| 2009 / June || SiLA presented the status of the consortium’sconsortium′s standardisation efforts and current projects at the annual Toolpoint CEO Event. SiLA General Interface Specification (Part I) submitted to the SiLA Membership for review. A team of 12 specialists from 8 different SiLA member companies joined their efforts to develop this specification.

| 2009 / July || The first device class interface specifications for incubators and washers / dispensers were finalized.

Line 102:

So far SiLA has defined about 30 device classes and a command library with about 100 commands. Commands range from mandatory commands that are needed to make transitions in the state machine, over required commands for the specific device class, to optional commands for which not every device in the device class might provide the functionality. In addition guidelines for the implementation of supplier-specific device commands and parameters are provided.

Some commands are applicable for almost every device class. For example the commands SetParameter, GetParameter, ExecuteMethod are widely used. Also PrepareForOutput and PrepareForInput are common because they enable the transport mechanisms to transfer labware items from device to device. The mandatory commands include operations like Reset, Initialize, Abort and Pause. In addition also locking a device for exclusive use is provided.
