Chose the correct answer for the showing :
2. Transfer switches are used to switch power sources in case of a water leak.
3. Analog sensors provide discrete output signals in response to changes in the measured quantity.
4. Actuators are devices that convert electrical signals into sound waves.
5. Resistors are used to increase the flow of current and voltage in an electrical circuit.
6. Feedback loops are not used in control systems to monitor and adjust the system's output.
7. Switches do not play a role in controlling the flow of current in electrical circuits.
8. Push buttons are not commonly used as input devices in control systems.
10. The acronym SCADA represents "Synchronized Control and Data Analysis".
11. process control system consists of four essential elements: process, measurement, evaluation,
and control
12. ICS technologies include, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and distributed
control systems (DCS), industrial automation and control systems (IACS), programmable logic
controllers (PLCs), programmable automation controllers (PACs), remote terminal units
(RTUs), control servers, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and sensors.
13. Remote Mode - allows the PLC to be remotely changed between program and run mode by a
personnel computer connected to the PLC processor.
14. Test Mode - is used to operate, or monitor, the user program without energizing any outputs.
15. Run Mode - is used to execute the user program. Input devices are monitored and output
devices are energized accordingly.
16. In electrical circuits, resistors are used to limit the flow of current and voltage in a circuit.
17. In control systems, actuators are devices that convert electrical signals into mechanical motion
or physical action.
18. Microcontrollers are integrated circuits that contain a processor, memory, and input/output
peripherals on a single chip.
19. In logic control, AND gates output a high signal only when all input signals are high.
20. PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) are specialized computers used to control industrial
processes and machinery.
21.
22. In control systems, feedback loops are used to monitor and adjust the system's output based on
the desired input.
23. Switches are devices that can open or close an electrical circuit to control the flow of current.
24. Push buttons are commonly used as input devices in control systems to initiate specific actions.
25. Analog sensors provide continuous output signals in response to changes in the measured
quantity.
26. A transfer switch is a device used to switch power sources in case of a power outage.
27. Microprocessors are commonly used in embedded control systems for processing data and
executing commands.
28. Timers are used in control systems to introduce time delays in operations.
29. The Exclusive-OR logic function is a very useful circuit that can be used in many different types
of computational circuits.
30. The Logic NOR Gate gate is a combination of the digital logic OR gate and an inverter or NOT
gate connected in series.
31. The Logic NAND Gate is a combination of a digital logic AND gate and a NOT gate connected
together in series.

True or False questions and correct the false:
1- Is a general term used to describe the integration of hardware and software with network
connectivity in order to support critical infrastructure.
2- Process control systems PCS make sure industrial process are caried out efficiently, consistently
and with as little variation as possible.
3- Process control consists of four essential elements: process, measurement, evaluation, and
control.
4- PLCs are solid-state ICSs with programmable memory for storage of instructions that monitor
inputs and make decisions based on their internal program or logic automation.
5- An ICs can be PLC-based, where multiple PLCs are networked together in order to share
information.
6- It is a chip that has all the components of a computer on a single chip with the need for external
connections and consist of a processor itself along with other components.
7- Are individual chips each one carries one logic function like AND , OR and XOR using a group
of transistors by applying Boolean algebra.
8- Both consist mainly of a processor that computes different mathematical operations except that
a microcontroller has a processor with other modules on a single chip, but a microprocessor
requires external peripheral to operate accordingly.
9- We design a digital circuit based on theory and hardware implementation in labs, after settling
on particular design, this circuit can be fabricated on an IC tools.
