Question 1: How does the use of function codes in PLC programming improve the control of large chemical processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They increase the complexity of the system by limiting the ability to customize functions

They restrict the types of devices that can be controlled by the PLC

They standardize commands for specific devices or processes, simplifying programming and troubleshooting

They slow down the response time of the control system

Question 2: What is a key factor to consider when calibrating temperature transmitters in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The ambient temperature of the laboratory

The number of sensors in the system

The type of thermocouple or RTD used

The cost of calibration equipment

Question 3: In the calibration of a temperature sensor, why is it important to use a calibration bath with known temperature values?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To verify the sensor's output against known temperature standards

To prevent drift in the sensor output signal over time

To ensure the sensor responds accurately to a wide range of temperatures

To minimize the effect of process-related temperature fluctuations

Question 4: How does the use of function blocks in PLC programming improve the efficiency of process automation in petrochemical facilities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It simplifies the programming structure by reusing standard functions

It minimizes the need for operator intervention in the process

It eliminates the need for input/output modules

It reduces the PLC scan time

Question 5: In a chemical reactor, why is it necessary to control the residence time distribution (RTD)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To minimize the volume of raw material used in the process

To maintain consistent product quality and optimize reaction efficiency

To ensure safe operation by preventing runaway reactions

To monitor the temperature of the reaction mixture

Question 6: In a chemical plant, what is the purpose of using a loop tuning process in control systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To adjust control parameters to achieve desired process response

To design the safety interlocks and shutdown systems

To select appropriate sensors and field instruments

To reduce the number of controllers needed for the plant
