← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a PLC controlling an industrial robotic arm encounters checksum errors during data transmission from rotation encoders?
A)Robotic arm positional drift✓
B)Excessive servo motor cooling
C)Increase in joint lubricant viscosity
D)Faster PLC clock cycle duration
💡 Explanation
The arm experiences positional drift because checksum errors imply incorrect angle readings sent to the PLC; this disrupts inverse kinematics calculations, therefore causing inaccurate movements, rather than improved cooling or irrelevant changes.
