SOLENOID BANK WITH STANDBY SOLENOID VALVES FOR CONTROLLING PNEUMATIC VALVES OF A SUBSTRATE PROCESSING SYSTEM

A fluid control system for a substrate processing system includes (M + N) inlets configured to fluidly connect to (M) solenoid valves and (N) standby solenoid valves, respectively, where (M) and (N) are integers greater than zero. (M) outputs are configured to be fluidly connected to (M) pneumatic v...

Zusammenfassung:A fluid control system for a substrate processing system includes (M + N) inlets configured to fluidly connect to (M) solenoid valves and (N) standby solenoid valves, respectively, where (M) and (N) are integers greater than zero. (M) outputs are configured to be fluidly connected to (M) pneumatic valves. A valve switching system is configured to selectively block (1) to (N) of the M inlets corresponding to (1) to (N) failed ones of (M) solenoid valves, respectively, and supply fluid from (1) to (N) of the (N) standby solenoid valves to (1) to (N) of the (M) outputs corresponding to the (1) to (N) failed ones of (M) solenoid valves, respectively.
