3.4 Area of Application
This information applie s to the entire AML/E system.
Further safety instructions for components used in the equipment are not invalida-
ted by these instructions.
Information
Other manufacturers’ documentation forms an integral part of the AML/E
documentation.
3.5 Intended Audience/Authorized Persons
For Your Safety
3.5.1 Intended Audience
This manual is only intended for operators of the AML/E system. Consequently,
the hazard alert messages apply only to the operation of the equipment.

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
3.6.3 Operating Modes of the AML/E System
Operating mode "AUTO"
In the "AUTO" mode the host computer controls the AML/E system.
WARNING!
For Your Safety
!
Movements of components in the archive can cause serious injury.
In "AUTO" mode nobody must be inside the archive.
Before starting "AUTO" operation ensure nobody is in the archive.
The archive access interlock is active when the main switch is on. The guards are
activated when the luminous push-button <CONTROL ON> is pressed.
page 3 - 8 Operator Guid e 599 DOC C00 003
For Your Safety
!
Operating mode “EMERGENCY”
“EMERGENCY” operation is intended for
• manual input and output of media
• manual operation of drives
• manual movement of storage towers
In this operating mode only personnel entered in the system logbook (tr ained personnel and specialists) may work inside the archive.
WARNING!
In this operating mode the door lock of the archive is not active.
a) Lock the main switch in position “OFF”
b) Carefully guard the key or keep it with you always.
The handling unit is shut down.
The Quadro tower interlocks are inactive.
599 DOC C00 003 Operator Guide page 3 - 9
3.6.4 Guard Door of Quadro Tower
In the “AUTO” operating mode the guard door of the Quadro tower
• must be open (AML/2-System).
• must be closed (AML/E-System).
The guard door is locked when the Quadro tower moves.
In the AML/E system it can be opened only in “EMERGENCY” operating mode.
Informa tion fo r AML /2 tw in systems
If both robots are to run in the “AUTO” operating mode the guard doors on
both sides must be open.
If one robot is to run in “AUTO” and the other in “MANUAL” the guard
doors on the side with the rob ot running in “MANUAL” must be closed.
