Agileo Automation SECS/GEM library available under Linux

Agileo Automation has validated on Linux operating system (Ubuntu 12.04) his SECS/GEM software library to communicate between a semi-conductor equipment and a MES. As the library is written in pure C# without Microsoft Windows specific code, it has been straightforward to run the library and its tester under Linux using Mono, an open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework.

Using Mono API it is possible to interface Agileo Automation SECS/GEM library with a pure Linux application written in plain C to :

• Send Collection Events
• Update Status and Data Variables
• Set/Reset Alarms
• Receive Remote Commands

and access all features supported by Agileo Automation SECS/GEM library through a custom C# wrapper.
A sample integration project on Linux has been developed.
