← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a PLC controlling a robotic arm's trajectory uses floating-point arithmetic without proper range checks?
A)Gearbox thermal runaway
B)Encoder signal aliasing appears
C)Joint space singularity violation✓
D)DC motor armature demagnetization
💡 Explanation
A joint space singularity violation increases because without range checks, floating-point inaccuracies can cause the PLC to command the robotic arm to move through a point where infinite joint velocities are required, therefore leading to erratic motions rather than controlled movement.
