Question 1: In a control system for a chemical reactor, what does a feedforward control strategy do?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It responds only to changes in setpoints

It uses historical data to predict future trends

It calculates the difference between desired and actual outputs and adjusts accordingly

It adjusts the process in response to disturbances before they impact the system

Question 2: When designing a control system for a chemical plant with multiple interacting loops, what is the primary challenge?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Managing the interaction between loops to ensure stable performance

Reducing the number of controllers used to decrease system complexity

Increasing the number of sensors to enhance control precision

Ensuring the system can operate without a human operator

Question 3: What does a PID controller do in process measurement and control?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It converts analog signals into digital outputs

It provides feedback to the process based on the difference between the measured and desired values

It isolates and filters noise from sensor readings

It adjusts setpoint values to match system output

Question 4: Why is temperature compensation essential during the calibration of a level measurement instrument in a chemical process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To standardize measurements across different materials

To adjust the sensor for atmospheric pressure variations

To ensure accuracy in fluctuating chemical reaction conditions

To account for the thermal expansion of the measurement components

Question 5: In PLC programming, what is the effect of a "reset" instruction on a process control loop?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It restarts the loop from the initial conditions, disregarding any previous output

It sets the system to a manual control mode

It stores the output data for future reference

It adjusts the loop's gain based on real-time conditions

Question 6: What is the impact of process noise on the accuracy of differential pressure transmitters in a chemical process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Noise can introduce fluctuations in the signal, reducing measurement accuracy

Noise can improve accuracy by reducing sensitivity to changes

Noise has no effect if the sensor is calibrated properly

Noise increases the sensor's ability to detect small changes
