← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a robot arm's encoder fails during a PLC-controlled pick-and-place operation?
A)Positional accuracy is lost✓
B)Motor torque output increases
C)Emergency stop functionality activates
D)Cycle time accelerates unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Positional accuracy is lost because the control system no longer receives precise feedback on the arm's position, due to encoder failure. Therefore, the targeted location can't be reached with intended orientation, rather than a complete stop or speed increase which depends on system fail-safes.
