What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0896?

Right operand is REAL, BOOL, or other incompatible type instead of INT/CHAR. Incorrect variable declaration or assignment that changed expected data type. Missing type conversion function (e.g., INT(), CHAR()) for the right operand. Function return type does not match INT/CHAR requirement. Array or structure element accessed with wrong data type.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0896?

1. Locate line 2232 in the KRL source file and identify the expression causing the alarm 2. Verify the data type of the right operand variable or expression in that operation 3. Check variable declarations to ensure correct types are assigned (INT or CHAR expected) 4. Add explicit type conversion functions if needed (e.g., INT(variable) or CHAR(variable)) 5. Review function calls at character 2232 to confirm return types match INT/CHAR requirements 6. Recompile the KRL program after corrections and test the syntax

Alarm KRC0896

KUKA Robot KRC0896 - RIGHT OPERAND NOT EQUAL TO INT, CHAR 2232

This alarm indicates a type mismatch during runtime where the right operand in an expression at character position 2232 is not of integer (INT) or character (CHAR) type as expected. The KRL compiler/interpreter encountered an incompatible data type when evaluating an operation that requires INT or CHAR operands.
