← TechnologyWhich servo motor error results from quadrature encoder signal degradation?
A)Positional drift during static holding✓
B)Uncontrolled thermal runaway risk
C)Excessive current draw at start
D)Communication bus addressing conflicts
💡 Explanation
Positional drift occurs because degraded encoder signals produce inaccurate position feedback, undermining the PID control loop’s effectiveness. Specifically, the mechanism is a loss of signal fidelity, leading to misinterpretation. Therefore, drift occurs rather than controlled movement because the system loses accurate orientation.
