Racks and workplace areas on the drawer
Depending on the customer configuration, one or multiple workplaces can be assigned for a
single drawer. A workplace can be a part of a single rack, a single rack or multiple racks.
Thus, you can see distinct sections of the drawer shown on screen when multiple workplaces
have been setup.
2-42: Drawer with two separate
workplace/rack areas
2-43: Drawer with one
workplace/rack area
The rack symbols also have the function of a button. After pushing the drawer into the input
sorter, it cannot be manually pulled out again. By pressing on a rack symbol however, the
drawer can be ejected and its processing information deleted.
Individual tube positions
A small square is used to represent an individual tube position in the rack/workplace area.
Status unknown, position has not been reached by the gripper.
Status known, position has been reached by the gripper and the tube
has been taken when necessary.
NOTICE
Since the individual buttons (small squares) in the diagram are very small, it is not convenient to
operate the touchscreen with your finger. In this case, you should use the stick and the right stick
button on the keyboard instead.
