5 / 15

7. What role do sensors play in a control block diagram?

A) They provide feedback to the controller

C) They adjust the system output

D) They amplify the signals

B) They measure the system’s output and provide input to the controller

1. What does a block in a control block diagram typically represent?

C) The output of the system

A) A control signal

B) An individual component or function in the control system

D) The feedback loop

7 / 15

In a manually operated water level control system, which block directly affects the flow of water into or out of the tank?

B. Set Point

C. Feedback Path

D. Manual Controller

A. Sensor

8 / 15

What is the function of a feedback loop in a control block diagram?

A) To amplify the signal

B) To measure the system output

D) To provide a set point for the system

C) To compare the output with the set point and adjust the system accordingly

9 / 15

What does the term "set point" refer to in a control block diagram?

C) The signal feedback

D) The measurement taken by the sensor

B) The desired value that the system aims to achieve

A) The actual output of the system

10 / 15

In a control block diagram, what does a gain block represent?

C) The process element

A) The set point of the system

B) The amount of signal amplification or attenuation

D) The feedback signal

11 / 15

Why might a "Comparator" block be included in a control block diagram, even if it's not explicitly shown in a purely manual system?

B. To compare the actual water level with the set point

C. To adjust the water flow

A. To measure the actual water level

D. To represent the tank

12 / 15

What do summing points in a control block diagram do?

A) Combine or subtract signals to form a new signal

B) Measure the output of the system

C) Control the gain of a signal

D) Represent the feedback loop

13 / 15

2. In a control block diagram, what is the purpose of the arrows or lines?

C) To represent feedback loops

B) To show the connection between components

A) To indicate the control signals

D) To display the gain of the system

14 / 15

What is the role of the "Process Element" block in the water level control system?

C. To measure the water level

D. To represent the tank or reservoir holding the water

A. To provide the desired water level

B. To adjust the water flow

15 / 15

How does the feedback path function in a manually operated water level control system?

D. It represents the water tank where the level is controlled

B. It measures the desired water level

A. It adjusts the water flow based on the operator's input

C. It provides the actual water level measurement back to the manual controller
