This set of Basic Mechatronics Questions and Answers focuses on “Mechatronics Approach to Design”.
1. Which is the first aspect which needs to be considered in the Mechatronics design process?
a) Hardware design and simulation
b) Conceptual design
c) Mathematical modelling
d) Modelling and simulation
View Answer
Explanation: Modeling and simulation involve the representation of physical systems by suitable models for describing the behaviour characteristics such as block diagram. Hardware design and simulation is a part of prototyping. Conceptual design and mathematical modelling come under modelling and simulation.
2. In the level of integration of Mechatronics system, an example of the first level is _____
a) fluid valves
b) automatic machine tools
c) industrial robots
d) microprocessors
View Answer
Explanation: First level of the mechatronics system is the basic control system which integrates electrical signal with mechanical action. An example of this level is the fluid valve. Automatic machine tools and industrial robots come under the second level and microprocessor in the third level respectively.
3. Interface design is an example of hardware integration.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Interface design is a part of software integration which involves the Operating system. Hardware integration involves process design and electronic design respectively.
4. What is the role of the second level in the mechatronics system design?
a) Integrates microelectronics into electrically controlled devices
b) Integrates electrical signal with mechanical action
c) Advanced control strategy level
d) Providing artificial intelligence
View Answer
Explanation: Role of the second level is to integrate microelectronics into electrically controlled devices. Integration of electrical signal with mechanical action, advanced control strategy and artificial intelligence comes under the first, third and fourth level of mechatronics design respectively.
5. Microprocessor-based electrical motors are used for ____
a) prediction of fault in the system
b) correction before the fault occurs
c) actuation purpose in robots
d) providing intelligence
View Answer
Explanation: Microprocessor-based electrical motors are used for actuation purpose in robots. Correction before the fault occurs, Actuation purpose in robots, providing intelligence is done using Artificial intelligence.
6. Deployment in mechatronics design is associated with the final product.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Deployment is associated with the final product, embedded software deployment and lifecycle.
7. Which phase of a mechatronics system consists of hardware designing?
a) Prototyping
b) Modelling
c) Simulation
d) Deployment
View Answer
Explanation: Hardware design and simulation is a part of Prototyping. Conceptual design and mathematical modelling come under modelling and simulation.
8. What is the function of “analysis” in the modelling and simulation phase?
a) Database for maintaining project information
b) Sub models for eventual reuse
c) Contains Numerical methods
d) To produce high-level source code
View Answer
Explanation: Analysis provides numerical methods for frequency domain, time domain and complex domain design. Database for maintaining project information, Sub models for eventual reuse are part of project management. High-level source codes are produced by the code generator.
9. Describing the behaviour characteristics through block diagram is done in ____
a) modelling and simulation
b) prototyping
c) deployment
d) design optimization
View Answer
Explanation: In Modeling and simulation, physical systems are represented by a suitable model for describing the behaviour characteristics such as a block diagram. Hardware design and simulation is a part of Prototyping. Deployment is associated with the final product, embedded software deployment and lifecycle.
10. Prototyping involves ____
a) conceptual design
b) replacing non-computer systems with actual hardware
c) database for maintaining project information
d) sub models for eventual reuse
View Answer
Explanation: Prototyping involves replacing non-computer systems with actual hardware. Conceptual design and mathematical modelling come under modelling and simulation. Database for maintaining project information, Sub models for eventual reuse are part of project management.
