Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for automatic drive detection and control.
- jukeboxes With the increasing use of CDs, i.e. Co pact disks, collection magazines, so-called jukeboxes, are used, so that a new CD does not have to be used for every record change by hand. Typically, the jukeboxes are now equipped with multiple drives to meet the speed requirements.
- CD-ROM technology has continued to develop, and various types of CD drives are becoming available, for example of the CD-ROM, CD-Recordable, CD-Eraseable type, ie there are not only read drives, but also LOE ⁇ rule and / or write, also those which are described with lower and higher density.
- phase change technology has also been developed.
- a medium is used for data storage, which can be repeatedly brought from amorphous to crystalline state and vice versa by means of heat input. The heat is introduced using a laser.
- the invention has for its object to provide a system that enables the detection of the drive type and is suitable for use in a jukebox.
- a system for drive detection and control thus comprises one or more drives, each of which is provided with a printed circuit board which bears an identification identifying the drive as information, a connecting line between the printed circuit board and a control unit which controls the operation of the drive, and a device in the control unit that queries the drive identifier and sets the machine parameters accordingly.
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the detection system according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- the control of the jukebox recognizes the changed hardware and sets the machine parameters accordingly.
- an initialization procedure can be provided in which the jukebox checks the configuration of the existing drives after being switched on and sets the parameters accordingly.
- the connecting lines 8a to 8n lead to an adapter 9, from which a bus 10 leads to the control unit.
- the 3, the control lines 8a to 8n lead directly to the control unit 12.
