SEMI E54.9 - Specification for Sensor/Actuator Network Communication for Modbus/TCP Over TCP/IP -

Abstract

This Standard was technically approved by the Information & Control Global Technical Committee. This edition was approved for publication by the global Audits and Reviews Subcommittee on May 13, 2008. Available at www.semi.org in July 2008; originally published February 2000; previously published July 2006.

This Standard defines a communication specification based on the Modbus/TCP protocol over a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network to enable communications between intelligent devices on a sensor/actuator network (SAN) that operate according to SEMI specified device models (common and device specific) in a semiconductor manufacturing tool.

　

Modbus/TCP over TCP/IP is a component level network which provides a simple, inexpensive, and fast means of exchanging data among control level industrial devices (e.g., sensors and actuators) and higher level devices such as controllers. Modbus/TCP over TCP/IP provides:

• A solution to low-level device networking,

• Access to intelligence present in low-level devices,

• Networking between higher level controllers, and

• Master/Slave and Peer-to-Peer communication capabilities.

　

Modbus/TCP specifies a communication model and protocol. The Physical, Data Link, and Network Layer definitions are defined by the network in which the Modbus/TCP protocol is embedded such as TCP/IP Ethernet.

　

This Document enables communications between intelligent devices on a SEMI compliant SAN by providing a presentation mapping of common and specific device network visible structure and behavior to Modbus/TCP over a TCP/IP network.

 

This Document specifies the protocol and services that compliant intelligent devices must support to exchange information over this semiconductor equipment sensor/actuator network.

　

This Document specifies the utilization of the Modbus/TCP protocol to present externally visible device structure and behavior, specified in the Common Device Model (CDM) and appropriate Specific Device Models (SDMs), for the Modbus/TCP protocol over a TCP/IP network.

　

This Document is used in conjunction with a SEMI Standard SAN Common Device Model specification, one or more SEMI Standard Specific Device Model (SDM) specifications (e.g., for a mass flow device), the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide and the Open Modbus/TCP Specification. Together, they describe the Modbus/TCP protocol, the externally visible data structures and behaviors of devices utilizing the Modbus/TCP networking capability in a SEMI compliant SAN system.
