Which outcome results in a robotic arm when quadrature encoder counts are intermittently lost during rapid movements controlled by PLC?

💡 Explanation

When quadrature encoder signals are lost, the position feedback loop degrades due to missed pulses; backlash compensation fails therefore. This *loss of integration* results rather than sudden halt or fluctuation which would occur with complete signal loss or continuous noise.
