During automated conveyor system overload, which consequence results when the PLC's scan cycle exceeds its maximum configured execution time?

💡 Explanation

Inconsistent state transitions occur because, during PLC cycle overrun, sampled inputs change mid-cycle; the system experiences inconsistent states rather than continuous operation, because the PLC misses timing windows during operation. Therefore, the program will execute erratically rather than predictably.
