Question

1)How would you calibrate a vacuum pressure sensor – draw out a picture and use real devices (Name and model number) in your answer.

2)Name at least 4 ways to measure flow?

3)How many pulses does it take to rotate the Stepper Motor you used in your labs 33.5 degrees?

4)Show a diagram or an oscilloscope capture of the signals required to step the motor.

5)Explain the difference between a time domain signal and a frequency domain signal.

6)When would you select the frequency domain signal over the time domain signal.

7) Why do we use a PID controller?

8) In a control system the safety loop should be (part of) or (external to) the main control loop?

9) Make a simple drawing, which shows stable, unstable and neutral conditions.

10) Discuss the concept of an alias signal and how do we prevent this from occurring.

11) Given (s-3)/(s+5) as the transfer function of a system is it stable, plot the poles and zeros.

12) Describe and provide a sketch that shows how the stepper motor controller you used works.

13) The level in a tank is two feet below the sensors for a liquid level sensor the angle of the sensors is 38 degrees show the calculations and results, which support this measurement.

typ the answer :)

Explanation / Answer

2) Four ways to measure flow

- using force displacement

- using ultrasonic method

- using velocity of the flow

-using differential pressure

7)

A PID controller is used because

A proportional controller may not give SSE performance needed in a system. An integral controller may give SSE performance, but slow a system down. In such cases adding a derivative term may help to eradicate both of these problems.

8) In a control system, safety loop should be external to main control loop
