Examples of Common
Configurations
The smallest library configuration consists of the control module only.
The minimal configuration contains one I/E station and one drive.
Note: This configuration applies to single-robot systems only.
The maximum Gen 1 library configuration is 12 frames and the
maximum Gen 2 library configuration is 17 frames. The maximum Gen 1
and Gen 2 single-robotics configurations are shown in
Figure 22 and
Figure 23.
The smallest dual-robotics library configuration is a three-frame system.
It consists of one control module, a left parking module, and a right
parking module. The minimum with an HDEM is a four-frame system
since an HDEM cannot be a parking module.
Note: This configuration is only available for a dual-robot setup.
The maximum library configuration is 17 frames. A dual-robotics
seventeen frame configuration consists of the control module, left
parking module, right parking module, and fourteen expansion
modules. The maximum dual-robotics configurations are shown in
Figure 24 and Figure 25.
