Abstract: Systems and related approaches for monitoring the notification rate of live alarms being presented to an operator in the presentation tool. The number of notifications being received is counted and managed as a rate due to the update frequency of the tool. In some embodiments, when the number of notifications received exceeds a threshold, an indicator is presented to the operator alerting them to the abnormality. The operator may then examine the system as necessary to locate the source of the abnormality.

Abstract: A substrate processing system comprises a substrate processing apparatus, an information storage server and a support computer, which are connected to a network respectively. When the substrate processing apparatus causes a failure, an alarm processing part extracts a necessary relevant log file and stores the same in a hard disk of the information storage server. A failure information generation part generates failure information, which in turn is finally stored in the hard disk of the information storage servers as a failure information database. An apparatus information uncasing part renders the relevant log file and the failure information database readable from the support computer located in a remote place. Thus, the relevant log file and the failure information database can be immediately read. In other words, provided is a substrate processing system rendering operation information immediately readable from a remote place when the substrate processing apparatus causes a failure.

Abstract: A substrate processing system comprises a substrate processing apparatus and a support computer, which are connected to a network respectively. Updated countermeasure information is accumulated in the support computer by a system administrator. When the substrate processing apparatus causes a failure, content of the failure is displayed on a display part while an alarm processing part controls process according to an alarm definition file. Further, a countermeasure information acquisition part requires updated countermeasure information against the failure from the support computer. In response to this, countermeasure information distribution part of the support computer transmits updated countermeasure information. Thus, updated countermeasure information can be read instantly when a failure occurs.
