This set of Flexible Manufacturing System Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Program of Instructions”.
1. Which of the following determines the actions of an automated system?
a) Hydraulic Unit
b) Storage System
c) Program of Instruction
d) Handling System
View Answer
Explanation: In an automated system, the actions will be determined by the program of instructions. For a part to be manufactured in low, batch and high batch of production one or more processing steps will be followed to make that product.
2. Which of the following specifies the particular processing steps for the work cycle?
a) Product Program
b) Part Program
c) Bar program
d) Quality Program
View Answer
Explanation: The program which specifies the particular processing steps for the work cycle is known as part program. It is typically used in Numerical control operation and usually varies from product to product.
3. Which of the following is the value of the process parameter?
a) Progress Point
b) Set Point
c) Process Point
d) Base Point
View Answer
Explanation: The value of the process parameter is known as set point. In casting process, temperature has the controlled to achieve the desired composition of the molten metal. For these processes, temperature will be the set point.
4. Which of the following is the input to the process?
a) Progress Variable
b) Process Parameter
c) Progress Parameter
d) Process Variable
View Answer
Explanation: The parameter which will be the input of the process is known as process parameter. The entire production system will be functioning based on this parameter.
5. Which is the corresponding output of the process?
a) Progress Parameter
b) Process Parameter
c) Progress Variable
d) Process Variable
View Answer
Explanation: The parameter which corresponds to the output of the process is known as process variable. If the product profile or composition has to be changed, changes will be given to the input parameter of the process.
6. Process Variable will be always equal to the process parameter.
a) False
b) True
View Answer
Explanation: Process Variable will not be always equal to the process parameter. The changes made on the process parameter will some time to make impact on process variable. This could lead to controller issues.
7. Which of the following has the same process parameter value throughout the work cycle?
a) Process Control
b) Sequence Control
c) Logic Control
d) Set Point Control
View Answer
Explanation: The category of work cycle program which has the same process parameter value throughout the work cycle is known as set point. This finds its applications in furnaces and boilers.
8. Which of the following work cycle program has the dependence of process parameter on the values of other variables in the process throughout the work cycle?
a) Process Control
b) Sequence Control
c) Logic Control
d) Set Point Control
View Answer
Explanation: The category of work cycle program which has the dependence of process parameter on the values of other variables in the process throughout the work cycle is known as logic control.
9. Which of the following work cycle program has the process parameter changes as a function of time?
a) Process Control
b) Sequence Control
c) Logic Control
d) Set Point Control
View Answer
Explanation: The category of work cycle program in which the process parameter changes as a function of time is known as sequence control. The process parameter can be either discrete or continuous variable.
10. Which of the following work cycle program does the interaction occur between human operator and the control system?
a) Interactive Program
b) Sequence Control
c) Logic Control
d) Set Point Control
View Answer
Explanation: The category of work cycle program in which the interaction occur between human operator and the control system throughout the cycle is known as interactive program.
11. Which of the following work cycle program exhibits human intelligence?
a) Interactive Program
b) Sequence Control
c) Logic Control
d) Intelligent Program
View Answer
Explanation: The category of work cycle program which exhibits human intelligence is known as Intelligent Program. It implements logic, decision making and cognition learning as a result of work cycle program.
12. Which category of work cycles involve the operator perform certain activities and the rest of the activities are performed by the automated system?
a) Modular System
b) Flexible System
c) Dynamic System
d) Semi automated System
View Answer
Explanation: The Category of work cycles which involves the operator perform certain activities and the rest of the activities are performed by the automated system is known as semi automated system.
13. Controllers used in an automated system are based on analog computers.
a) False
b) True
View Answer
Explanation: Controllers used in an automated system are based on digital computers. Analog computers have been replaced by the digital computer because of its large memory storage capacity and quick response.
