MACSiM allows you to prepare for new equipment integration into the factory automation environment without utilizing tool or factory time before the equipment is installed. Pre-integration activities can be planned and tested in parallel with other factory preparation activities for new equipment, such as process integration or fab preparation. Using MACSiM streamlines new equipment integration into the factory automation system.<\/P>\n<P><IMG style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: #000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000 1px solid; MARGIN: 10px 0px 10px 10px; BORDER-LEFT: #000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000 1px solid\" height=235 src=\"http:\/\/www.cimac-us.com\/images\/stock-macsim.jpg\" width=300 align=right>MACSiM allows you to emulate a variety of “round trip” scenarios by modeling equipment behavior using message responses and notifications built from data in SECS message logs. MACSiM round trip scenarios can be built using values associated with many equipment and processing variables, such as timing, recipes, reports, alarms, materials, process jobs, job control, substrate tracking, and equipment configuration, combined in a simulated environment that emulates dynamic equipment behavior.<\/P>\n<P>FabVi is a highly realistic emulated fab environment for MES regression testing built on MACSiM functionality. FabVi allows the user to automatically launch multiple instances of MACSiM to simulate the automation software interface to the fab for the purpose of MES system validation: <\/P>\n<UL>\n<LI>Regression testing \n<LI>Load testing \n<LI>Stress testing \n<LI>Performance testing \n<LI>Robustness (e.g., memory leaks) \n<LI>Concurrency (e.g., race conditions & deadlocks) <\/LI><\/UL>\n<H3>MACSiM Benefits<\/H3>\n<UL id=macsim>\n<LI>Intelligent equipment emulation \n<UL class=macsimbenefit>\n<LI>Automatically captures equipment behavior<\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<UL>\n<LI>Real equipment emulation \n<UL class=macsimbenefit>\n<LI>Translates actual equipment SECS message logs<\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<UL>\n<LI>Operational scenario editor \n<UL class=macsimbenefit>\n<LI>View\/edit scenarios with Windows Explorer style GUI<\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<UL>\n<LI>Step-by-step scenario viewer \n<UL class=macsimbenefit>\n<LI>Real-time scenario debugging tool<\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<UL>\n<LI>Run multiple MACSiMs simultaneously \n<UL class=macsimbenefit>\n<LI>Engineers can simultaneously debug multiple EMs<\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<H3>FabVi Functions and Features<\/H3>\n<UL>\n<LI>Intelligent equipment emulation \n<LI>Multiple simultaneous instances \n<LI>Common emulation configuration user interface (or direct data base access) \n<LI>AMHS dispatch and material placement emulation \n<LI>FABSiM GUI \n<UL>\n<LI>Recipe and job status (lots & carriers on tool) \n<LI>Color mapping (e.g., idle, running and blocked) \n<LI>Tool identification by location (e.g., area &lt;&gt; tool type &lt;&gt; tool) \n<LI>Start and stop (on-line and off-line) \n<LI>Access to common emulation configuration UI <\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL>\n<P>For more information on this product or other cimac products,&nbsp;please <A href=\"http:\/\/www.cimac-us.com\/form\/informationrequest.asp\">click here<\/A><\/P>");
