Figure 4 on page 14 shows the LMU communicating with the LSM through LAN 0. In this 
illustration, LAN 1 is represented as the backup used in case of a LAN 0 failure. 

Note: The HSC can select either LAN for communications with the LSM(s). Whichever 
LAN is not picked becomes the backup. 

Within the LSM, the robot’s hands are positioned to the correct panel/row/column 
cartridge location. The external Tri-Optic label is verified by the robot’s vision system, the 
robot’s hand extends, and the hand grasps the cartridge from its storage cell. The robot’s 
hand retracts with the cartridge and the robot moves to the appropriate position.  

(PTP cell or transport). The robot hand extends and the cartridge is positioned and released 
at its destination (PTP cell or transport). 

If the destination is a PTP cell, the cartridge is made available to the adjacent LSM, and 
the process repeats until the cartridge is placed in a transport. 

An automated dismount is the reverse of the mount procedure. The LMU communicates 
with the LSM via the LAN, and the robot’s hands are positioned at the transport to be 
dismounted. The external Tri-Optic label is verified using the vision system. A hand is 
extended and the cartridge is grasped from the transport. The hand retracts with the 
cartridge and the robot is moved to the cartridge’s destination. The hand is extended and 
the cartridge is positioned and released into the storage cell.
