This Specification provides a standardized behavior for host view communication with production equipment during the coordination, execution, and completion of automated and manual carrier transfers to and from the equipment and, if it exists, its internal buffer space.
 

This Specification covers host and equipment communication for SEMI E15.1, 300 mm load ports.
 

This Specification defines standards that facilitate the host’s knowledge and role in automated and manual carrier transfers, as well as internal buffer equipment carrier transfers. Specifically, this Specification provides state models and scenarios that define the host interaction with the equipment for the following:
• Carrier transfer between automated material handling system (AMHS) vehicles and production equipment load ports.
• Carrier transfers to/from production equipment internal buffer space.
• Equipment and load port access mode switching.
• Carrier to load port association.
• CarrierID verification and Carrier slot map verification.
