_____Date___ Score Name __ OverRvVIEW TEST 181 ‘choose the leter that best completes the statement Answer 41. PLCs were originally designed as replacements for 1 2) microcomputers ) analog controllers 2) relay contol panels. 6) digital controllers. 2. Basicaly, the function of a PLC i to: 2. ‘) amplify various weak signal sources. ») control a high voltage output with a low voltage input. ©) control the speed of motors. «d) make logical decisions and provide outputs. Modifying relay-type process control circuits usually involves 3. ‘changing the: a) circu wiring, 1) input circuit modules. ©) output circuit modules. 4) circuit operating voltage levels. Which of the following is not an advantage that PLCs offer over the 4 conventional relay-type of control system? 1) Smaller size ©) Higher current capacity ) Less expensive 4) More reliable The basic difference between a PLC and relay control system is that: S. 2) different types of input devices are used. ) different types of output devices are used. €) diferent input and output voltage levels are used. 4) one uses relay control logic and the other uses programmed instructions. ‘The central processing unit: 6 4) looks at the inputs, makes the decision provided by the program, and sets the outputs. ') looks at the outputs, makes tne decision provided by the ‘program, and sets the inputs, ©) serves only to store the program in memory. 1) understands only ladder logic.
