AUTOMATED LIBRARY OF DATA WITH UNIVERSAL SOCKETS (VARIANTS) METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME (VARIANTS), AND ALSO SIGNALS CARRIER AND LOGICAL CIRCUIT FOR REALIZATION OF METHOD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G06F17/30 

FIELD: engineering of automated libraries for data storage with loading, unloading and movement of data carriers.

SUBSTANCE: library contains robotized transporting device, for moving data carriers, and multiple universal sockets with means for connecting accumulators positioned in sockets or other devices to transporting device, to which commands from main computer are sent for moving data carriers. Robotized device is programmed for recognition, whether each socket is free or occupied with a certain component, such as an accumulator or command port, and following realization of appropriate communication with component occupying the socket.

EFFECT: decreased hardware costs with adjustable configuration and use of different system components.
