What outcome occurs on a robotic assembly line that stops sending acknowledgement signals to its controlling PLC?

💡 Explanation

An emergency stop initiates because of watchdog timer expiration; the PLC doesn't receive the expected 'heartbeat' signals from the remote assembly line. Therefore the system suspends operations; rather than continuing with outdated or potentially unsafe data.
