3.6 Guards

The system is equipped with the following guards:
• monitored access to the archiv e
• <EMERGENCY STOP> button on the front of the I/O unit
• monitored guard door to the Quadro tower

3.6.1 Access to the Archive

The archive is completely enclosed in a housing. The only access to it is a monito­red guard door . The interlock is active when the main switch has been switched on.
The guard door cannot be opened in operating mode “AUTO”. The housing around the archive serves as a separating guard. It separates the dan-
ger area of the AML/E system from the normal working area. The danger area (archive) of the AML/E-Systems is the area in which persons
could be injured due to hazardous movements of the robot the handling unit or the storage towers.
Hazardous movements can be:
• expected movements
• unexpected movements
WARNING! In the archive movements of components can cause seriou s inj u ry. Access to this area is therefore restricted to authorized persons. Persons who
have not been trained in the use of the system may only enter the archive under supervision.
Access to the library is permitted only
• System is provided with a plug on the power supp ly cord (type „B“), disconnect system with the supply plug
• after switching off the reset switch and
• securing it against being switched on again Unauthorized persons are especially at risk in the danger area since they
• are not trained in operating the system
• are not aware of the hazards
• cannot correctly appraise the reactions of the system
599 DOC C00 003 Operator Guide page 3 - 5

3.6.2 <EMERGENCY STOP> Buttons

Information The yellow luminous push-but ton <CON T ROL OFF> on the operating pane l
has the same function as the <EMERGENCY STOP> button.
All <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons (I/O unit …) have the same function: EMER­GENCY STOP switches off t he output electronics. All movements of the handling unit and the storage towers stop immediately.
When persons or property are at risk immediately press the nearest <EMER­GENCY STOP> button.
Moving parts stop at once.
For Your Safety
WARNING! Hazardous Voltage!
Pressing an <EMERGENCY STOP> button will not render the entire AML/E system voltageless. Only the drive amplifiers are switched off.
Emergency stop does not switch off:
• the control units of the handling unit and the storage towers
• the AMU processor
• the drives
• the compressed air supply Cut the power supply to these components at a suitable point (e. g. connecting plug
or switch)!
page 3 - 6 Operator Guid e 599 DOC C00 003
For Your Safety
!
AT TENTION! If the <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons are freq uen tly used contrary to their
purpose, just to stop the system, this ma y lead to:
• increased wear of mechanical parts
• damage to electronic and electric components of the AML/E system
Do not use the <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons to stop the normal operation of the AML/E system.
Stop the system only with the appropriate AMU or host computer commands ( HACC/ROBAR)!
ADIC/GRAU Storage Systems will not be responsible for damages caused by improper use of the < EMERGENCY STOP> buttons. The risk lies entirely with the user.
WARNING! Movement of components inside the archive can cause serious injury. Before releasing the <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons and before starting the
AML/E system, ensure that the start will not endanger persons or property!
599 DOC C00 003 Operator Guide page 3 - 7

• <CONTROL ON> switches off
• <CONTROL OFF> lights up
WARNING! Dangerous voltages!
Pressing an <EMERGENCY STOP> button will not render the entire AML/E system voltageless. Only the drive amplifiers are switched off.
Emergency stop does not switch off:
• the control units of the handling unit and the storage towers
• the AMU processor
• the drives
• the compressed air supply Cut the power supply to these components at a suitable point (e. g. connecting plug
or switch)!
page 5 - 2 8 Operator Guide 599 DOC C 00 003
Operating The AML/E System
AT TENTION! If the <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons are freq uen tly used contrary to their
purpose, just to stop the system, this ma y lead to:
• increased wear of mechanical parts
• damage to electronic and electric components of the AML/E system
Do not use the <EMERGENCY STOP> buttons to stop the normal operation of the AML/E system.
Stop the system only with the appropriate AMU or host computer commands ( HACC/ROBAR)!
599 DOC C00 003 Operator Guide page 5 - 29

5.5.2 Starting after an EMERG ENCY STOP

System media

System media have a Volser. The handling unit identifies the medium by its barcode label and reports the volser to the AMU.

Foreign (non-system) media

Non-system media do not have volsers readable for the AML/E system.
• They are not identified by a barcode label.
• They are not accepted into the archive. Non-system media are always located in compartments reserved for non-system
media in the handling boxes. They are processed directly from these compart­ments.
ATTENTION! The compartment number and the input at the AMU must be identical.
page 5 - 3 2 Operator Guide 599 DOC C 00 003
Operating The AML/E System
Be sure to place the media in the right compartments of the handling box.
Non-system media receive a symbolic volser. Symbolic volsers begin with an "*" and are registered in the AMU archive catalog. The symbolic volser for the first compartment thus is "*FR001".

Cleaning cassettes for BS2000/ROBAR

Cleaning cassettes do not need a barcode label. They are stored in defined com­partments of the archive.
Cleaning cassettes must be stored in the archive for each drive. After a predefined number of cleaning cycles (e. g. 500) the host computer automatically sends a command to eject them ( documentation of interface software).
Cleaning cassettes receive a symbolic volser in the archive catalog.
The symbolic volser is “*CL....”. It can be attached to the cassette on a barcode
label. This will simplify the replacement of cleaning cassettes . A cleaning cassette can then be stored with the ROBAR command “IN *CL…” .

Cleaning cassettes for MVS/VM/VSE users

The cleaning cassettes do not have a barcode label. Cleaning cassettes must be stored in the archive for each drive. After a predefined
number of cleaning cycles (e. g. 500) the host computer automatically sends a command to eject them ( documentation of interface software).
ATTENTION! When you replace a cleaning cassette put the barcode label of the old cassette
onto th e new cassette! Otherwise the system will not recognize the cassette as a cleaning cassette.

Fast input

In a first input cycle only the defined fast input compartments are querried.
599 DOC C00 003 Operator Guide page 5 - 33

5.6.2 Ejection of Media

The ejection command is send by the host computer. The handling unit places the media in the handling boxes in the I/O unit.
When the host controlled ejection is complete you can remove the media or the handling boxes.
The further operating procedure is identical with insertion (page 5/31).
