In a multi-stage bottling plant controlled by PLCs, which outcome occurs when communication failure affects the encoder feedback loop?

A)Synchronization errors in labeling stage
B)Elevated temperatures in cooling system
C)Premature activation emergency shutdown
D)Unintended increase in conveyor speed

💡 Explanation

Synchronization errors appear in the labeling stage because the **proportional integral derivative (PID) control** relies on accurate position feedback from the encoder. The PLC can’t adjust bottle alignment correctly in time, therefore causes labeling misplacement rather than temperature, shutdown or speed deviations under encoder failure.
