Which instability develops if a PLC executes ladder logic faster than an actuator's mechanical response time?

💡 Explanation

Kinematic oscillation results because the PLC updates commands faster than the actuator responds, causing overshoot and correction cycles initiating hunting behavior, therefore instability rather than stable or delayed adjustments. The PLC executes faster than the system reacts.
