You can phase in Hermes with bridges or use barcode\/RFID scan gates at conveyors to maintain traceability until full upgrades are feasible.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The standards landscape that drives conveyor requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of automatic PCB conveyors compliance is the interplay between mechanical transfer and digital handshakes. Two interfaces dominate machine-to-machine handover: legacy SMEMA (electromechanical signals) and the modern IPC\u2011HERMES\u20119852 protocol (Ethernet\/XML). On the factory backbone, IPC\u20112591 (CFX) carries richer, bidirectional messages, while IPC\u20112581 supplies product and process intent from design to MES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From SMEMA to Hermes: what changes and why it matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMEMA (IPC\u2011SMEMA\u20119851) uses simple, opto-isolated signals to indicate \u201cboard present\/ready\/transfer complete.\u201d It\u2019s ubiquitous and stable, but it carries no board identity or context. Hermes (IPC\u2011HERMES\u20119852) replaces the electrical handshake with TCP\/IP and XML, adding board identifiers, dimensions, and structured state handling. According to the official specification v1.6 (2024), messages such as SendBoardInfo, BoardForecast, StartTransport, and TransportFinished create a data-rich handover, enabling downstream systems to auto-select programs and maintain continuous genealogy across the line. See the state charts and message definitions in the official spec for the exact fields and flows in v1.6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IPC\u20112581 and CFX: how product data and event streams complete traceability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IPC\u20112581 (often called DPMX) is a neutral, machine-readable model that defines build intent\u2014layers, materials, reference designators, process notes\u2014so MES can bind a scanned or Hermes-propagated BoardId to the correct route and recipe. IPC\u20112591 (CFX) complements Hermes by emitting line-wide events and KPIs and by enabling standardized data exchange among machines and software. IPC notes that CFX and Hermes are designed to work together: Hermes orchestrates the board handover and identity, while CFX carries broader factory telemetry and control messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<colgroup><col \/><col \/><col \/><\/colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Aspect<\/p><\/th><th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>SMEMA (IPC\u2011SMEMA\u20119851)<\/p><\/th><th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>IPC-HERMES-9852 v1.6<\/p><\/th><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Physical layer<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Dry-contact electrical I\/O<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>TCP\/IP over Ethernet with XML<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Core signals\/messages<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Ready\/board present\/transfer complete<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>StartTransport\/StopTransport\/TransportFinished + message state charts<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Board identity<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Not supported<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>BoardId with metadata<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Board dimensions<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Not supported<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Width and Length fields available<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Hibakezel\u00e9s<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Timeouts\/sensor heuristics<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Structured states including Incomplete<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Traceability<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>External scans only<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>Line-native handoff of BoardId to downstream and supervisory systems<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: IPC\u2011HERMES\u20119852 v1.6 (official specification PDF; message definitions and state charts) and IPC resources describing CFX\/Hermes cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engineering conveyors to prevent handling damage and lift FPY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the deal: most avoidable FPY loss tied to handling comes from mechanical stress, misalignment, surface abrasion, and collisions.

Parallel rails reduce skew that leads to stops striking components or board edges.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Lock width-adjust settings and verify repeatability at changeover with gauge blocks or go\/no\u2011go tools. Document setpoints for common panel widths to minimize human error.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Maintain transport height uniformity along the line to avoid step changes.
