Which control failure arises from PLC watchdog timer expiration during multi-axis robotic weld?

💡 Explanation

Robot axes experience continuing motion because the PLC watchdog timer expiration halts routine instruction execution, while servo drives continue interpolation from the last valid command. Thus the robot exhibits uncontrolled movement, rather than immediate safety shutdown using E-stop.
