Some robots also have an offset defined for the J3 joint. Account for this value
when computing the X3e end effector offset value. If the value for X3e offset is
entered as the sum of X3e1+X3e2 (-3+1.5 = -1.5), the configured value for X3e
is -1.5.

The Articulated dependent robot contains motors for the elbow and the shoulder
at the base of the robot. The dependent link controls J3 at the elbow. Follow these
guidelines when configuring an Articulated Dependent robot.
Before turning ON the Transform and/or establishing the reference frame, do the following for the joints of the target
coordinate system:
• Set and enable the soft travel limits.
• Enable the hard travel limits.
Failure to perform these steps can cause robotic arm to move to unexpected positions causing machine damage and/or
injury or death to personnel.
