Question 1

Which of the following BEST describes the different technology logic systems used in safety systems?

A : They are systems that use sensors, logic solvers, and final control elements to take the process to a safe state in case of an emergency.

B : They are systems that use switches, relays, and valves to control the process variables and prevent any safety hazards.

C : They are systems that use transmitters, controllers, and actuators to monitor the process conditions and optimize the performance.

D : They are systems that use scanners, computers, and displays to collect and analyze the process data and provide feedback.

Answer: A

Question 2

Some newer microprocessor-based single loop controls can do the following things that lead to the controllers sometimes being called hybrid control systems:

A : They can execute more than one PID control algorithm for a process loop, by time-sharing their calculating power.

B : They can communicate with other controllers and SCADA systems via network protocols.

C : They can store programs and data in non-volatile memory for high reliability and easy maintenance.

D : All of the above.

Answer: A

Question 3

A resistor is used in a current loop system to convert the current signal to a voltage signal that can be measured by an indicator or a controller. The value of the resistor determines the voltage range that corresponds to the current range. For example, in a 4 to 20 mA system with a 250 ohm resistor, the voltage range is 1 to 5 V, because V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. What is the value of resistance?

A : 50 ohms

B : 100 ohms

C : 125 ohms

D : 150 ohms

Answer: A

Question 4

What is the simplest technique for addressing the nonlinearity problem in machine learning?

A : dding higher-order terms of the features

B : Applying a nonlinear activation function

C : Scaling the features to a common range

D : Performing dimensionality reduction

Answer: A

Question 5

Which of the following statements BEST describes the difference between an alarm system and a safety system?

A : n alarm system alerts the operator of an abnormal condition that requires a timely response, while a safety system automatically takes corrective actions to prevent or mitigate hazardous consequences.

B : An alarm system records the video footage of the events occurring on the property, while a safety system uses motion sensors and other equipment to detect intrusions and notify the authorities.

C : An alarm system applies human factors and ergonomics to design an alarm interface that increases usability, while a safety system monitors and assesses the performance of the alarm system against predefined targets.

D : An alarm system creates a loud noise or flashing lights to scare away potential intruders, while a safety system contacts the homeowners or local authorities once the alarm sounds.
