Users can now redefine the software limits of individual joints. The robot will not be able to move outside these limits, and will generate an error if it starts from a position outside of the specified limits. This feature can help to define a safe robot workspace for your applications. Cartesian range limits are still in development and will be released as part of a future firmware release.
