Robot Diagnostic Moves

This feature is available starting with SL500 firmware version 1026 and 

SL Console version 2.40. 

Diagnostic moves are used to monitor or diagnose a problem with a HandBot. The 

move can be performed with or without cartridges. 

Successful diagnostic moves do not rearrange the cartridges in the storage cells; 

cartridges are returned to their original locations after the diagnostic move is 

completed. However, some diagnostic move failures can cause cartridges to be left in 

new locations. 

A diagnostic move involves the following elements:

Target Address Range 

The target address range defines the location parameters in a library within which the 

get operation is performed in a diagnostic move. There are two types of access orders 

for a target address:

■

■

 

Following are valid target address types:

■

Storage cells—Reserves all the storage locations as the target range

■

CAP—Reserves the cells in the as the target/pool range.

■

Drive and Storage cells—Reserves all the drives and storage cells as the target/pool 

range.

■

System cells—Reserves the locations (reserved cells) containing the cleaning or 

diagnostic cartridges as the target/pool range. 

■

All—Reserves all storage cells, CAP and Drives as target/pool range.

Selecting the Storage, CAP, drive, system, or All option does reserve all the 

associated locations as the target range. However, only the location currently being 

accessed by the HandBot for a get/put operation is unavailable to the host.
