Cimetrix CIMControlFramework 7.0

Cimetrix CIMControlFramework (CCF) by Cimetrix, Inc. is a production-proven, .NET-based software framework for building equipment control systems in semiconductor and related high‑tech manufacturing. Designed for OEMs and system integrators, it provides an extensible, object‑oriented architecture that shortens development time while helping tools meet rigorous fab connectivity and reliability requirements.

Key capabilities include:

• Equipment control and coordination: scheduler, state machines, material handling, recipe and process management, alarms, and data collection.
• Factory connectivity and standards compliance: built‑in support for SEMI standards such as SECS/GEM, GEM300, and EDA/Interface A, with seamless integration to Cimetrix connectivity products.
• User interface and visualization: Windows-based HMI built on C#/.NET and WPF for modern, customizable operator experiences.
• Integration with devices and subsystems: motion control, robotics, I/O, PLCs, and vision systems via common industrial interfaces (e.g., OPC).
• Development accelerators: reusable components, sample applications, equipment simulators/emulators, robust logging, diagnostics, and error recovery tools.

CCF helps manufacturers and equipment makers deliver reliable, standards-compliant tools faster, whether for wafer fabrication, metrology, inspection, assembly, or other advanced electronics manufacturing environments.
