KUKA Robot KRC0460 - OPTION <option name> MISSING

OPTION <option name> MISSING

This alarm indicates that a required software option or license key has not been properly installed or activated on the KUKA KRC controller. The specified option is either missing from the system configuration or has not been entered into the controller's memory during initialization. This prevents the robot system from accessing functionality that depends on that particular option.

Common Causes

  • Software option license key not installed or activated in the controller
  • Option configuration file missing or corrupted in the controller's file system
  • Incomplete software installation or failed update process
  • Option not properly registered during system startup or power cycle
  • Hardware dongle or license authentication device disconnected or malfunctioning

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Identify the specific option name referenced in the alarm message from the controller display
  2. 2Verify that the required software option license is valid and has been purchased for your system
  3. 3Check the controller's option list in the system configuration file (typically found in KRC configuration menus) to confirm the option is registered
  4. 4Perform a complete system restart (power cycle) of the KRC controller to reinitialize all options and licenses
  5. 5Contact KUKA support with your system serial number and the specific option name to obtain and install the correct license key or configuration file
  6. 6If using a hardware license dongle, verify the device is properly connected to the controller and reinstall license management software if necessary
