Integrating an in-circuit tester that supports IPC-CFX standards

Obtaining data from various machines on the production floor requires a standard language so information can flow from machine to machine. Standardization also supports machine-to-business / business-to-machine solutions and helps eliminate the need to execute data transformation or translation. Manufacturers need machines that can support IPC-CFX, an electronics manufacturing industry-developed standard that addresses this challenge.

Integrating IPC-CFX involves accessing the configuration settings on the in-circuit tester to establish communication parameters. This includes defining communication protocols such as messaging formats and data exchange mechanisms, ensuring alignment with IPC-CFX standards. The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol ensures point-to-point security and protection of the connection and information, letting mission-critical industry sectors, like the military, aviation, or medical, use CFX with confidence.

IPC-CFX-ready in-circuit test system

Industry 4.0 applications require in-circuit test systems that support IPC-CFX and other communication protocols such as MQTT, OPC-UA, and Panasonic’s iLNB. Keysight in-circuit test systems offer certified machine-to-machine capabilities, including the IPC-CFX and IPC-HERMES-9852 standards. These standards offer increased operation efficiency, greater test data insights, shorter response times, and reduced operating expenses. Machines and systems assemble your data to identify opportunities for improvement and generate alarms if something goes wrong or requires attention. Understanding trends and anomalies can also enable manufacturers to predict failures and take the appropriate actions to prevent them, thereby helping increase production efficiency.
