What causes KUKA Robot alarm KRC1043?

Attempting to delete only a DEF block while leaving the parent procedure intact. Misunderstanding of KRL program structure and DEF block dependencies in WorkVisual. Incomplete selection of the complete procedure during edit mode in the KUKA smartPAD or WorkVisual IDE. DEF block referenced by other procedures within the same program source file. Using incorrect delete command syntax in the KRL editor interface.

How do I fix KUKA Robot alarm KRC1043?

1. Review the program structure in WorkVisual to understand the relationship between the DEF block and its parent procedure 2. Select the entire procedure definition that contains the DEF block rather than attempting to isolate and delete only the DEF portion 3. Search the project workspace for any other procedures or program calls that may reference the DEF block before deletion 4. Delete the complete procedure using the standard delete function in WorkVisual or the KUKA smartPAD program editor 5. Compile the modified program using the Build function to ensure no orphaned references remain 6. If needed, recreate the procedure with revised DEF block definitions instead of attempting partial edits
