[. . . ] The AMU consists of hard- and software. Hardware IBM PS/2 · operating system OS/2 with Extended Services · interfaces to - host computer - robot control - storage tower control - I/O unit Software The software consists of seven individual processes running in parallel (multi-tasking). · HOC (HOst Communication) Communication wiht - host computers - control ofand the storage towers · ARC (ARChive) management of the archive catalogue; SQL data base · KRN (KeRNel) central logic, converts host commands into control commands · CON (ABBA Operator CONsole) operator console · ART (AleRTer) writes logs und traces · RFM (Rho File Manager) transfers files (control software) between the AMU and the rho control · ARCBACK (ARChiv-BACKup) saves, protocols (journaling) and restores the archive catalogue (database) Page 4 - 2 Operator Guide 1097 DOC B00 001 About The AML/2 System Tasks of the AMU · Host communication - interprets commands from the host - checks these commands for executability · Archive catalog management - stores the logic coordinates of the compartments - assigns media to the compartments - keeps track of the status of compartments and drives - stores values for statistic evaluation · Converts the logic coordinates into physical coordinates · Communicates with the control units of the robot and the storage towers · Operator interface - for initial operation - for service - for the operator · Configuration (describes the specific structure of the archive) Information The AMU does not register the data content of media. 1097 DOC B00 001 Operator Guide Page 4 - 3 About The AML/2 System 4. 2. 2 Robot System The robot system acoomplishes the mechanical access to the physical archive and the drives. It executes the commands of the AMU and sends a feedback signal to it. Functions · identifies media by reading the barcode · carries out the handling commands (e. g. Mount, Keep . . . ) Components of the robot system · · · · · · swivelling arm robot (Bosch turboscara SR 80 G) gripper with camera (barcode scanner) lifting platform lifting column carriage track 4. 2. 3 Archive The archive stores the media The archive is divided into compartments. Logical coordinates define the position of each compartment in the archive. Each medium in the system is identified by a barcode label with volser. The assignment of this number to its logical coordinates is stored in the archive catalog.

The robot takes the media from the handling boxes and files them in the archive or mounts them on drives. Turning units The two turning units work independently of one another. The turning units move the handling boxes from the operator side to the side accessed by the robot system.

The operator only · adds or · removes media from the archive and · mounts · removes non-system media ( "I/O Unit (Handling)" page 5/38). All AMU commands of the service menu are to be used only by service personnel and are password protected. When the system fails the operator can process media in the "EMERGENCY" operating mode. Procedure for hand operation: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) switch off the equipment and secure it against switch on enter the archive shift the robot and stretch the robot arm remove the crank of the archive access door using the crank, rotate the storage tower into position remove the medium mount the medium in the drive 1097 DOC B00 001 Operator Guide Page 5 - 1 Operating The AML/2 System 5. 1 Operating Elements 5. 1. 1 AML/2 Operating Panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 5 Fig. 5-1: AML/2 Operating Panel (2 operating mode selector switches on twin systems only) 1 Main switch (lockable) Switches the main power supply WARNING!Hazardous Voltage The following are not controlled by the main switch: · · · · drives AMU processor service power-socket lighting <CONTROL OFF> lights up when the controller is ready to operate but not active.
