KUKA Robot KRC0566 - Range for <path> <axis number> exceeded
This alarm indicates that a position or distance value for the specified axis has exceeded the maximum range that can be represented in a 32-bit signed integer word (±2,147,483,647). This typically occurs when attempting to move an axis beyond its software limits or when accumulated position commands result in a value overflow in the path planning module.

KUKA Robot KRC0566 - Range for <path> <axis number> exceeded
Range for <path> <axis number> exceeded
This alarm indicates that a position or distance value for the specified axis has exceeded the maximum range that can be represented in a 32-bit signed integer word (±2,147,483,647). This typically occurs when attempting to move an axis beyond its software limits or when accumulated position commands result in a value overflow in the path planning module.
Common Causes
- Axis position command exceeds ±2,147,483,647 units (typically millimeters or degrees)
- Incorrect or missing axis calibration causing erroneous position calculations
- Software limit configuration set incorrectly or not properly defined for the axis
- Accumulated incremental movements without proper position reset causing integer overflow
- Corrupted or out-of-range values in the axis parameter configuration file
Troubleshooting Steps
- 1Verify the target position value is within the physical and software limits of the specified axis by checking the robot's technical documentation
- 2Review and reset the axis home position using the calibration procedure to ensure accurate position tracking
- 3Inspect the axis software limit parameters in the $CONFIG.DAT and axis-specific configuration files to confirm proper range settings
- 4Clear any accumulated position errors by performing a power cycle and complete system reinitialization of the KRC controller
- 5Check the motion program for any unconditional loop structures or position accumulation logic that could cause overflow conditions
- 6If the issue persists, contact KUKA service to verify the 32-bit data type allocation in the kernel and consider firmware updates if available
