I've had a search for this, but to no avail.
Using Roboguide, I am creating a sim using a M20iA-12L Manipulator on a R-30iB Controller.
During the initial setup phase in Roboguide, I get the opportunity to set Jt1 axis limits to either -/+ 170 deg or -/+185 deg.
My question now lies with a real world robot.
1. Does a real world robot, first time power up give me this option/same options Roboguide does (I haven't had the pleasure of unboxing a fresh new system yet).
2. If I select the -/+ 170 deg on Jt1, can I later change this to -/+185 deg, and if so how.
3. Can I reinitiate this 'startup' at any time.
4. Do the above come under the various 'cold and warm start' functions by any chance (This just came into my mind whilst writing this).
Any guidance towards this in terms of possibility, how, or a pointer to a specific manual I need to read would be very much appreciated.

Hmmmmmm…...I think I have found that majority of my answers in Roboguide and the System variables:
$PARAM_GROUP
- 1
- $LOWERLIMS
- $LOWERLIMSDF
- $UPPERLIMS
- $UPPERLIMSDF
I am now going to do some testing in these areas with file download, modification and reload within Roboguide and I think this will yield my answers.
If you have any other information regarding this, shorter way, alternative solutions, then please post, it would be very much appreciated.
A word of warning, playing around in these areas could result in serious damage/injuries as I assume any adjustment outside of specifications may result with incorrect kinematics being applied resulting in unexpected motions and collisions/damage/injury.
I am only looking at operating within the manipulator specification settings as outlined by Fanuc for the model intended.
