Abstract: A leveled system architecture (100) of figure 5 includes multiple level processors and/or controllers that control each other and ultimately the system components. The host level controller (56) includes a host processor, the level-1 controller (52) includes the master controller, the level-2 controller (54) includes four controllers (54a, 54b, 54c and 54d) and the level-3 controller includes one or more controllers that interface between the level-2 controllers and the system components. The motors, pumps, and the valves are controlled by the level-3 controllers, which are programmed in C and typically are not changeable the state records, which a processor engineer accesses to control the operation of the second and the level-2 controllers (52, 54), wherein the system executes a process by identifying a set of states to be executed, issuing state commands that need to be issued to execute the current state in the set of states.

Abstract: In a chiller (10), an apparatus and method for automatically identifying a temperature probe (14) for use in a chilling operation is provided in order to reduce user error. In the place of manual selection by a user, automatic selection of the appropriate temperature probe (14) is accomplished by comparing the temperature of the given temperature probe to a threshold temperature. An additional apparatus and method for filtering a displayed compartment temperature is provided to reduce user confusion. The responsiveness of the displayed temperature to temperature changes in the compartment (12) is reduced when the compartment door (13) is opened.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control method, in which the setting for a setting device (5), comprising a device (9) for reporting the setting, is regulated in a range between two end positions by using a measured parameter, given by the device (9) for reporting the setting, depending on the setting of the setting device and a characteristic curve, whereby, during the regulation a set value or an actual value for the setting is monitored. The characteristic curve is adapted when the set value or the actual value for the setting lies within a given separation from a given value for an adaptation setting.

Abstract: Automated systems and methods for processing substrates (11) are described. An automated processing system includes: a vacuum chamber (18); a substrate support located inside the vacuum chamber and constructed and arranged to support a substrate during processing; and a substrate alignment detector constructed and arranged to detect if the substrate is misaligned as the substrate is transferred into the vacuum chamber based upon a change in a physical condition inside the system. The substrate alignment detector may include a vibration detector coupled to the substrate support. A substrate may be transferred into the vacuum chamber. The position of the substrate may be recorded as it is being transferred into the vacuum chamber. Misalignment of the substrate with respect to the substrate support may be detected. The substrate may be processed. The processed substrate may be unloaded from the vacuum chamber. The position of the processed substrate may be recorded as it is being unloaded from the vacuum chamber. Any substrate misalignment may be compensated for based upon the difference in the recorded substrate positions.
