← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a robotic arm's program counter overflows in the PLC managing coordinated joint movements?
A)Unpredictable trajectory or endpoint deviation✓
B)Reduced energy consumption during movement
C)Increased servo motor torque output
D)Improved signal noise filtering
💡 Explanation
When the program counter overflows due to extensive conditional branching or interrupts, the robot arm may execute unintended instructions, causing erratic movements because program flow is disrupted by the overflow mechanism; therefore, a deviation results, rather than energy savings or enhanced motor output.
