If the Actual Position tags do not show these values, configure the Zero Angle 
Orientation parameters in the Coordinate System Properties dialog box for the 
joint or joints that do not correspond.     
If the Logix Designer application read-out values 
are: 
Set the Zero Angle Orientations on the Coordinate 
System Properties dialog box to: 
J1 = 10 
J2 = 80 
J3 = 5 
Z1 = -10 
Z2 = 10 
Z3 = -5 
The Joint-to-Cartesian reference frame relationship is automatically established by 
the Logix controller after the Joint coordinate system parameters (link lengths, 
base offsets, and end effector offsets) are configured and the MCT instruction is 
enabled.

Position the robot so that: 
•  L1 is parallel to the X3 axis. 
•  L2 is parallel to X1 axis. 
Program a Motion Redefine Position (MRP) instruction for all three axes with the
