.NET SECS Component for Equipment Manufacturers Combining our high-level customizable approach with the advantages of .NET results in a very powerful tool to help you create your application.  Our SecsPort .NET component has built-in logic for more than 100 SECS message types and pre-defined GEM variables, which allows you to have working code in record time.  Here are some other advantages: High-level, working SECS/GEM interface ready for adding equipment specific customization Useable from Visual Basic (VB), C#, Extended C++, Java, or other languages sharing the .NET Common Language Runtime Transparent conversion of .NET Unicode string data to SECS data types Integrates with a child SECS Server process for minimal impact on your application execution.  Also enables you to integrate your GUI with equipment controllers, instrumentation and other processes. Fully integrated into the .NET design environment with IntelliSense coding of event handlers, visible method descriptions, and parameter prompting Comprehensive debugging and diagnostic features with support for remote debugging using Hume Inspect and hubclient applications Demonstrated very high reliability Enables new and custom messages to be easily implemented without updated software Implements SEMI E4, E5, E30, and E37 specifications (both SECS-I and SECS-II/HSMS) Moreover, our SECS/GEM software comes with an integration backbone.  This backbone, or middleware, provides the connectivity needed to tie separate applications into a coordinated system. Providing elegant separation of data producers and consumers, it allows development teams to work independently and code to a shared table schema.  Communication is accomplished using an event-driven subscription approach with an in-memory SQL database.  The subscription feature eliminates polling and includes sophisticated message queuing.  Queuing smoothes over peaks and bottlenecks, and provides a dynamic connection interface.  The whole package is called the Hume Datahub Solution Development Kit (SDK).  See a Datahub conceptual overview here.   The SDK is portable to major operating systems including HP-UX, Linux, SunOS, and Windows.  We proudly count Agilent, Delta Design, Freescale, and National Semiconductor among our very happy customers.
