Module Configuration Block
Each module has an identification block with labels that identify the module
configuration. This block is on the lower rear wall in the fourth column from the left,
rows 49, 50, 51, and 52.
During an initialization or after an upgrade, the robotic assembly visits the module
identification block to determine the module configuration.
The block identifies the:
