What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0693?

Parameter count mismatch between EXT and DEF declarations of the same function. Parameter data types differ between the external declaration and the function definition. Parameter passing method (BY VALUE vs BY REFERENCE) differs between EXT and DEF. Function return type is declared differently in EXT versus DEF. Whitespace, naming convention, or syntax errors in parameter declarations causing comparison failures.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0693?

1. Locate the external function declaration (EXT) and its corresponding definition (DEF) in the KRL source files 2. Compare the function signatures line-by-line, ensuring parameter count, order, and data types match exactly 3. Verify that parameter passing modes (BY VALUE, BY REFERENCE, or implicit) are identical in both declarations 4. Check that the function return type is declared consistently between EXT and DEF 5. Review the .src and .h header files for any discrepancies in function prototypes and definitions 6. Recompile the project after correcting any parameter mismatches, and consult KUKA documentation if the issue persists

Alarm KRC0693

KUKA Robot KRC0693 - EXT[FCT] AND DEF[FCT] PARAMETERS ARE INCOMPATIBLE 2029

This alarm indicates a parameter incompatibility between an external function declaration (EXT) and its corresponding definition (DEF) in KRL code. The function signature, parameter types, or parameter counts do not match between where the function is declared as external and where it is actually defined, preventing successful compilation or linking.
