Doing this aligns the Y-rails with the Y-rails of the module beneath it.
i. Repeat these steps for each expansion module you are installing.
4 Install the control module.
a. Open the control module’s I/E station door and access door.
b. Lift the control module and place it in the desired location.
c. If stacking the control module on top of another module, secure the two modules together by
tightening the two thumbscrews at the base of the front1 of the module and the two
thumbscrews located at the base of the back of the module. Then lower the module’s guide pin
(located at the base of the front of the module) by turning it and pushing it down.
d. Tighten all thumbscrews located at the base of the front and back of the modules.
e. Use the rack ears to fasten the control module to the rack. For instructions, see “Installing the
Rackmount Kit” in the Scalar i500 User’s Guide.
5 Unpark the robot assembly.
a. Gently raise the robot assembly so that it no longer rests on the parking tab.
CAUTION
Check to make sure that there is no gap between the top and bottom
Y-rails on both the front and back of the library. If a gap exists, the
library cannot mechanically initialize.
CAUTION
Support the robot assembly by holding onto the broad metal X-axis
plate. Lifting the robot by the thin metal rod will bend the rod.
