About this guide

2Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

About this guide

This guide summarizes the operator instructions in the Labware MiniHub User

Guide.

This guide assumes the following:

•The Labware MiniHub is installed correctly. For installation instructions,

see the Labware MiniHub Safety and Installation Guide.

•The device profile for the specific Labware MiniHub configuration is

already created and the teachpoints are already set. For setup instructions,

see the Labware MiniHub User Guide.

•You are familiar with the VWorks Automation Control software. See the

VWorks Automation Control Quick Start. For detailed instructions, see the

VWorks Automation Control User Guide.

If you are using another lab automation system software, see the user

documentation for that software.

For user information about related products, you can search the product

knowledge base or download the latest version of a PDF file from the Agilent

Technologies website at www.agilent.com/chem/askb.

Safety information

Before using the Labware MiniHub, your organization should make sure that

you are properly trained in:

•General laboratory safety

•The correct and safe operation of the Labware MiniHub

•The correct and safe operation of lab automation systems or components

used in combination with the Labware MiniHub

For general safety precautions, intended product use statement, and the list of

safety labels, see the Automation Solutions Products General Safety Guide.

For detailed safety information regarding the Labware MiniHub, see the

Labware MiniHub Safety and Installation Guide.

WARNING Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than

those specified in the user documentation can expose you to moving-parts hazards and

hazardous voltage. Before using the Labware MiniHub, make sure you are aware of the

potential hazards and understand how to avoid being exposed to them.

Hardware components

Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

Hardware components

The following diagram shows the main components of the Labware MiniHub:

Item Name Description

1Base Gray structure at the bottom of the MiniHub that

attaches the MiniHub to the target surface. The base

contains the power and communication connections

and hosts the indicator lights.

2Shelves Flat area on which you can place labware. Locating

pins at the edges of the shelves hold the labware

securely in place.

3Spacers Metal spacing blocks that you can add or remove at the

center of the hub.

Two types of spacers are available:

•25.1- mm spacers. Stacked between shelves to

accommodate different labware heights.

•8.4- mm spacers. Stacked above the top- most shelf

to fill the space between the top- most 25.1- mm

spacer and the cassette cap. These spacers ensure

a tight assembly and are only necessary when a

subset of the shelves are used.

4Cassette cap Metal label with numerical identification of each

cassette. The numbers are used in Labware MiniHub

Diagnostics and in VWorks software.

Indicator lights

4Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

Indicator lights

At the base of the Labware MiniHub are two indicator lights. One light

indicates power status, the other light indicates error conditions.

Turning on and turning off the Labware MiniHub

The following procedures describe how to turn on and turn off the Labware

MiniHub. For instructions on how to turn on and turn off a Labware MiniHub

that is part of a workstation, see the workstation user documentation.

5Cassettes Columns of shelves. The MiniHub consists of four

cassettes, each identified by the number on the

cassette cap.

6Black knob Component at the top of the MiniHub that locks the

spacers and shelves in places.

Item Name Description

POWER

ERROR

Name Description

Power Indicates whether the power is on or off. When the

green light is on, the power is on. When the green

light is off, the power is off.

Error Indicates whether an error is encountered. When the

red light flashes, an error has occurred. When the

red light is off, the Labware MiniHub is operating

normally.

Using Labware MiniHub Diagnostics in the VWorks software

Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

The Labware MiniHub does not have a power switch. You turn on and turn off

the device by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. If it is integrated in

a workstation, you use the Automation Control Unit to turn on and turn off

the device.

Turning on the Labware MiniHub

To turn on the Labware MiniHub:

Connect the male end of the Labware MiniHub power cord to an appropriate,

grounded power source. The Labware MiniHub rotates slowly to its factory- set

home position.

If the Labware MiniHub is integrated in a workstation, see the workstation

user documentation.

Turning off the Labware MiniHub

To turn off the Labware MiniHub:

Disconnect the power cord from the power source.

If the Labware MiniHub is integrated in a workstation, see the workstation

user documentation.

Using Labware MiniHub Diagnostics in the VWorks software

This topic explains how to control the Labware MiniHub using Diagnostics in

the VWorks software. For information on controlling the Labware MiniHub

using diagnostics in the Encore Multispan software, see “Using MiniHub

Diagnostics in the Encore Multispan software” on page 14.

About Labware MiniHub Diagnostics

The Labware MiniHub Diagnostics software has two tabs: Controls and Profiles.

You use the commands in the Profiles tab to establish communication with the

Labware MiniHub. You use the commands and parameters available in the

Controls tab to control or move the device.

If you are using a different automation software, call the VWorks ActiveX

ShowDiagsDialog method to open Labware MiniHub Diagnostics. For details,

see the Labware MiniHub User Guide.

CAUTION The Labware MiniHub will rotate during the startup process. Obstructing the

Labware MiniHub while it is rotating will cause an error.

Using Labware MiniHub Diagnostics in the VWorks software

6Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

Opening Labware MiniHub Diagnostics

In the VWorks software Devices area, select the Labware MiniHub name, and

then click Device diagnostics.

Initializing the Labware MiniHub in Diagnostics

Before you use Labware MiniHub Diagnostics to operate the Labware MiniHub,

you must initialize an appropriate MiniHub profile to:

•Establish communication with the Labware MiniHub.

•Load the profile information

Using Labware MiniHub Diagnostics in the VWorks software

Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

To initialize a profile in Labware MiniHub Diagnostics:

1In the Profiles tab, select the desired profile in the Profile name list.

2Click Initialize this profile to establish communication with the Labware

MiniHub and load the profile information.

Checking the MiniHub’s current position

About the Cassette value

The Cassette value in the Controls tab indicates the cassette that is currently

facing the robot. For example, a Cassette value of 3 indicates that cassette 3 is

facing the robot. A dash (—) indicates that the MiniHub is between cassette

positions.

About the Position value

The Position value in the Controls tab indicates the position of the MiniHub

relative to its home position. Position values range from 0–360°,

counterclockwise from the home position. The Cassette values correspond to

the following position values:

CAUTION The Labware MiniHub will rotate during the initialization process. Obstructing

the Labware MiniHub while it is rotating will cause an error.

Cassette Position value

1, or home 0°

2 90°

3 180°

4 270°

Using Labware MiniHub Diagnostics in the VWorks software

8Labware MiniHub Quick Guide

If the MiniHub is between cassette positions, other position values will be

displayed. For example, if the MiniHub is exactly between cassette 1 (0°) and

cassette 2 (90°), the Position value is 45°.

Procedure

To check the current position of the Labware MiniHub:

In the Controls tab, check the values in the Cassette and Position boxes.

Enabling and disabling the motor

Disabling the MiniHub motor allows you to rotate the MiniHub by hand. You

might want to do this when you:

•Set the home position.
