# SECS/GEM Compliance Audit An honest, per-capability accounting of which parts of SEMI **E5 (SECS-II)**, **E30 (GEM)**, and **E37 (HSMS)** this codebase implements, which parts it implements partially, and which parts it does not implement at all. > **TL;DR.** This is *not* a 100%-conformant GEM equipment. It implements > every **GEM Fundamental capability** except formal Documentation (S1F19–F22) > and the S9 error stream, plus most of the high-value **GEM Additional > capabilities** (Dynamic Event Reporting, Alarms, EC, Clock, Remote Control, > Process Programs, Terminal). Spooling, Limits Monitoring, Trace Data > Collection, Multi-block, and Material Movement are intentionally not yet > implemented. See the per-capability tables below for spec section refs. Legend: - ✅ **Full** — message/feature implemented; round-tripped in tests. - 🟡 **Partial** — implemented in the demo path but with documented limitations. - ⬜ **Not implemented** — intentionally out of scope for this iteration. --- ## 1. E37 — HSMS transport | Item | Status | Spec ref | Notes | |---------------------------------------|--------|----------|-------| | TCP transport | ✅ | E37 §6 | `hsms::Connection` (Asio). | | 4-byte length prefix + 10-byte header | ✅ | E37 §8.2 | `hsms::Frame::encode/decode`. | | Session ID, byte2, byte3, PType, SType, system-bytes | ✅ | E37 §8.3 | `hsms::Header`. | | `Select.req / .rsp` | ✅ | E37 §7.2 | `SType` 1/2; SelectStatus enum (0–3). | | `Deselect.req / .rsp` | ✅ | E37 §7.4 | `SType` 3/4; DeselectStatus enum (0–2). | | `Linktest.req / .rsp` | ✅ | E37 §7.5 | `SType` 5/6; periodic interval configurable. | | `Separate.req` | ✅ | E37 §7.6 | `SType` 9; graceful close after flush. | | `Reject.req` | 🟡 | E37 §7.7 | Emitted on data-while-NOT-SELECTED with reason 4; we don't yet reject on PType/SType-not-supported. | | Connection state machine NOT-CONNECTED → NOT-SELECTED → SELECTED | ✅ | E37 §6.3 | Both Active and Passive modes. | | T3 reply timeout | ✅ | E37 §10 | per-transaction `steady_timer`. | | T5 connect separation timeout | ✅ | E37 §10 | `Client::schedule_retry`. | | T6 control transaction timeout | ✅ | E37 §10 | single slot (no concurrent control transactions). | | T7 not-selected timeout (passive) | ✅ | E37 §10 | armed on connect / on Deselect.req. | | T8 intercharacter timeout | ✅ | E37 §10 | bounds the payload read after length prefix. | | Multi-host / multi-session | ⬜ | E37 §6 | single SELECTED session at a time. | | HSMS-SS vs HSMS-GS | ⬜ | E37 §11 | implemented HSMS-SS only. | --- ## 2. E5 — SECS-II encoding | Item | Status | Spec ref | Notes | |---------------------------------------|--------|----------|-------| | Format byte + 1/2/3 length bytes | ✅ | E5 §9 | `secs2::encode_into`. | | List (`L`) | ✅ | E5 §9.3 | recursive. | | ASCII (`A`) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | | | Binary (`B`) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | | | Boolean (`BOOLEAN`) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | | | `U1, U2, U4, U8` (big-endian) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | | | `I1, I2, I4, I8` (big-endian, two's complement) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | | | `F4, F8` (IEEE 754 big-endian) | ✅ | E5 §9.5 | bit-cast round-trip. | | JIS-8, C2 (Unicode) | ⬜ | E5 §9.5 | rarely used in modern fabs. | | SML text rendering | ✅ | E5 Annex | `secs2::to_sml`. | --- ## 3. E30 — GEM Fundamental capabilities (§5.2) | Fundamental Capability | Status | Spec ref | Messages | Notes | |---------------------------------------|--------|----------|----------|-------| | State models | ✅ | E30 §6.2 | — | Control state machine (5 states) + HSMS comm state. Equipment-processing state is left to the equipment app. | | Equipment Processing States | ⬜ | E30 §6.3 | — | Standard says equipment **may** model these; tool-specific.

S9F1/F3/F5/F7/F9/F11/F13 are now in the message catalog and round-trip-tested. `Connection` automatically emits **S9F7** when a peer's primary or reply body fails SECS-II decode (connection stays up; the caller of `send_request` sees `Error::IllegalData`), and **S9F9** when its outgoing request times out at T3 (alongside the existing `Error::Timeout`). **Not wired**: S9F3 (unknown stream) and S9F5 (unknown function) — these belong in the `Router`'s fallback path; today the fallback returns SxF0 only. | | Documentation | ⬜ | E30 §6.10| S1F19/F20 (GEM compliance), S1F21/F22 (data variable namelist) | Not implemented. | | Control (Operator-Initiated) | ✅ | E30 §6.2 | — | `ControlStateMachine::operator_online/offline/local/remote`. | --- ## 4.

