Mechatronics - Control Systems and Components

What is a control system?

• A type of computer system that manages, commands, and directs other devices or systems

• A system that only measures temperature

• A device used solely for communication

• A type of software for graphic design

What is the main difference between open-loop and closed-loop control systems?

• Open-loop systems use feedback, closed-loop systems do not

• Closed-loop systems use feedback, open-loop systems do not

• Both systems use feedback

• Neither system uses feedback

Which of the following is an example of an open-loop system?

• A clothes dryer with a sensor

• A clothes dryer that operates on a timer

• A thermostat-controlled heater

• A feedback-controlled motor

What is a microcontroller?

• A large computer used for data storage

• A small programmable computer used to run code

• A device for measuring temperature

• A type of battery

What is the role of a co-processor in a system?

• To replace the main processor

• To complement the CPU of a computer

• To store data permanently

• To provide internet connectivity

What are components in a control system?

• Only the sensors in a system

• Individual parts or elements that make up a larger system

• The software used in a system

• Only the power supply units

What is a characteristic of modular components?

• They are permanently fixed

• They can be easily removed or replaced

• They are only used in open-loop systems

• They are always logical parts

In what type of systems are control systems used?

• Mechatronic systems

• Only in manual systems

• Only in biological systems

• Only in chemical systems

What is the purpose of feedback in a closed-loop system?

• To increase the speed of the system

• To reduce errors and improve stability

• To decrease the system's power consumption

• To make the system more complex

Which of the following is NOT a component of a control system?

• Microcontroller

• Co-processor

• Sensor

• Graphic card
