What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0720?

Integer value provided instead of real constant (e.g., '5' instead of '5.0'). String or boolean value used where real constant is expected. Missing decimal point in floating-point number declaration. Invalid character or operator in constant expression. Variable name or undefined identifier used instead of literal real constant.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0720?

1. Locate the error position in the KRL source file indicated by the compiler message 2. Review the syntax around the flagged location and identify the expected real constant 3. Verify the constant is formatted correctly with decimal notation (e.g., 3.14, 0.5, 10.0) 4. Check that you are not attempting to use a variable or expression where a literal real constant is required 5. Replace the incorrect value with a properly formatted real constant matching the required data type 6. Recompile the program to verify the syntax error is resolved

KUKA Robot KRC0720 - REAL CONSTANT EXPECTED 2056

This alarm indicates that the KRL compiler expected a real (floating-point) constant value but encountered a different data type or invalid syntax at the specified location in the program. The compiler cannot proceed with program compilation until a valid real constant is provided where required.
