Robot Diagnostic Moves

Note –

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.

Note –

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.
