E84 PI/O Optical Transceiver

Note on Transmission Orientation

Transmission Orientation defines the direction of the IR transmission window. This is dictated by the installation style determined by the Fab, based on the AMHS vehicle type they are using.

Using the product image at the top of this page:

“Side-On” orientation has the IR transmission coming out of the screen towards the viewer. The front “side” of the optical transceiver (showing the P/N and indicator LEDs) would face the delivery vehicle’s internal optical transceiver.

“Head-On” orientation has the IR transmission coming out the top of the unit, towards the viewer’s ceiling. The “head” of the optical transceiver would point to the delivery vehicle’s internal optical transceiver.

Details

Get Control's (GCI) sensors are the preferred solution for E84 optical communications. GCI's full line of PI/O transceivers are fully compliant and are compatible with other manufacturers' sensors that conform to the SEMI® Standard E84. Leading 300mm FABs, OEMs, and EFEM manufacturers choose the GCI sensor for its superior reliability and stability. Its over-molded DB-25 connector is high-pot tested, providing a superior alternative to the crimp-on style connector used on some manufacturers' sensors. GCI transceivers are fully SEMI® compliant and are CE and UL certified.

• SEMI® E84 compatible parallel input and output sections.

• Meets SEMI® E15 interface sensor unit exclusion volume requirements for 300mm applications.

• 100% optical and mechanical compatibility with DMS and DMG series optical data transmission devices.

• Status indicator LEDs for input, output, and go signals and optical transceiver power.

• Higher quality and lower cost compared to competing products.

As an alternative to the standard parallel I/O, GCI provides the RJ-11 Optical Transceiver. RJ-11 allows greater flexibility for installment of the transceivers, while retaining compatibility with the parallel interface.
