Measuring Up to SEMI Standards SEMI F47 Voltage Sag Protection SEMI S2 Safety SEMI S2 is a broad-based standard that dictates the safety On average, wafer processing plants experience large power requirements for a semiconductor manufacturing tool. While Altivar 58 TRX Drives Preventa Safety Relays disturbances more than once a quarter and voltage sags of more than 50% in magnitude several times a month. The result: millions of dollars of lost production, hundreds of thousands of dollars of wafer damage per outage and days of non-productive tool time while equipment is recalibrated and qualified. In order to combat these power quality issues, semiconductor manufacturers require their OEMs to comply with the SEMI F47 Voltage Sag Protection standard. compliance with this standard is achieved by a thorough safety review of the entire machine by an independent third party, you can assure yourself that your design will pass the S2 audit the first time by using Schneider Electric s broad line of machine safeguarding solutions, which have been verified to meet the requirements of SEMI S2 compliance. Our Preventa family of machine safeguarding products includes the SEMI S2-approved EMO Pushbutton TeSys D-line Contactors Reactivar ESP Schneider Electric has pre-tested many of our common control components to assure our OEM customers that tools new XPSMC Safety Controller. ISO13849-1 rated as required by SEMI S2, the XPSMC is the perfect brain for your sophisticated TeSys F-line Contactors Phaseo DC Power Supplies designed with our control products will satisfy your end-users requirements. In addition to products such as our Low-Voltage Ride Through Modules and Electronic Sag Protectors designed specifically to address sag issues, OEMs can select components such as contactors, relays, DC power supplies, and AC drives with confidence that your initial designs will be able to stand the SEMI test and ride through critical voltage sags. fail-to-safe equipment control system. Designed for applications requiring multiple safety functions to be performed simultaneously, the XPSMC Safety Controller enables you to meet your specific safety needs according to the requirements of your machines while saving significant rack space and cost by consolidating the function of multiple safety devices into a single safety controller device.
