Domain 1: Control Systems Design

1. A digital controller is used in a feedback loop for a temperature control system. The sampling
rate is reduced, causing some aliasing effects. How does this impact system performance?

o A) The system’s response time improves because of faster sampling.

o B) Aliasing can cause distortion in the feedback signal, leading to incorrect control
actions.

o C) The system becomes more stable because it samples fewer data points.

o D) It increases the system's accuracy by reducing the amount of noise in the signal.

Answer: B (Aliasing distorts the feedback signal, leading to improper control actions and potentially
system instability.)

2. In a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system, if the controller uses decoupling techniques,


what is the primary challenge that remains?

o A) Reducing the number of inputs and outputs in the system.

o B) Ensuring that the cross-couplings between inputs and outputs are fully eliminated in
practical implementation.

o C) Minimizing the power consumption of each actuator.

o D) Increasing the speed of the system’s response.

Answer: B (In practice, perfect decoupling is challenging due to real-world imperfections, such as sensor
noise and actuator limitations.)

3. Which of the following describes the disadvantage of using proportional-integral (PI)


controllers in systems with significant time delays?

o A) PI controllers are often too fast, causing overshoot and instability.

o B) PI controllers cannot handle time delays, leading to large oscillations in the system
response.

o C) PI controllers may not perform well in systems with variable load conditions.

o D) PI controllers increase energy consumption due to constant adjustments.

Answer: B (Time delays can cause instability and poor performance, especially with PI controllers, due to
the lack of derivative action to counteract lag.)

4. A control system operates under a significant amount of measurement noise. What is the
primary advantage of using a Kalman filter in such a scenario?

o A) It enhances the speed of the control system.

o B) It suppresses noise while estimating the system’s state more accurately.


o C) It increases the bandwidth of the feedback signal.

o D) It reduces the need for sensors in the system.

Answer: B (A Kalman filter optimally estimates the system state, filtering out noise and improving the
accuracy of control decisions.)

5. In an industrial automation system, what is the primary challenge when implementing


adaptive control strategies for systems with large model uncertainties?

o A) The inability of adaptive controllers to adjust to changing system dynamics.

o B) The risk of increasing computational load and system complexity.

o C) The difficulty in obtaining real-time data for model updates.

o D) The higher cost associated with adaptive controller hardware.

Answer: B (Large model uncertainties can increase computational load and complexity in real-time,
challenging adaptive control performance.)

6. A controller is designed to minimize both the rise time and overshoot in a system. Which of
the following methods would be most effective in improving these performance metrics?

o A) Increasing the system’s bandwidth.

o B) Using a PID controller with appropriate tuning to balance proportional, integral, and
derivative terms.

o C) Reducing the number of system inputs to minimize complexity.

o D) Implementing predictive control algorithms to anticipate system behavior.

Answer: B (PID controllers with correct tuning balance rise time and overshoot by adjusting the
parameters for the system’s dynamics.)
