← TechnologyWhich unsafe outcome arises when a PLC controlling robotic manipulator's emergency stop fails?
A)Unintended axis motion continues✓
B)Excessive joint position overshoot
C)Servo motor temperature decreases
D)Encoder pulse count drops to zero
💡 Explanation
If the PLC's safety function fails, the emergency stop is ignored, therefore the robotic manipulator continues moving rather than stopping in a hazardous situation. This happens because Override Control Failure prevents motion cutoff and overrides programmed limits.
