1. As shown below, the home heater control system block diagram. Please list down
the important elements of this system in the table given;
Control objective:

Input:

Output:

Possible Disturbance:

Controller:

Final control element:

Process:

Measuring element:
2. A system is normally represented using the block diagram representation.
Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a liquid level control system. Illustrate
the block diagram of the system.
 3. A system is normally represented using the block diagram representation. As a
control engineer, construct a block diagram consist of complete components that
include in the schematic diagram of a home heater control system that given in the
Figure 2
4. A system is normally represented using the block diagram. As a control engineer,
construct a typical block diagram consist of complete components that should be
include in control system, by using the Figure 3 below as a reference.
5. Name the appropriate terms for each statement
below:
a) any variable that may cause the control variable of
the process to change
b) The differences between the value of the set point
and the measured variable
c) Desired value of the controlled variable
d) A device that provides a modulated input to the
process in response to a signal from the controller
e) The measured value of the controlled variable is fed
back to the controller
f) The steady state value of the error
