EAO has thorough knowledge of the unique manufacturing needs of semiconductor and electronics markets, plus a complete understanding of functional and regulatory requirements.

Applications in semiconductor and electronics production require many operator control terminals. They often consist of industrial PCs with touchscreen displays interfaced to production machines, plus a number of discrete electromechanical components. Emergency stops are always a discrete function in this environment according to the SEMI S2 Guidelines.

The design of HMI Systems for semiconductor production systems involves the following:

• High level of functionality and interactivity;
• Use of tethered pendants with operations brought to a tethered box;
• EtherCAT industrial Ethernet communications;
• High-end, precision motion control;
• Clean room working environment.
