In addition, the monitoring module can check whether the data flow of the parameter entering the data server exceeds the processing capability of the error sensing module, and when the check result is true, start another error sensing module to assist in processing the Error analysis of parameters. Compared with the prior art, the error detection system of the present invention uses the monitoring module to monitor the operation of the error sensing module and restarts when the error sensing module is not operating normally. If the monitoring module attempts to restart the error sensing module - job: the number of still operating days U notification (four) end control instead of the error sensing module for error analysis of the parameter. In addition, the remote controller can also diagnose the error of the data by the handshake with the data server. In addition, the monitoring module can check whether the data flow of the parameter entering the data server exceeds the processing capability of the error sensing module, and initiate another error sensing when the check node P26164 PD0105 005101214 1306549 is true. The module assists in the analysis of errors in this parameter. Moreover, the monitoring module can also set an access number to the data server, and the error sensing module reads the parameter from the data server in batch mode according to the access number. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 illustrates an error detection system 10 of the present invention. The error detection system 1 includes a data server 14 for collecting parameters of at least one machine 12, at least one error that can be sent when the parameter exceeds a preset specification, and a sensing module 16 a monitoring module U that can be restarted when the error sensing module 16 is not functioning properly, and a remote control unit 14 for controlling the data server 14, the error sensing module 16 and the monitoring module 丨8 End controller 2〇. Preferably, the remote station 12, the data server 14, the error sensing module 16, the monitoring module 18, and the remote controller 2 are coupled to each other by a network. In addition, the remote controller 20 can be connected to the factory 3 (for example, a new factory) by another network 32, which includes another error detection system 10 and the machine 12, so that the factory 30 can pass through the The remote controller 2 shares the data and helps the plant 30 to establish process control capabilities in a short period of time. The remote controller 2 can also be used to diagnose whether the data server i 4 , the error sensing module 16 and the monitoring module 18 have an error.

The processing machine comprises a lithography stepping machine, an etching machine, a deposition machine, a flattening machine, a rapid hot place=machine, and an ion. Planting machine and so on. This parameter can be the raw data measured by the sensor of the machine, such as the physical measurement data of the process machine or the electrical data of the component to be tested measured by the measuring machine. P26164 PD〇i〇s 005101214 ^9- 1306549 FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate a method of managing the error detection system 1 of the present invention. The data server 14 receives and stores the parameters of at least one machine 12, and the error sensing module 16 checks whether the parameter exceeds a preset specification by using a last-in, first-out mode and exceeds the preset specification in the parameter. An abnormal signal is generated. In addition, the error sensing module 丨6 also updates a first access time when reading the parameters stored by the data server 14. Referring to FIG. 4, the monitoring module 18 checks whether the error sensing module 16 is operating normally and restarts when the error sensing module 16 is not operating normally. The error sensing module 丨6 updates a first access time when reading the parameters stored in the data server 丨4, and the monitoring module 丨8 can check whether the first access time is It is updated in a first interval to determine whether an abnormality has occurred in the error sensing module 16. If the first access time is not updated in the middle, the 5H monitoring module 18 then checks the stored value of a first counter, which records the number of restarts of the error sensing module 丨6. If. The stored value of the first four digitizers does not exceed a preset value (representing the maximum number of restarts of the error sensing module 16), and the monitoring module i 8 restarts the error sensing module 16 And increase the stored value of the first counter by one. In contrast, if the stored value of the first counter exceeds the preset value (that is, the monitoring module 18 has previously attempted to restart the error sensing module 16 but is invalid), the error sensing module 丨6 has The monitoring module 18 notifies the remote controller 2 to perform the error analysis of the parameter instead of the error sensing module ,6, that is, the remote controller acts as the error sensing. A backup device for the module. Referring to FIG. 5, the monitoring module 18 also updates a second access time when reading the first P26164 PD0105 005101214 • 10 - 1306549 access time of the error sensing module 丨6, and the remote access time is updated. The controller 20 can interrupt the error of the monitoring module 18 by checking whether the second access time is updated in a second interval. If the second access time is not updated in the first interval, the terminal controller 2 checks whether the stored value of the second counter exceeds a preset value (which records the restart of the monitoring module 18) ·•Enter the number). If the stored value of the second counter does not exceed a preset value, the δ remote controller 2 restarts the monitoring module 丨8 and increases the stored value of the second counter by one. In contrast, if the stored value of the second counter exceeds the preset value, indicating that the monitoring module 20 has not been operated, the remote controller 20 replaces the monitoring module 18 for monitoring, that is, the far The end controller acts as a backup for the monitoring module. In addition, the data server 14 can also calculate the incoming data traffic (ie, the number of parameters entered in a time of one k), and the monitoring module 18 can check whether the data traffic entering the data server 14 exceeds the error. The processing capability of the module 16 is tested and another error sensing module 丨6 is activated when the check result is true to assist in processing the analysis of the parameter. Preferably, it is determined whether the data flow entering the data server _ 14 exceeds the processing capability of the error sensing module 16 by checking whether the parameter stored in the data server 14 is read in a fourth interval. take. The remote controller 20 can also diagnose the error of the data server 14 by the handshake with the data server 14, that is, the remote controller 2 can also transmit a detection nickname to the data servo. Then, it is checked whether the data server 丨4 is returned in a second interval to confirm the signal, thereby determining whether the data server 14 is operating normally and diagnosing the error of the data server 14. Furthermore, the P26164 PDoi〇5 005101214 1306549 monitoring module 18 can also set an access number to the data server i 4, and the error sensing module 16 batches the number according to the access number. The data server 14 reads this parameter. If the data flow entering the parameter of the data server 〖4 exceeds the processing capability of the error sensing module, the monitoring module 丨8 can enhance the error sensing module by raising the value of the access number. 6 analysis efficiency. Compared with the prior art, the error detection system of the present invention uses the monitoring module to monitor the operation of the error sensing module and restarts when the error sensing module is not operating normally. If the monitoring module attempts to restart the error sensing module for a predetermined number of times, it is notified that the remote controller replaces the error sensing module to perform error analysis of the parameter. In addition, the remote controller can also diagnose the error of the data server by the handshake with the data server. In addition, the monitoring module can check whether the data flow of the parameter entering the data server exceeds the processing capability of the error sensing module, and activate another error sensing module to assist in processing the parameter when the check result is true. Error analysis. Moreover, the monitoring module can also set an access number to the data server, and the error sensing module reads the parameter from the data server in batch mode according to the access number.
