HOMEWORK 1. INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL SYSTEMS
1. Give 5 examples of control systems and describe its operation. Identify the input and output in each
system. Write your answer on the table below. You can use another sheet if necessary. (5 points)
Control System Operation Input Output

CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INPUT OUTPUT

The picture from a digital
camera is sent to a
Printing of Picture From A computer. Then, the
Digital Camera Photograph Printed out
Digital Camera computer processes the
photograph. Finally, the
photograph is printed out.
The controller can be the
teacher, the process can
be the students learning
and the sensor represents
the assessment of actual
learning outcomes.
Learning Process Evaluation of the Goals Actual Outcome
discrepancy between the
learning outcomes and
actual learning is fed to
the controller to act
accordingly to reduce the
gap.
The controller is the
thermostat and air
conditioning unit, the

obtained by using an

produce data and this is
sent to the computer.
Data is received by the
computer and it is
processed. The processed
data is displayed on the
monitor as a graph. The
temperature levels are
printed out. This is one
form of output.

2. Devise a control system to automatically raise and lower a lift-bridge to permit ships to pass. No
continuous human operator is permissible. The system must function entirely automatically. (5 points)
