Dual Robot for high
availability
To greatly increase HP ESL G3 high availability, active/active dual robots are now available.. All currently
installed HP ESL G3 libraries are upgradeable to accommodate dual robots.
With the purchase of a dual robot kit, a Parking Module will be included and will need to be installed to the
left of the Control Module.
Beginning June 2012, there was a hardware change to both the Control Module and Expansion Module that
is notated with a "HW Revision 2" on the library management console (LMC).
The front panel of the ESL G3 library displays a HW Revision for reference. (If no HW REV is shown,
then by default it is HW Revision 1).
Libraries purchased and installed prior to June 2012 will continue to be supported and will continue
to purchase HW REV 1 expansion modules.
Libraries purchased and installed after June 2012 receive HW REV 2 control modules and expansion
modules.
All drives, licenses and other accessories are supported in both HW REV 1 & HW REV 2 Control
Modules and Expansion Modules.
Dual Robot Kits:
HW Revision 2 libraries should order product number B4J74A. This kit includes the 2nd robot and a
parking module.
HW Revision 1 will need to be converted to HW REV 2 and will need to order product number B4J75A.
(Includes gear rails, cables, and controller-board upgrades for both the Control Module and all
Expansion Modules, to allow a second fail-over robot to be added to ESL G3. Also includes two new
"Hardware Revision 2" robots and a Parking Module) Please reference the table below to ensure the
correct Dual Robot Kit is ordered.
