1. Which process involves collecting the data from the process?
a) Process Delivering
b) Process Monitoring
c) Process Locking
d) Process Picking
View Answer
Explanation: Process Monitoring involves collecting the data from the process with the help of a computer. It is done periodically either shift wise data or entire day data in a production system.
2. Which of the following regulates the process?
a) Process Monitoring
b) Process Control
c) Process Locking
d) Process Delivering
View Answer
Explanation: In Process Control, computer regulates the data. With the collected data, discussions will be made to optimize the process. Process Monitoring, Process Locking and Process Delivering were not typically used to regulate the process.
3. What is meant by DDC in computer process control?
a) Drive Digit Conveyor
b) Drown Digit Control
c) Direct Digital Control
d) Down Digit Conveyor
View Answer
Explanation: The abbreviated form of DDC is Direct Digital Control. It is one of the computer process control in which the analog components are replaced by the digital components.
4. Computers will be used to control the process in computer process monitoring.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Computers will not be directly used to control the process in computer process monitoring. With the collected set of data, human workers analyze the system with the quality parameters.
5. Which of the following process involves the application of computer to observe the process and associated equipment?
a) Computer Process Monitoring
b) Catastrophic Process Monitoring
c) Equipment Process Monitoring
d) Catalog Process Monitoring
View Answer
Explanation: The Process which involves the application of computers to observe the process and associated equipment is known as computer process monitoring. Collecting and recording of data will be done in this process.
6. Which are measured values of input parameters and output variables that indicate process performance?
a) Process Data
b) Equipment Data
c) Holding Data
d) Product Data
View Answer
Explanation: Process Data are the measured values of input parameters and output variables that indicate process performance. The operator needs to take necessary action when the values fell outside the desired value.
7. Which data indicate the status of the equipment in the process?
a) Product Data
b) Holding Data
c) Equipment Data
d) Process Data
View Answer
Explanation: Equipment data indicate the status of the equipment in the process. These data are used to analyze machine tool change, schedule change and to avoid machine breakdowns.
8. Which data gives detailed information about the product?
a) Process Data
b) Product Data
c) Modular Data
d) Equipment Data
View Answer
Explanation: The data which gives detailed information about the product is known as product data. Government has made mandatory for all the industries to submit their product data for licensing.
9. Which is used to compare set point with the measured output variable?
a) Comparator
b) Aviator
c) Radiator
d) Reflector
View Answer
Explanation: The device which is used to compare the set point with the measured output variable is known as comparator. It is used for calibration purposes. Aviator, Radiator and Reflector were not typically used to compare set point with the measured output variable.
10. What is meant by ADC in control systems?
a) Arbitrary Digital Converters
b) Analyzed Digital Converters
c) Analog to Digital Converters
d) Advanced Dedicated Converters
View Answer
Explanation: The abbreviated form of ADC is Analog to Digital Converters. It is commonly being used to convert analog signal into digital signal. Arbitrary Digital Converters, Analyzed Digital Converters and Advanced Dedicated Converters are not the literal abbreviations of ADC in control systems.
11. What is meant by DAC in control systems?
a) Digital Arbitrary Converters
b) Digital Analyzed Converters
c) Digital to Analog Converters
d) Dedicated Advanced Converters
View Answer
Explanation: The abbreviated form of DAC is Digital to Analog Converters. It is commonly being used to convert digital signal into an analog signal. Digital Arbitrary Converters, Digital Analyzed Converters and Dedicated Advanced Converters are not the typical abbreviations of DAC in control systems.
12. Which is the ability to integrate feedback measurement from multiple loops to implement optimizing strategies?
a) Integration and Optimization
b) Cooperation and Coproduction
c) Measuring and Implementing
d) Looping and Measuring
View Answer
Explanation: The ability to integrate feedback measurement from multiple loops to implement optimizing strategies is known as Integration and Optimization. This is done to improve overall process performance.
13. Which of the following is otherwise termed as data selector?
a) Multiplexer
b) Moderator
c) Data predictor
d) Data Collector
View Answer
Explanation: Multiplexer is otherwise known as data selector. It is used in a direct digital circuit in order to select between several analog or digital input signals. Moderator, Data predictor and Data Collector were not typically termed as data selector.
14. Which of the following is a microprocessor based device that is connected to the process that receives electrical signals from sensors and converting them for digital data?
a) RTU
b) PTU
c) CTU
d) MTU
View Answer
Explanation: A microprocessor based device that is connected to the process that receives electrical signals from sensors and converting them for digital data is known as RTU. The abbreviated form of RTU is Remote Terminal Unit.
