FEEDBACK CONTROL OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS
CHAPTERS 1 THROUGH 10 FINAL PAPER
SOLVED QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS
◉ Feedback Signal.
Answer: the measure of the output
◉ Feedback Control System.
Answer: control system that tends to maintain a prescribed
relationship of one system variable to another by comparing
functions of these variables and using the difference as a means of
control.
◉ Error.
Answer: the difference between the desired output and the actual
output
◉ Negative Feedback Control System.
Answer: control system where the output is subtracted from the
input and the difference is used as the input signal to the controller
, ◉ Automation.
Answer: the control of an industrial process by automatic rather
than manual means
◉ Productivity.
Answer: the ratio of physical output to physical input
◉ Robot.
Answer: a computer-controlled machine that involves technology
closely associated with automation
◉ Engineering Design.
Answer: central task of engineer; complex process in which both
creativity and analysis play major roles
◉ Design.
Answer: the process of conceiving or inventing the forms, parts, and
details of a system to achieve a specified purpose; an innovative act
whereby the engineer creatively uses knowledge and materials to
specify the shape, function, and material content of a system
◉ Specifications.
Answer: statement that explicitly state what the device or product is
to be and do
