Geometries with no orientation support
92 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-UM002F-EN-P - February 2018
To avoid issues with singularity positions, the MCT instruction internally
calculates the joint limits for the Delta robot geometries. When an MCT
instruction is invoked for the first time, the maximum positive and maximum
negative joint limits are internally calculated based upon the link lengths and
offset values entered on the Geometry and Offsets tabs in the Coordinate
System Properties dialog box.

During each scan, the joint positions in the forward and inverse kinematics
routines are checked to ensure that they are within the maximum and minimum
negative joint limits.
Homing or moving a joint axis to a position beyond a computed joint limit and
invoking a MCT instruction results in an error 67 (Invalid Transform position).
