What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0806?

Attempting to index a scalar variable that is not an array. Using bracket notation on a function or procedure name instead of a variable. Indexing a structure member that is not declared as an array. Attempting to index a non-array parameter passed to a function. Syntax error with mismatched or improper bracket usage in array access.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0806?

1. Review the line number indicated in the error message and identify the indexing operation that caused the alarm 2. Verify that the object being indexed is declared as an array type in the variable declaration section 3. Check the array declaration syntax and ensure it includes proper dimension specifications (e.g., REAL myArray[10]) 4. Confirm that the correct variable name is being used and that you are not accidentally trying to index a scalar or non-array object 5. Review function/procedure parameter definitions to ensure array parameters are properly declared with array syntax 6. Correct the KRL source code by either removing the indexing operation or declaring the variable as an appropriate array type, then recompile the program
