Which outcome results when a robot arm's encoder fails during a PLC-controlled pick-and-place operation?

💡 Explanation

Positional accuracy is lost because the control system no longer receives precise feedback on the arm's position, due to encoder failure. Therefore, the targeted location can't be reached with intended orientation, rather than a complete stop or speed increase which depends on system fail-safes.
