It would seem encumbrance influences how fast a pressure plate will move into it's 'pressed down' state. I am not sure as far as whether this is influenced the encumbrance level, or the value itself.

However, a character with 0 weight in encumbrance cannot cause a pressure plate to move down. Standing atop the pressure plate will trigger the appropiate effects, but the pressure plate will not move, no matter how long the character stands on it.
