Abstract:
A system and method provide for monitoring and controlling fluid flow in semiconductor manufacturing apparatuses. The method and system include a vortex flow meter coupled to a digital readout that displays the measured flow rate and trip point. The flow meter display includes input devices used to adjust the trip point. The system and method provide for sending signals via a custom relay to the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus which is adapted to terminate a processing operation or change the fluid flow if the trip point is tripped. The system and method also provide for sending an electrical signal to a computer by way of a data acquisition unit and a converter. The converter converts the signal to a communication protocol consistent with the computer network and provides fluid flow information and trip point data as a function of time to the computer which then displays such data graphically.

Claim (Index 7):
The fluid loop monitoring and control system as in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one data acquisition unit and a converter and wherein said at least one data acquisition unit is configured to convert an analog electrical signal from said flow meter display to an RS-485 signal and wherein said converter is configured to convert said RS-485 signal to a RS-232 signal.
