SEMI-GAS Systems, a provider of ultra-high purity gas delivery equipment, expanded the capabilities of its GigaGuard GSM controller to include PLC operation of 6, 7 and 8 stick gas distribution systems. This new controller provides fully automatic purging capability and gas management from a single source to multiple points of use, as needed in semiconductor and LED manufacturing applications.
Used in conjunction with the SEMI-GAS Nanoturion Valve Manifold Box, the GigaGuard GSM Controller is designed for the safe and continuous distribution of hazardous process gases. It supersedes the previous model with modern PLC technology and enhances the GigaGuard GSM line of semi-automatic and fully automatic distribution controllers.
The adaptable new controller offers adjustable alarm set points and user-configurable inputs and outputs to maximise customisation for each application. In addition, the GSM controller features a modern 4.3” colour touch screen with easy-to-use software prompts and alarms, helping reduce operator error and increase safety.
The GigaGuard independently operates ESO valves, monitors analogue and digital process sensors, displays delivery pressures, maintains alarm logs and continuously monitors system operations for hazardous conditions. All GigaGuard controllers meet SEMI S2, SEMI S8 and uniform fire code requirements as required for the safe handling of hazardous process gases.
