← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a robotic arm positioning system's rotary encoder experiences bit errors?
A)Unintended trajectory deviations occur✓
B)Motor thermal runaway accelerates quickly
C)Link breakage risk suddenly intensifies
D)Supply voltage oscillates inconsistently
💡 Explanation
Erroneous encoder readings cause the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to miscalculate the joint angles as part of inverse kinematics; specifically using dead reckoning, leading to incorrect motor commands because of this feedback loop. Unintended trajectory deviations arise, rather than motor burnout (thermal runaway) or structural stress (link breakage), because position feedback directly errors influencing movement.
