Node cards

Physical node cards within the library control all aspects of the library's operation.

For TS4500, node card types include the motor driver assembly (MDA), the accessor control card (ACC), and the library control card (LCC). The MDA is used to control the motors on the accessor. The ACC is used to control the grippers and motors on the accessor. The LCC is used to control all library behavior and coordinate action between the drives and other node cards.

For Diamondback, node card types include the robot control card (RCC) and the library control card (LCC). The LCC controls all library behavior and coordinates actions between the drives and the other components. The RCC controls the motors and gripper on the robotic accessor.
