Travel Limits

Change the individual robot joint travel limits from their standard
settings to limit robot joint travel. These software-defined joint limits
(soft stops) are intended to protect the robot joints from colliding with
custom workcell hardware and to provide a safety buffer so that the
joint does not travel to a physical hardstop.

To access the travel limits configuration page, select a joint node in the
system tree view.

Hand Control
Signals

View and/or modify the digital output signals used to control the
opening and closing of the robot hand. The available signals include
both the digital output signals and software signals.

To access the hand control signals configuration page, select a robot
node in the system tree view. Then, choose the Hand Control tab in the
Configuration view.

Workcell Obstacles

Define workcell obstacles to avoid, or areas in which the robot tooltip
must work. You can define up to six of these obstacles or areas.

To access the workcell obstacles configuration page, select a robot node
in the system tree view. Then, choose the Workcell Obstacles tab in the
Configuration view.
