KRC0592

Common Causes

• DELAY value is negative or zero when positive value is required
• DELAY value exceeds the maximum permissible duration limit (typically 3600 seconds)
• DELAY parameter contains invalid data type (non-numeric or string value)
• DELAY value specified in incorrect units or without required unit declaration
• Variable assigned to DELAY contains uninitialized or corrupted value at runtime

Troubleshooting Steps

1. 1Review the KRL source code and locate all DELAY statements to verify numeric values are positive and within valid range (typically 0.001 to 3600 seconds)
2. 2Confirm DELAY syntax matches KUKA KRC standard format: DELAY(value) or DELAY(variable) with proper unit specification
3. 3Check that any variables used in DELAY statements are properly initialized before program execution with valid numeric values
4. 4Verify data type compatibility - ensure DELAY parameters are REAL or INT types, not STRING or other incompatible formats
5. 5Use the KUKA smartPAD or IDE debugger to monitor variable values at the point of DELAY execution to identify runtime value corruption
6. 6Consult the KUKA KRC programming documentation for system-specific DELAY parameter constraints and rewrite the instruction with compliant values
