What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0879?

Array declared with dimensions larger than system limits (typically exceeds memory allocation thresholds). Multi-dimensional array with combined element count exceeding maximum allowable size. Dynamic array allocation or initialization with excessive element count at runtime. Incorrect array dimension specification or arithmetic error in size calculation. Attempting to resize or expand an existing array beyond system constraints.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0879?

1. Review the array declaration in the KRL source code and verify the dimensional specifications against KUKA system limits 2. Reduce the array size to be within acceptable bounds; consult KUKA documentation for maximum array element limits for your KRC version 3. For multi-dimensional arrays, calculate the total element count (dimension1 × dimension2 × ...) and confirm it does not exceed limits 4. Check if a smaller array size would satisfy the application requirements; consider using dynamic allocation or segmented data structures 5. If large data storage is required, implement alternative approaches such as file I/O operations or external data structures 6. Recompile the program after modifications and verify the alarm no longer appears during program load/execution

Alarm KRC0879

KUKA Robot KRC0879 - ARRAY CONTAINS TOO MANY ELEMENTS 2215

This alarm indicates that an array declaration or initialization in the KRL program exceeds the maximum number of elements allowed by the system. The compiler detects this constraint violation during program parsing or compilation, preventing the program from executing.
