Configuring Carriers
9.5.5.1 Labware Carrier Attributes
The attributes which you can configure for labware carriers are as follows:
Tab. 9-25 Labware carrier attributes
Field name Default value Description
Grip orientation narrow (narrow side) This field specifies whether the RoMa should
grip labware on this carrier on the narrow side
or wide side. If you specify “narrow”, make
sure that you have created a “Move Narrow”
RoMa vector for this carrier (vice versa for
“wide”) a) .
Lid is allowed no (not allowed) Specify “yes” if a lid is allowed on labware
which is on this carrier.
Location to store lid
Allowed robots
(original position
of labware)
If lids are not allowed on labware which is on
this carrier, the lid will be removed from the
labware and moved to the location specified in
this field. b)
Comma separated list of all plate robots that
can safely access this location (e.g. “RoMa,
RoMa2”). The robot names are case sensitive.
If this field is left empty, Freedom
EVOware assumes that all plate robots can
safely access this location. The list may be
necessary if e.g. the carrier is positioned at
the extreme left or extreme right of the worktable.
SafeMoveOffset 0 X-offset in mm for safe LiHa movement to and
from the pipetting position (see 17.4 “Safe
Pathways Feature”, 17-14).
SafeMoveSpeed
Speed to use for movements along safe paths
in mm/s (see 17.4 “Safe Pathways Feature”,
17-14).
Safety 1 Only for the MCA384 DITI Carrier:
1 = Close the locking mechanism when
mounting DITIs from the MCA384 DITI Carrier.
0 = Do not close the locking mechanism.
ZTravel - Only if you choose Positioning with advanced
Z-travel in the Configuration Tool (see
8.4.2.11, 8-34). If the ZTravel parameter is
non-zero, it is used for Z-travel height instead
of the taught Z-travel height.
a) If you specify “narrow” and the physical orientation of the carrier site is landscape (e.g. the “MP 3 Pos”
carrier), the RoMa will grip the labware from the side of the worktable (with the grippers pointing in the
direction X or -X), not from the front (vice versa for “wide”).
b) Broadly speaking, the lid attributes in the labware definition specify how to grip the lid; the lid attributes in
the carrier definition specify where to store the lid if it is removed.
