10. HandBots move to an empty slot detection area (the slot under the bar code insert,

in the 3-cell array at the front of the customer interface module) to verify proximity

sensor accuracy. During normal operation, if an empty slot is detected, the “empty

slot detector” sensor is activated; non-labeled cartridges are also detected.

11. Belt-driven reach mechanism initializes by a wrist motion, pointing the hand to an

aisle position, and reach components are then verified.

12. Gripper, reach, and scanner initialization is accomplished at the three cell array

section:

a. If there is no cartridge in the gripper, the initialization continues.

b. If a cartridge is in the hand, the hand moves to the drop-off slot, the cartridge is

placed in the slot, and gripper initialization continues.

Note –

Cartridge drop-off slots are the bottom slots in the 3-cell arrays and the top

fixed array slots under the PTP locations leading to a total of 16.

13. Hand points toward the rear of the library.

14. End status sent to HBC card.

Note –

If any hand or robotic error cannot be resolved by error recovery routines, the

entire HandBot must be replaced.

HandBot Numbering

Rails are numbered from 1 (top rail) to 4 (bottom rail). They are also designated as

separate library storage modules (LSMs) within a library.

As examples:

■

Rails 1 and 2 can be designated LSMs for HSC, while rails number 3 and 4 can be

designated LSMs for ACSLS.

■

If only one host exists, all rails become separate LSMs for that host.

See

for more details.

HandBots have the following numbering:

1. Library number (within a library complex)

2. Rail number – Rails are numbered 1 through 4, rail 1 is the top rail

3. Column number – Columns are “signed” numbers referenced from the customer

interface module, where +1 is right of the center of the drive bays and -1 is to the left

of the drive bays

4. Side number – Outer wall = 1, Inner wall = 2
