Which control failure commonly results when industrial robot joint encoder pulses are lost?

💡 Explanation

Encoder pulse loss disables position feedback, halting closed-loop control; therefore, the servo motor receives commands with no corrective response. Because Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is lost, runaway motion happens rather than controlled movements or weaker performance involving peripheral tools.