ALCD bit-7 set/cleared, lower-7 category supported. | | Remote Control | ✅ | E30 §6.15| S2F41/F42 | Full HCACK 7-value enum + per-parameter CPACKs. | | Equipment Constants | ✅ | E30 §6.16| S2F13/F14, S2F15/F16, S2F29/F30 | **EAC range validation against min/max is NOT performed** — set always accepts a known ECID; this would reject out-of-range with EAC=4 in a conformant equipment. | | Process Program Management | 🟡 | E30 §6.17| S7F3/F4, S7F5/F6, S7F19/F20 | Unformatted PP send/request/list. **No E42 enhanced PP**, **no S7F23/F24/F25/F26 PP verify**, **no PPID validation**.

Demo evidence The two-container demo (`docker compose up --no-deps server client`) exercises this concrete sequence end-to-end: 1. TCP connect → `Select.req` → `Select.rsp(Ok)` → SELECTED on both sides. 2. `S1F13`/`S1F14` Establish Comms. 3. `S1F17`/`S1F18` Request Online; control state transitions `HostOffline → AttemptOnline → OnlineRemote`. 4. Server pushes `S10F3` welcome → host acks with `S10F4`. 5. `S1F11`/`S1F12` SVID namelist discovery → `S1F3`/`S1F4` SVID read. 6. `S2F29`/`S2F30` EC namelist → `S2F13`/`S2F14` EC read. 7. `S2F17`/`S2F18` clock read. 8. `S2F33`/`S2F34` Define Report 1000 over the 3 SVIDs (DRACK=0). 9. `S2F35`/`S2F36` Link CEIDs 200 and 300 to Report 1000 (LRACK=0). 10. `S2F37`/`S2F38` Enable CEIDs 200, 300 (ERACK=0). 11. `S2F41`/`S2F42` host command **START** (HCACK=0) → server emits `S6F11(CEID=300)` carrying the linked Report 1000 → host acks `S6F12`. 12. `S5F5`/`S5F6` list alarm directory. 13. `S5F3`/`S5F4` enable alarm 1 (ACKC5=0). 14. `S2F41`/`S2F42` host command **FAULT** (HCACK=0) → server emits `S5F1` (ALCD=0x84, set + cat 4) → host acks `S5F2`; server also emits `S6F11(CEID=200)`. 15. `S7F19`/`S7F20` recipe list, `S7F5`/`S7F6` fetch RECIPE-A. 16. `S10F1`/`S10F2` host → equipment terminal display. 17. `S1F15`/`S1F16` Request Offline; control state goes back to HostOffline. (CEID 100 ControlStateChanged emission is correctly *suppressed* because the host never enabled CEID 100 — this is the correct GEM behavior.) 18. `Separate.req` → clean close on both sides. Unit tests: **63 cases / 278 assertions pass** (`docker compose run --rm tests`). --- ## 7. What it would take to claim "100% GEM-compliant" The honest list, in priority order: 1. **Finish spooling**: S6F25/F26 spooled-data-ready notification, plus automatic activation when HSMS goes NOT-SELECTED (and automatic notification on re-SELECT) so the host doesn't have to manually flip the test-only `force_spool` flag. Optional: persistent on-disk spool so equipment restarts don't lose queued events. 2. **Finish S9 wiring**: route Router-level "unknown stream/function" through S9F3/F5, and emit S9F11 (Data Too Long) with the 4-byte length prefix in place of MHEAD when the incoming frame is oversized. 3. **Implement Documentation messages** S1F19/F20 (GEM-compliance) and S1F21/F22 (data variable namelist) — needed for E30 conformance. 4. **Implement EC range validation** in `set_equipment_constant_value` so out-of-range sets return EAC=4 instead of being silently accepted. 5. **Implement Limits Monitoring** (S2F45–F48, S6F45/F46) if the target equipment publishes monitored variables. 6. **Implement Trace Data Collection** (S2F23/F24, S6F1/F2). 7. **Implement S5F7/F8** list-enabled-alarms. 8. **Implement multi-block transfers** (S6F5/F6, S6F7/F8). 9. **Implement equipment processing state model** with operator hooks (E30 §6.3) — the abstract model is in E30 but the concrete states are equipment-specific. 10. **Run the implementation against a real conformance test generator** (Layer 4 of the implementation plan) on a representative tool. After all of the above, a GEM Reference Test specification (RTS) review would still be needed before any "GEM compliant" marketing claim could be honestly made.
