Cartridge Slot Locations

Library Walls

The SL8500 library has two walls:

The Inner walls has 14 slot arrays.

The Outer walls use various sizes of arrays consisting of:

■13 cartridge slots (allowing space for the robotic rails)

■8-slot arrays placed within the future PTP areas and underneath the stop brackets for the service safety door

■4-slot arrays used on sections that are cutout for each future PTP

■3-slot arrays at the ends of all rails; these slots are reserved for robotic end stop labels (top slot), proximity calibration (middle slot), and drop-off slot (bottom slot)

There are also 4-slot arrays for each elevator and turntable assembly.

Service areas are located on each, front side of the customer interface module; these areas are reserved for non-functioning HandBots and do not interfere with cartridge GET or PUT operations by the functioning HandBots. Currently, arrays installed within the service areas (198 slots) are reserved for diagnostic and cleaning cartridges only.

Cartridges placed in arrays lie flat, hub down, and parallel to the floor. To prevent slippage, cartridges are held in their slot by internal retainer clips. Each array has two targets centered vertically to accommodate the different sizes and depths of cartridges.

Aisle space between arrays is limited to 0.5 m (18 in.). Due to the built-in redundancy of components, entry into the library beyond the maintenance area should be infrequent.

AES uses the Rijndael algorithm, officially replacing the Triple DES Method. AES encryption can be done in one pass instead of three and its key size is greater than Triple Desís 168 bits. One of two privacy encryption protocols, AES is a stronger form of encryption than DES see also “Data Encryption Standard”.
