On an automated assembly line, which outcome occurs when the PLC fails to read an updated encoder value?

💡 Explanation

Desynchronized motion is caused through loss of encoder feedback to the PLC. The *closed-loop control* compares target and actual positions via the encoder, because the controller stops recognizing updated positioning, therefore the programmed path execution stalls, rather than axes movement coordinating correctly.
