Question 1

What is the primary role of the controller in a control system?

  • To measure the output
  • To generate control signals based on input and output comparison
  • To act as the actuator

💡 Hint: Think about what helps maintain the desired performance.

Question 2

True or False: The output is the actual response of the control system.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what you measure to know if the system is performing correctly.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a control system managing the temperature of a highly sensitive experiment. If the temperature fluctuates above the desired setpoint, at least three components might need analysis for potential failure. List these components and provide reasons for your choices.

💡 Hint: Evaluate where errors could occur in the process.

Question 2

A robotic arm uses motors as actuators controlled through a controller based on position input. If the arm consistently overshoots its target, how might the controller be adjusted? Suggest a specific method.

💡 Hint: Think about how adjusting controller settings affects the performance of the system.
