← TechnologyWhich risk increases when PLC-controlled robotic arm encoders fail?
A)Cumulative positional errors✓
B)Uncontrolled joint velocities
C)Reduced motor torque output
D)Increased thermal energy dissipation
💡 Explanation
Cumulative positional errors will increase because the *dead reckoning* navigation method employed by the PLC relies completely on accurate encoder feedback. Therefore positional accuracy degrades, rather than velocity, torque, or dissipated heat changing immediately after feedback loss.
