This set of Flexible Manufacturing System Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition”.
1. Which of the following represents the higher level of control than other automated processing equipment?
a) Inspection Control
b) Supervisory Control
c) Logic Control
d) Programmable Control
View Answer
Explanation: The type of control which represents the higher level of control than other automated processing equipment is known as supervisory control. These controls are directly interfaced to the process.
2. Which manages the activities multiple integrated unit operations to achieve economic objective of the process?
a) PCADA
b) TCADA
c) SCADA
d) SPADA
View Answer
Explanation: The control technique which manages the activities of multiple integrated unit operations to achieve economic objective of the process is known as SCADA, The abbreviated form of SCADA is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
3. What is meant by HMI?
a) Homo Mutual Interval
b) Hetero Machine Interface
c) Human Machine Interface
d) Hand Made Interface
View Answer
Explanation: The abbreviated form of HMI is Human Machine Interface. It is used to present the collected data to the system operator and enabling them to send signals. Homo Mutual Interval, Hetero Machine Interface and Hand Made Interface were not the literal abbreviations of HMI.
4. The objective of supervisory is to maximize the product or part cost by determining its operating conditions.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The objective of supervisory is to minimize the product or part cost and to maximize machine utilization by determining its operating conditions. Minimizing the cost is the objective in all typical manufacturing concepts.
5. Which is used to describe a configuration containing multiple micro computers connected together to share and distributes the process control workload?
a) DCS
b) VCS
c) CSS
d) BCS
View Answer
Explanation: The system which is used to describe a configuration containing multiple micro computers connected together to share and distributes the process control workload is known as DCS. The abbreviated form of DCS is Distributed Control system.
6. Which is equipped with operator stations where supervisory of the plant occurs?
a) Personnel Room
b) Loading Station
c) Unloading Station
d) Central Control Room
View Answer
Explanation: The place which is equipped with operator stations and used to perform supervisory of the plant is known as Central Control Room. Personnel Room, Loading Station and Unloading Station were not equipped with operator systems where supervisory of the plant occurs.
7. How is communication network in SCADA often termed as?
a) Data Reader
b) Data Recorder
c) Data Highway
d) Data Holder
View Answer
Explanation: The communication network in SCADA often termed as data highway. Processes and operator stations interact with each other by means of a communication network.
8. If a failure occurs in the central control room, then local operator station will take over the central control functions.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: If a failure occurs in the central control room, then local operator station will take over the central control functions. Otherwise, central control room will be having the higher priority for central control functions.
