SNARFProcess Control System (PCS) TFRevisions to SEMI E133, Specification for Automated Process Control Systems Interface and SEMI E133.1, Provisional Specification for XML Messaging for Process Control Systems (PCS)
Adjustments are needed to existing E133 and E133.1 standards content to better align with the XML guidelines document, as necessary. Technical changes are needed to clarify the implementation of the PCS analysis engine type. SEMI E133.1 still contain the term “Provisional” that is no longer used in SEMI Standards.

Special Announcements of the Committee (Workshops, Programs, etc.)
SEMI E54.9 to Inactive Status
At the North America (NA) Standards Spring 2014 Meetings, the NA I&C Committee agreed to allow SEMI E54.9 (Specification for Sensor/Actuator Network Communication for Modbus/TCP Over TCP/IP) to go into Inactive Status.

Note: Per section 4.2.19 of the SEMI Standards Regulations, Inactive Status is used to describe a Standard or Safety Guideline that is not currently supported by the global technical committee. Inactive Standards and Inactive Safety Guidelines are still available from SEMI. Inactive Standards and Inactive Safety Guidelines contain an ‘Inactive’ watermark, but will still be available in the ‘Current Standards’ section of the SEMI Web site.

Discontinued SNARFs
The NA I&C also approved the discontinuation of the following activities:

a) SNARF # 5003
Revisions to:
- SEMI E125, Specification for Equipment Self Description (EqSD)
- SEMI E128, Specification for XML Message Structures
- SEMI E132, Specification for Equipment Client Authentication and Authorization
- SEMI E134, Specification for Data Collection Management
For reliable messaging for EDA Standards

b) SNARF # 5100
Revision to SEMI E132, Specification for Equipment Authorization and Authentication. For introducing the new capability: client password

c) SNARF #5510
Revision to SEMI E157, Specification for Module Process Tracking. For corrections and to include more detailed explanation to improve future implementations of SEMI E157.
