← TechnologyIn a robotic arm operating in a high-EMI environment, which consequence results from common-mode noise?
A)Spurious encoder position readings✓
B)Increased motor drive overheating
C)Decreased PLC communication bandwidth
D)Unpredictable inverse kinematic solutions
💡 Explanation
Spurious position readings arise because common-mode noise introduces voltage offsets into differential sensor signals, and this effect is known as a common-mode failure mode for signal conditioning. Therefore, the encoder reports incorrect data, rather than directly affecting the motor or PLC.
