Technology

Which signal degradation increases when a PLC controls a robotic arm with extended unshielded cable runs to multiple servo motors?

A)Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
B)Thermal drift in the encoder
C)Increased processor loading
D)Hall effect sensor malfunction

💡 Explanation

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) substantially increases because long unshielded cables act as antennas, receiving noise from sources like motors and inverters influencing digital signals rather than others. Therefore, incorrect robot positioning becomes more likely rather than thermal drift.
