Storage Cells
The LSM is configured by panel, column, row, and cell so that the LSM
management software can locate a cartridge. The LSM contains storage cells for
40, 60, 80, or 100 cartridges. Cartridges are stored in cell arrays that hold 6 or 14
cartridges, for a total of 20 cartridges per column. The columns are arranged in a
semicircle around the robot assembly. Figure 1–3 and Figure 1–4 show the cell
locations.
Note: The cell located at the top of Panel 1, Column 1, is a designated cleaning
cartridge cell if you have the AUTO CLEAN feature enabled, as described
in section “AUTO CLEAN Feature” at the end of this chapter. If you do
not, you can use that cell for a data cartridge. You can use the View Config
section of Figure 2–4 in Chapter 2 to determine whether the feature is
enabled.
The array targets are used for robotic calibration during IPL.
The drive and CAP locations are not used to store cartridges.
The FREE THROW designation below the CAP is the location where the
hand can extend itself as an IPL test.
