Types of control systems Flashcards
(10 cards)
What are the common applications of electrical control systems?
Applications include:
* Temperature control systems
* Water flow or pressure control systems
* Light level control systems
* Infrared sensor systems
Examples of temperature control systems include those used in greenhouses or food growing facilities.
What is the primary medium used in pneumatic control systems?
Compressed air
Pneumatic systems utilize compressed air for power and signal transmission.
List three applications of pneumatic control systems.
Applications include:
* Air brake control systems
* Pneumatic pressure control systems
* Computer numerical control (CNC) systems
CNC systems control the speed and position of cutting tools.
What are hydraulic control systems primarily based on?
A liquid as the power and signal transmission medium
Hydraulic systems utilize liquids to transmit power and signals.
Name two applications of hydraulic control systems.
Applications include:
* Aircraft systems
* Lifting systems
* Construction machinery and equipment
Aircraft systems use hydraulics for landing gear and brakes.
What is an application of electrical control systems related to light?
Light level control systems
These systems ensure a safe light level for using machinery in factories or workshops.
