7. What is factory type of Integral automation?

ans: All kind of factory level but large one.

8. Define process.

ans: A sequence of interdependent and linked procedure which use resources every stage to convert certain input to a certain output to achieve a certain goal.

10. What are process variables?
ans: Control variable, controlled variable, load variable.

Section- B
LONG QUESTIONS: (EACH 10 MARKS)

1. What is the structure of Industrial Automation?

ans: sysml_modeling_system_structure

2. What is the element of Industrial control?

ans: the element used in industrial automation are

controller

Actuator

plant

sensor

3. Draw the diagram of cascade control loop.

ans: CascadeControl1

4. What are programmable logic controller design ?

ans: A programmable controller can be studied by considering the basic elements like processor, the input modules, output modules and the software .

Processor : the processor is a computer that executes a program to perform the operation specified in a ladder diagram or a set of Boolean equations. The processor performs arithmetic and logic operations on input variables data and determine the proper state of the output variables.

The heart of a PLC is a microprocessor , much like the ones used in modern personal computers. Because much of the data in PLC operation is processed bit by bit special microprocessors optimized for such operation.

Input Modules: The input modules examine the state of physical switches and other input devices and put their state into a form suitable for the processor. The PLC is able to accommodate a number of inputs called channels.

Modern PLC and the input sensors to which they are connected are much more versatile. This is also has a great advantage with respect to electrical safety since the ac power is not connected to the switches. Many input modules also can be used in the networked environment wherein the input signal arrives as serial digital data encoded with the input device are connected to the input module, the result is that the state of each devices is presented to the PLC processor.

Output Modules : The objective of the output module is ultimately to supply power to an external device such as motor, light , solenoid and so on as required by the ladder diagram. Early relay logic sequences were able to provide 120 vac directly to device as long as the power requirement was not too great.

5. Describe about PLC operation.

ans: Operation of the programmable controller can be considered in two modes, the I/O scan mode and the execution mode.

I/O Scan Mode : During the I/O scan mode , the processor updates all outputs and inputs the state of all inputs one channel at a time. The time required for this depends on the speed of the processor.

Execution Mode : During this mode, the processor evaluates each rung of the ladder diagram program that is being executed sequentially , starting from the first rung and proceeding to the last rung. As a rung is evaluated, the last known state of each switch and relay contact in the rung is considered.

Scan time : An important characteristic of the programmable controller is how much time is required for one complete cycle of i/o scan and execution. The scan time may have an impact on the ability of the PLC to detect events that occur on the inputs.

    Undeniably believe that that you said. Your favorite justification seemed
    to be at the internet the easiest thing to consider of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other folks think
    about worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the whole thing without
    having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will
    probably be back to get more. Thank you
