Scalar 100

Internal Components

The robotic system and magazines are the key internal components of the Scalar 100.

Robotic System and Barcode Scanner

The robotic system identifies and moves cartridges between the storage slots, tape drives, and the

Mailbox. The robotic arm (picker) has picker fingers that enable it to grab media cartridges and

move them into position along X, Y, and Z motion coordinates.

Each tape cartridge contains a barcode that is read by the barcode scanner during the inventory

process. The barcode scanner is also used during the teaching process where it reads the fiducial

labels to identify the types of storage and tape drives installed in the library.

Every tape cartridge must have a machine and operator-readable barcode label attached to it. This

barcode identifies the volume serial number (volser). The library stores the physical location of the

tape cartridge in an inventory database based on the volser. All library or host requests reference

the location of tape cartridges based off of this barcode number.

Tape Magazines

Tape cartridges are stored in removable magazines in the library. You cannot insert cartridges

improperly. The magazines only accept tape cartridges placed the correct orientation. Once

inserted, the tape cartridges will be retained in the magazine even when the magazine is inverted

and shaken lightly.

Each magazine has a fiducial barcode label at the bottom of the magazine. This label is read by the

barcode scanner during a teach process.

Slot Numbering

Every slot in the library has a distinct number that identifies it. The format is: column/magazine/slot.

The values are assigned as follows:

• The columns are numbered 1 to 5 clockwise from the mailbox column.

• The magazines within each column are designated A to C from top to bottom.

• The slots are numbered as follows:

• The slots within each magazine are numbered 1 to N from top to bottom (where N is

the number of tape cartridges allowed for that media type).

• The fixed slots in columns 2, 4, and 5 that do not have a magazine designation are

always numbered 0. For example, the coordinate for the fixed slot in column 2 would

be “2 - 0”.

NOTE:

For reference, the location for the picker is identified as [0 @ 0] on the Operator

Panel.
