With a focus on the specific requirements of the <\/strong><strong>semiconductor industry, WIKA has developed a line of robust UHP pressure transducers that fit in tight spaces and communicate over EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Factories in the U.S. and around the world <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/knowhow\/industrial-iot-services-and-smart-measurement-solutions-by-wika\/\">are getting smarter<\/a>. In the future, every single production plant \u2013 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/lp_aerospace.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">aerospace<\/a> and automotive to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/food_and_beverages.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">food &amp; beverage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/pharmaceuticals_and_biotechnology.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">pharmaceuticals<\/a> \u2013 will be equipped with a network of digital sensors, actuators, and controllers that link instruments, systems, and processes to each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increasing digitalization means that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/semiconductor_industry.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">semiconductor industry<\/a> has to make more chips to meet the growing demand. Adding to the pressure is a recent push from both the U.S. private and public sectors to manufacture more chips domestically. At first, onshoring semiconductor production arose from a desire to mitigate supply chain disruptions, thus the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Three years later, onshoring has become a way to avoid the turbulence and uncertainties around tariffs on imported chips.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, with the accelerating growth of cloud services, AI computing, and other powerful technologies, chips are becoming more complex and sophisticated. This makes it even more crucial to precisely monitor and manage the production process of these high-performance chips.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Advantages of EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Networking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the semiconductor industry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethercat.org\/default.htm\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> (Ethernet control automation technology) has long been the primary communication protocol for larger instrumentation and control systems. This fieldbus system is fast, flexible, and powerful enough for demanding applications. It also offers cable redundancy, which improves process reliability. In addition, hot-connect and hot-swap functions make it easy to maintain and repair instruments without taking the network offline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gHLVzSjSScE\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is increasingly moving to the transmitter level<\/a> as more semiconductor manufacturers use this digital interface to integrate smaller components, including pressure transducers, into control systems. High-purity gas applications have limited space for mounting measuring instruments, so compactness is key.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>EtherCAT Pressure Transducers for UHP Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">WIKA listens to the wants and needs of the semiconductor industry. <span>That is why we further enhanced <\/span><span><\/span>the state-of-the-art <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/wud_20_wud_25_wud_26.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">WUD-2x pressure transducer<\/a> family \u2013 already the smallest sensor of its kind on the market \u2013 for integration into EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0networks.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:336px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/files\/2025\/09\/wud-2x-e-series.jpg\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(from left) The WUD-20-E, WUD-25-E and WUD-26-E UHP pressure transducers with EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The market\u2019s first EtherCAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> pressure transducers are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/wud_20_e_wud_25_e_wud_26_e.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">WUD-20-E, WUD-25-E, and WUD-26-E<\/a>, each with a different process connection.
