Missing or misspelled keyword ('ON', 'OFF', 'ENABLE', 'DISABLE', or 'DECL') in program statement. Incorrect syntax in signal control or variable declaration statement. Incomplete or corrupted KRL source code line. Wrong parameter type or format provided where keyword was expected. Copy-paste error resulting in malformed control statement or declaration.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0983?

1. Open the KRL source file in KRC Editor and navigate to line/position 2320 or near the reported error location 2. Verify that signal control statements use correct syntax: 'SIGNAL_NAME = ON' or 'SIGNAL_NAME = OFF' 3. Check that ENABLE/DISABLE statements are properly formatted with correct object names and syntax 4. Confirm that variable declarations using 'DECL' keyword have proper syntax: 'DECL ' 5. Review surrounding code context to identify if a statement was accidentally deleted or truncated 6. Recompile the program after corrections and verify the alarm is resolved
