face challenges such as:

• Equipment supports SECS/GEM but exposes limited data
• Inability to access or analyze pass-through SECS messages
• Need for additional data collection without modifying host or equipment
• Risk of disrupting existing SECS/GEM communication

 

EIGEMBridge addresses these challenges by acting as a non-intrusive communication bridge.

How EIGEMBridge Works

EIGEMBridge runs between the equipment and host system and handles SECS communication in real time.

All of this happens without impacting the main communication channel.

Break through communication barriers and revolutionize industrial operations with EIGEMBridge—a seamless solution designed for efficiency and performance in SECS/GEM communication.

If an equipment supports SECS/GEM but provides only limited data, EIGEMBridge can be used to obtain additional data without disturbing existing host-equipment communication.

• Intercepts SECS messages
• Forwards messages transparently
• Receives copies of messages
• Inserts custom messages when required

Communication Scenarios

01

Scenario 1: Pass-Through Messaging

Customers only want SECS/GEM messages to pass through without any modification.

02

Scenario 2: Pass-Through + Data Handling

Customers want messages to pass through and be sent to EIGEMBridge for data handling. If customers need EINNOSYS to manage data from any pass message, EIGEMBridge supports that requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is EIGEMBridge?

EIGEMBridge is a SECS/GEM communication bridge developed by EINNOSYS. It operates between the equipment and the host system to intercept, forward, analyze, and optionally handle SECS/GEM messages without disrupting existing communication.

When should EIGEMBridge be used?

EIGEMBridge should be used when an equipment supports SECS/GEM but provides only limited data. In such cases, EIGEMBridge helps obtain additional data while keeping the original host-equipment communication intact.

Does EIGEMBridge interrupt existing SECS/GEM communication?

No. EIGEMBridge is designed to work transparently. The customer’s host and equipment continue communicating seamlessly while EIGEMBridge operates in between without disrupting the main channel.

Can EIGEMBridge be used only for message pass-through?

Yes. One usage scenario is simple pass-through messaging, where SECS/GEM messages are forwarded without modification.

Can EIGEMBridge also handle SECS/GEM data?

Yes. In the second scenario, messages are passed through and also sent to EIGEMBridge for data handling. If customers want EINNOSYS to manage data from any pass message, EIGEMBridge supports that requirement.

What types of features does EIGEMBridge offer?

EIGEMBridge includes smart priority rules, intelligent message filtering, powerful logging capabilities, low resource usage, support for reliable technologies, and the ability to send custom SECS messages.

On which platforms can EIGEMBridge run?

EIGEMBridge runs on any platform and performs efficiently even on systems with limited resources, making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.

Is EIGEMBridge suitable for data collection projects?

Yes. Because it can intercept, analyze, and forward SECS messages without impacting communication, EIGEMBridge is ideal for SECS/GEM data collection and monitoring projects.

Can EIGEMBridge insert custom SECS messages?

Yes. EIGEMBridge has the capability to insert custom messages while still forwarding original messages, without disturbing the primary communication flow.

What makes EIGEMBridge different from standard SECS/GEM solutions?

EIGEMBridge works as a non-intrusive bridge, enabling additional data access, message handling, and logging without requiring changes to existing host or equipment configurations.
