What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC0996?

Array declared as INT, BOOL, or other non-REAL type but accessed as REAL. Variable assignment attempting to store a non-REAL value in a REAL array element. Incorrect array indexing or referencing wrong variable type. Type casting missing between incompatible data types in array operations. Function parameter expecting REAL array receiving different data type.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC0996?

1. Open the KRL program source file and navigate to line 2333 to identify the problematic array or variable reference 2. Verify the data type declaration of the array or variable - confirm it matches the expected REAL type or convert if necessary 3. Check all array element assignments and ensure values being assigned are REAL type or explicitly cast to REAL 4. Review function calls passing array parameters to ensure the passed array data type matches the function's expected REAL array parameter 5. Use explicit type conversion functions (REAL(), INT_TO_REAL()) if intentionally converting between data types 6. Recompile the KRL program and verify the syntax is correct; test the program in simulation mode before deployment

Alarm KRC0996

KUKA Robot KRC0996 - ARRAY ELEMENT/VARIABLE NOT TYPE REAL 2333

This alarm occurs when a KRL program attempts to access an array element or variable that is not of REAL (floating-point) data type, but the operation expects a REAL value. The compiler or runtime has detected a type mismatch during array indexing or variable assignment at line 2333 of the program.
