Which failure arises when excessive jitter affects PLC timing?

A)Unpredictable actuator state transitions
B)Inaccurate sensor data averaging
C)Overheating of power supply unit
D)Fieldbus network address conflicts

💡 Explanation

Excessive jitter causes unpredictable actuator transitions because asynchronous interrupts overwhelm the PLC's *real-time operating system*. Therefore, the actuator transitions haltingly, rather than incorrect calculations, because jitter affects interrupt processing, not numerical accuracy.
