“DELAY” EXPECTED 2346

This alarm indicates that the KRL interpreter encountered a syntax error where a DELAY statement was expected but not found at the specified location in the program. The compiler detected a missing or malformed DELAY instruction during parsing of the source code at position 2346.

Common Causes

  • Missing DELAY keyword in a motion or timing-related instruction sequence
  • Incorrect syntax or misspelling of DELAY statement
  • Missing or misplaced semicolon or line terminator before expected DELAY
  • Incomplete or corrupted KRL source file at the indicated line position
  • Mixing DELAY syntax from different KRL versions or using outdated command structure

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Open the KRL source file and navigate to character position 2346 or nearby lines
  2. 2Review the DELAY statement syntax: ensure it follows the format DELAY(time_value) or DELAY @P1@
  3. 3Check for missing or extra whitespace, brackets, or operators around the expected DELAY instruction
  4. 4Verify that the file was not truncated or corrupted by reloading from backup if available
  5. 5Consult the KRL language reference for correct DELAY syntax and ensure compatibility with your KUKA controller version
  6. 6Recompile the program after corrections and verify the alarm code no longer appears
