The Global Standard for Machine-to-Machine Communication in SMT Assembly
1 SCOPE
The aim of this specification is to create a state-of-the-art communication protocol for surface-mount technology (SMT) production lines. Therefore, this new communication protocol has to cope with the following:
• Replace the electrical SMEMA interface as specified in IPC-SMEMA-9851
• Extend the interface to communicate (including):
• Unique identifiers (IDs) for the handled printed boards
• Equipment identifiers of the first machine noticing a printed board
• Barcodes
• Conveyor speed
• Product type specific information (including):
• Product type identifier
• Length
• Width
• Thickness
