← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a robotic arm's limit switch malfunctions, sending unexpected signals to the PLC?
A)Uncontrolled axis movement commences✓
B)Reduced energy consumption occurs
C)Improved positional accuracy results
D)Increased network bandwidth observed
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled movement occurs because the PLC relies on limit switch feedback for position; if the signal is incorrect due to switch failure, the inverse kinematics calculations become invalid and movement becomes erratic. Therefore, uncontrolled motion rather than normal robotic function arises because constraint limits are bypassed.
