Which consequence results when quantizing encoder signals on a robotic arm joint with aggressive PID tuning?

A)Motor overheating due stiction
B)Increased settling time observed
C)Limit switch desynchronization errors
D)High-frequency oscillations or chatter

💡 Explanation

High-frequency oscillations occur because quantization introduces position errors, causing aggressive PID loops to continuously overcorrect using pulse width modulation. Therefore, chatter results rather than settling, because discrete encoder steps trigger unstable control actions at higher gains.
