Chapter 1 TEST Flashcards
List two examples of controlled variables for motion control applications and two examples from process control applications.
speed Position
Temperature and pressure
An open loop system does not have a
feedback loop
T or F
The basic concept of feedback control is that an error must exist before some corrective action can be made.
True
A pressurized tank must maintain a gas at 325 PSI. A pressure sensor is used to measure the condition of the controlled variable. As the gas cools, the pressure in the tank decreases. When it drops to 300 PSI, a valve is opened, which allows steam to flow to a heat exchanger inside the tank. The additional steam heats the gas and causes pressure to rise.
What is the controlled variable in this process? Gas pressure What is the manipulated variable in this process? Steam flow What is the setpoint? 325 PSI What is the measured variable pressure
Altering the________ variable causes the condition of the ______variable to change
manipulated
controlled
The manipulated variable and controlled variable are synonymous terms in a closed-loop system
FALSE
List another name for each of the following terms.
Motion control
Process control
Batch proces
Servo
Instrumentation / temperature
Sequential Process
The output of the measurement device is called the
Feedback signal
Feed-forward control is seldom used except in combination with feedback control.
True
The control method used in ?servo/process? control applications is to sustain a constant condition of the controlled variable.
