An ON/OFF control system is one in which the:
error detector is switched ON or OFF
controlled variable is switched ON or OFF
controlled variable is continuously varied
[i] controlled variable is switched ON when the control system is OFF
A suitable application for a simple ON/OFF control system would be for:
[a] temperature environment control [G] motor speed control
[ce] rotational position control [@] light level control
The term proportional control means that the controller output is proportional to the:
[a] error signal [bE] supply voltage
reference frequency [a] rate of change of the output
The term integral control means relating the output of the controller to the:
[a] input amplitude only [B] input x time
rate-of-change of input [G]_ frequency of the input
The term derivative control means feeding back to the error detector a signal
proportional to the output:
amplitude polarity rate-of-change — [] frequency
‘When a load is applied to a system with proportional control, the output may have:
greater amplitude [0] a continual error
less range of response [G] 2 slower response

A room heating system consists of an electric heater having a constant output when
ON, this being controlled by a thermostat, the contacts operating at 70°C. The range
of temperature you expect to measure if a temperature-time characteristic were
measured for the room, the windows and doors remaining closed would be:
[a] 20-70°c 50 - 70°C 50 - 90°F [g] 65-75°¢
For the system described in question 1 above, a plot of the temperature characteristic
when the system is tested when operating normally would look like:
y ° yy ~~ ° WW
In setting up a system youwish to combine the signals from three different sources
together to generate an output. The signal conditioning circuit from those provided
on the DIGIAC 1750 Trainer which you would select for this purpose is the:
[a] Differential Amplifier [G] Instrumentation Amplifier
Summing Amplifier [g]_ Integrator
One of the three signals referred to in question 3 above has the wrong polarity. The
signal conditioning circuit from those provided on the DIGIAC 1750 Trainer which
you would select for to overcome this problem is the:
[a] Differentiator Inverter Buffer [a] Integrator
A step inp ut is often used to test the response of a control circuit. This term refers to:
[a] anabrupt change of voltage level of either polarity
[B] a smoothly changing input voltage
repetitive sudden variations of voltage, ON and OFF at regular intervals
[] a steady increase of voltage from OV to +3V"1T02 Practical Control Systems

7. Acontrol circuit is required which will alvays return a rotational position system
to the zero setting of a 3-output Gray-code disc (such as the one on the DIGIAC 1750
Trainer), that is with the three outputs all zero. A suitable circuit for carrying this
out is given in Fig 1. Selecting signal conditioning circuits from the DIGIAC 1750
Trainer, the Control block might contain:
[a] proportional, derivative and integral controls
[bp] a summing amplifier
three DC amplifiers
[a] differentiator, integrator and inverter
