Configuration Rules The Scalar i6000 is a highly configurable library. Standard configuration
rules are used for the placement of drives and modules. If specific
configuration requirements are needed, e.g. placing drives in specific
modules, then these requirements must be communicated before the
library/upgrade order is placed so all the components needed to support
the configuration are ordered and shipped. The standard configuration
rules are listed below (orientation is based on facing the front of the
library):
Minimum number of modules
• The minimum configuration for Gen 1 or Gen 2 library with a single
robot is one module: the Control Module.
• The minimum configuration for Gen 2 library with Dual Robots is
three modules: the Left Parking Module, Control Module and Right
Parking Module.
• The minimum configuration for a Gen 2 library with dual robots and
an HDEM is four modules: the left parking module, control module,
HDEM and right parking module.
Maximum number of modules
• A Gen 1 single-robot library can support up to 12 modules (CM +
11 DREMs/SEMs).
• A Gen 2 single-robot library can support up to 16 modules (CM +
15 DREMs/SEMs/HDEMs, HDEMs require gen2 electronics).
• A Gen 2 dual-robot library can support up to 17 modules (LPM +
CM + 14 DREMs/SEMs/HDEMs + RPM; HDEMs require gen2
electronics).
