Assignment Brief and Guidance

HNC/HND Engineering 2
Scenario:
As an electrical and electronic engineer you always encounter equations, problems and data that
need to be controlled and analysed in order to understand the results in a practical way. You are
working as an engineer in industry and you have to complete many tasks that you were asked to
carry out. A report must be prepared in order to analyse the results that you have obtained in your
experiments. From your practical experiences, you must analyse the results carefully using
methodologies that you have learnt in Industrial systems. This is enhanced by the fact that you
have studied this both theoretically and practically during your studies. Your report must be clear
and presented in a professional way as this will have a major impact on how the results are
accepted from practical experiences in the job that you are doing. All the tasks must be finalised
on time and the analysis must be thorough and convincing.

HNC/HND Engineering 3
LO1: Describe the main elements of an electronically controlled industrial system

Task 1
a. Describe the main elements involved in an electronically controlled industrial system. This

should ideally include an example to aid the description. You should also discuss and

justify why these elements need to be included.

b. Review the main concepts of electronically controlled industrial systems including types of

motors and discrete controls system as well as input and output devices used in industrial

systems. Your answer must show the diagrams that fully explain your reviews.

c. Examine the performance of an electronically controlled system of your choice. Give

justified recommendations that could be made to improve the product.

HNC/HND Engineering 4
LO2: Identify and specify the interface requirements between electronic, electrical and
mechanical transducers and controllers

Task2

a. Identify what type of circuit to be used when using a sensor to measure different physical

quantities and also explain the importance of a controller in a industrial control system.

b. Give justifications for the choice of transducers and controllers in a robotic linear motion.

Your answer must show the control method used and also the types of transducers used in

this linear motion and the reasons behind this choice.

c. Predict the behavior of pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical actuators by applying different

controlling methods. You must give your reasons for choosing any controlling method for a

particular application and ways to improve performance of these methods.

d. Critically investigate the behavior of different control system for passive and active

actuators and transducers as well as sensors for temperature and pressure control and

give a full comparison between the different methods including the limitations of these

approaches.

HNC/HND Engineering 5
LO3: Apply practical and computer-based methods to design and test a measurement
system

Task 3

a. Explain how a temperature sensor used in temperature measurement and control system

can be calibrated both practically and virtually.

b. Interpret the features and behavior of a chosen electronic measurement systems which

you encountered in your practical or simulation experiments. Use in your answer different

methods to find a solution to the accuracy and errors of these devices.

c. Using simulation, critically evaluate the performance of a measurement system which you

have used in the experiment that you have carried out during your studies and compare

both the ideal and real circuit. Include in your answer explanations of the errors and

accuracy of this system.

LO4: Apply appropriate analytical techniques to predict the performance of a


given system.

Task 4

a. Use computer software of your choice including Matlab, Simulink, PSPICE and

others to analyse the analytical techniques used in the chosen software in

controlling, motors, transducers and actuators. Your answers should explain the

performance of these systems and how these techniques compared to practical

measurements.

HNC/HND Engineering 6
b. Evaluate the features and characteristics of industrial control of induction motors.

Your evaluation should include analytical techniques used for controlling induction

motor and the limitations and advantages of these techniques.

c. Analyse the control of large stepper motors in industrial systems. Your answer

should include the appropriate analytical techniques used in this system giving

justification and recommendations in order to improve the performance of such

systems.

Guidelines for assignment submission

a. Assignment has 4 tasks. Please read all tasks carefully.


b. Final assignment must be submitted on time to be considered for a Distinction grade
