← TechnologyWhich hazard increases when robotic arm safety PLCs experience cascading timer overflows?
A)Erratic unpredictable actuator movement✓
B)Bearing wear accelerates dramatically
C)Motor thermal runaway escalates quickly
D)Electromagnetic interference emission increases
💡 Explanation
Cascading timer overflows in safety PLCs cause erratic robot motion because of disrupted *sequencing logic*, therefore leading to unpredictable actuator states, rather than other mechanical/electrical failures due to the rapid unscheduled changes in system behaviour.
