Loader/Library Interface
Connector
5
The connector for the library/tape drive interface is an RS-422 serial port
set to 9600 baud, 8 bits per character, no parity, and 1 stop bit. All data
sent to or from the library/tape drive interface consists of bit-wise
encoded hex values.
This 10-pin loader connector provides the signals used when the tape
drive is part of a loader/library configuration. The loader connector
provides a “universal port” that can support various serial interface
protocols. The electrical signals from the DLT-S4 tape drive need to be
translated to the appropriate serial interface protocol by a hardware and
software interface system.
The Loader/Library Controller interface conforms to the T10 Committee
Automation/Drive – Transport Protocol (ADT) Specification (see
www.t10.org).
