Gen 2 Single Robotics Upgrade Requirements
If you are upgrading a Gen 1 library to a Gen 2 single-robotics library,
please understand and address the following requirements before
Service arrives to do the upgrade:
Requirement
Scalar i6000 — Scalar i2000 libraries must be upgraded to
Scalar i6000 before upgrading to dual robotics.
Gen 2 — Dual robotics libraries use the Gen 2 robot. If you
are upgrading from a Gen 1 system, the hardware and
robots need to be upgraded to Gen 2. You cannot add a
second robot to a Gen 1 system.
No DLT tape drives, media, or magazines — Dual
robotics libraries do not support DLT tape drives or media.
Remove these from the library before the upgrade.
Sufficient physical space — The dual robotics library
upgrade requires a left parking module to be installed to
the left of the control module. Make sure you have
sufficient space for the additional module. If this will
require moving the library, ensure the new space is
prepared, ready, and level prior to the upgrade.
Note: The minimum dual-robot configuration consists of
three modules (left parking module, control
module, and right parking module).
No 72-slot I/E station in right-most module — The right-
most module of a dual-robotics system cannot have a 72-
slot I/E station. If your current right-most expansion
module contains a 72-slot I/E station, notify your Sales
representative so that an additional module can shipped
and installed on the right end of the system. (If you do not
have space for an additional module, then Service will
swap your right-most module with an existing module in
the library that does not contain a 72-slot I/E station.)
