Abstract
Main Document:
SEMI E37-0308 (Reapproved 0708)
High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) Generic Services

This standard was technically approved by the global Information & Control Committee. This edition was approved for publication by the global Audits and Reviews Subcommittee on May 13, 2008. It was available at www.semi.org in June 2008 and on CD-ROM in July 2008. Originally published in 1995.

NOTICE: The designation of SEMI E37 was updated during the 0308 publishing cycle to reflect the reapproval of SEMI E37.1.

HSMS provides a means for independent manufacturers to produce implementations which can be connected and interoperate without requiring specific knowledge of one another.

HSMS is intended as an alternative to SEMI E4 (SECS-I) for applications where higher speed communication is needed or when a simple point-to-point topology is insufficient. SEMI E4 (SECS-I) can still be used in applications where these and other attributes of HSMS are not required.

HSMS is also intended as an alternative to SEMI E13 (SECS Message Services) for applications where TCP/IP is preferred over OSI.

It is intended that HSMS be supplemented by subsidiary standards which further specify details of its use or impose restrictions on its use in particular application domains.

High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) defines a communication interface suitable for the exchange of messages between computers in a semiconductor factory.

High-Speed SECS Message Services Single Selected-Session Mode (HSMS-SS)

HSMS-SS provides a means for independent manufacturers to produce implementations which can be connected without requiring specific knowledge of one another.

HSMS-SS is intended as an alternative to SEMI E4 (SECS-I) for applications where higher speed communication is needed.
HSMS-SS is intended as an alternative to SEMI E13 (SECS Message Services) for applications where TCP/IP is preferred over OSI as a communications basis.

High-Speed SECS Message Services Single-Session Mode (HSMS-SS) is a subsidiary standard to High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) Generic Services.

SEMI E37.2-95 (Reapproved 0303)
High-Speed SECS Message Services General Session (HSMS-GS)

HSMS-GS is intended to support the needs of complex systems containing multiple independently accessible subsystems such as cluster tools or track systems. Specifically, procedures are defined to permit access to any individual subsystem or set of subsystems within any complex system.

High-Speed SECS Message Services General Session (HSMS-GS) is a subsidiary standard to High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) Generic Services.
