Alarm KRC0868

KUKA Robot KRC0868 - ONLY “I”, “B”, “H”, “V” ALLOWED AS OPTION ONLY 2204

This alarm indicates that an invalid option was specified in a KRL program statement where only specific single-character options are permitted: 'I' (Integer), 'B' (Boolean), 'H' (Hexadecimal), or 'V' (Variable). The system rejected the option because it does not match the allowed values for option 2204.
