Dual-Robot Configurations and Parking Modules

A dual-robotics library requires Gen 2 robotics hardware. A dual-robot

library requires, at a minimum, a control module, a left parking module,

and a right parking module. See

Figure 16.

For a dual-robot library that includes an HDEM, it requires, at a

minimum, a left parking module (shipped with dual-robots), a control

module, an HDEM and a right parking module.

The left and right parking modules have the same size and appearance

as standard expansion modules, but they function differently. Each

parking module contains a “parking space” in which the respective left

or right robot resides when not in use. The parking space occupies four

magazine columns which cannot be used for storage.

The left parking module is located to the left of the control module in

position zero. It is referred to in the user interface as “module 0.” The

left parking module does not contain tape drives, I/E stations, or power

supplies. The control module supplies it’s power. If you are upgrading to

dual-robotics, you will receive a left parking module to add onto your

existing system (the LPM and second robot ship together when ordering

the Dual Robot option). This increases your system size, so you must

take this into account when planning for an upgrade.

The right parking module is a converted SEM or DREM and is the right-

most module in the system. As with standard expansion modules, in i11

the right parking module may contain a maximum of 12 drives, power

supplies, and up to one 24-slot I/E station no matter how may frames

make up the library. The only restrictions are that right parking modules

may not contain a 72-slot I/E station and an HDEM cannot be used as a

right parking module.

If you are upgrading a single-robot library to a dual-robot library, the

existing right-most expansion module can, in most cases, be converted

into a right parking module. However, if the existing right-most

expansion module contains a 72-slot I/E station or is an HDEM, you will

need another module to be added to the right of your system which

becomes the right parking module. If space considerations prohibit the

addition of another module, then the right-most module will be

swapped with another module in the library that does not contain a

72-slot I/E station. For more information on upgrading an existing
