SECTION 3 - OPERATION PROCEDURES – 650 CONTROLLER
GENERAL
The 650 controller will operate with two types of spin motors. The standard performance
motor drive is designated 650M and the high performance motor (HPD-2) is designated
650H. Only the HPD-2 motor has bidirectional rotation and agitation capability.
This
difference is more fully explained later in this section (see section 3.4.3.1 Acel –
Standard Drive).
All operational controls are interfaced through the spin processor’s membrane switch
keypad and the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). There are 4 operation modes available to
the user. They are; “Select Process”, “Run”, “Edit” and “Info”. The capabilities of the
650 controller are greatly enhanced with the Spin 3000 software. Certain set points and
configurations can only be assigned through Spin 3000. Figure 3-1 is an example of the
“Run Mode” screen. Relevant information specific to the operation mode selected is
displayed. (See Section 3.3 – “Keypad” for illustrations.)
Figure 3-1
RUN MODE DISPLAY
Lists of process programs are available in the “Select Process” mode. Up to twenty (20)
process programs, containing up to fifty-one (51) steps each can be permanently stored
in non-volatile memory in the 650 controller. Many more programs can be stored in
Spin 3000. When an operation mode key is pressed, such as “Select Process” or
“Run”, all active keys LEDs’ become illuminated. When the “Run” operation is selected
the operation mode/program name, step-of-steps, vacuum status, set point time,
agitation rate, actual wafer rpm, set point rpm and spin rotation direction, valve, sensor
and type status and processor’s status for each step of a program are displayed. In the
“Edit Mode” each program step includes: operation mode/program name, step-of-steps,
vacuum status, set point time, agitation rate, set point rpm and spin rotation direction,
acceleration rate (acceleration / deceleration rate is shown in edit mode only) and valve,
sensor and type status. The “Info“key when pressed provides information on
“Statistics”, “Configuration” and “About” the spin processor.
