Market Leader in SECS/GEM, Test Automation, AI Vision and Smart Factory

First, I will explain the difference between XCom and XGem.

The XCom SECS Driver is a communication driver that supports the easy and convenient use of the SECS communication protocol. The minimum protocol for communication does not standardize the operation itself for the various functions occurring in the actual equipment.
The XGem driver is a GEM S / W driver that supports the E30 (GEM) specification that applies to semiconductor devices.
This is a standard for driving the equipment that contains the scenarios of the operation of the equipment and the messages used at this time. .

Key Differences Between XCom and XGem Development

XCom should develop the required specification and implement SECS-II message format directly, but if XGem complies with GEM, And you do not have to develop the SECS-II message format yourself.

For example, you do not need to create messages directly from Stream 1 to Stream 10 of the SECS message used in the GEM area, but if you update the equipment status in real time with the XGem process with API provided by XGem, GEM Because XGem handles the scenario, it is easy to develop and shorten the development period.
