Q#1: Write and explain the types of Control system?

Ans:
Control system can be classified in two ways.

(1)Open loop control system

(2)Close loop control system

In an open-loop control system, the controller independently calculates exact

voltage or current needed by the actuator to do the job and sends it With this
approach, there is no feedback.
Systems that utilize feedback are called closed-loop control systems. The feedback
is used to make decisions about changes to the control signal that drives the system.

Q#2: What is the Difference between sequential control system and Motion control
System?

Ans:
A sequentially controlled system controls a process that is defined as a series
of tasks to be performed that is, a sequence of operations, one after the other. Each
operation in the sequence is performed either for a certain amount of time, in
which case it is time-driven, or until the task is finished in which case it is event-
driven. While the Motion control system used to control the electromechanical
system wherein things are moving. Motion control is an important part of robotics.

Q#3:What is the Difference between UART and RS-232?

Ans:
As the data always exist in a parallel form inside the computer, it must be
converted to serial data before coming out the serial port. This is accomplished with a
special Universal IC called a universal asynchronous receiver transmitte
(UART),which convert parallel data to serial data. On the other hand RS-232 is the
standard use to specifies the serial data interface between data terminal equipment
(DTE) and data communication equipment (DCE).

Q#4: The controlled variable in a closed-loop system is a robot arm. Initially, it is at

45°then it is commanded to go to 30°. Describe what happens in terms of set point,
feedback signal, error signal, and arm position.?
Ans:

The error signal is initially (45°–30°) =15°

This error signal causes the controller to drive the robot arm toward the 30° position.
When the arm reaches 30° our desire output or set point , there is no more error, so the
controller directs the arm to stop moving.
