Alarm KRC0134

KUKA Robot KRC0134 - RDW FILE <program name> NOT AVAILABLE

The KUKA KRC controller is unable to locate the RDW (Robot Data Wizard) program file that is specified in the RD_HWINF.INI configuration file. This prevents the controller from loading the required hardware information and calibration data during startup or program execution. The alarm indicates a missing or incorrectly referenced file path in the hardware information configuration.
