Reading Analysis: The Core of Industrial Automation
Instructions: Read the following text carefully. Then, answer the multiple-choice questions by selecting the best option (A, B, or C) based on the information provided in the text.
Text:
Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machinery in an industry to replace a human being. The primary goal is to increase productivity, improve quality, and enhance safety in the manufacturing process.
A typical automated system can be understood by looking at its core components. The most important component is the controller, which acts as the "brain" of the system. The most common controller in industrial settings is the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Its main function is to make decisions based on the information it receives.
To make decisions, the controller needs information from the outside world. This is the job of the sensors, which are like the "senses" (eyes and ears) of the system. Sensors detect physical conditions such as temperature, position, or the presence of an object. For example, a proximity sensor tells the PLC if a box is in the correct position.
Once the PLC makes a decision, it needs to perform a physical action. This is done by actuators, which are the "muscles" or "hands" of the system. Actuators convert electrical signals from the PLC into physical movement. Common examples include electric motors, hydraulic pistons, and robotic arms.
Finally, for a human to interact with the system, there is the HMI (Human-Machine Interface). The HMI is the "face" or "voice" of the system. It is usually a screen that allows an operator to monitor the process, see alarms, and give commands to the system.Questions:

a)
A. To increase the number of employees.
b)
B. To increase productivity, quality, and safety.

12.
What is the main function of a sensor in an automated system?
a)
A. To perform physical actions like moving objects.
b)
B. To provide a screen for the operator to use.
c)
C. To detect physical conditions and send information to the PLC.
13.
The text compares actuators to the...
a)
A. "senses" of the system.
b)
B. "brain" of the system.
c)
C. "muscles" or "hands" of the system.
