Ejecting Cartridges through the CAP
When you want the robot to eject cartridges from the LSM through the CAP, use
the LSM management software to enter the
of the cartridges you require. The robot will retrieve them and place them into
the CAP.
If the LSM operator panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLK DISABLD,” the CAP is
locked by the LSM management software. Issue the command using the LSM
management software that puts the LSM in the “ONLINE - PRESS EXE TO UNLK
CAP” mode. Then perform the steps below.
To unlock the CAP so that you can open the CAP and remove cartridges from it:
1. Press EXECUTE on the LSM operator panel.
a. The LSM operator panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLK PENDING.”
b. The hand unlocks the CAP.
c. The LSM operator panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLOCKED.”
2. Open the CAP to gain access to the cells.
3. Remove the cartridges or the array from the CAP.
4. Properly store the cartridges outside the LSM (refer to “Storing Cartridges” in
Chapter 4 ).
CAUTION:
Do not slam the CAP. Cartridges could become unseated and extend out
into the path of the robotics, causing severe damage to the robot hand.
5. Close the CAP. The lock automatically engages.
6. Repeat these steps until all the desired cartridges have been removed.
Replacing the Cleaning Cartridge
The following paragraphs pertain to an LSM that has the AUTO CLEAN feature
enabled. You can use the View Config section of
Figure 2-4 to determine
whether the feature is enabled.
If the feature is not enabled, you will need to record the number of times a
cleaning cartridge has been used, and replace it when necessary.
When a cleaning cartridge has been used a number of times, as defined in
“Setting Cleaning Cartridge Count” in Chapter 2 , the LSM operator panel
displays “CLEANING CARTRIDGE USED UP.” If your machine has AUTO
CLEAN enabled, use the procedures in the following sections to replace the
cartridge.
