Question 1: What are the key considerations when programming a PLC for a multi-variable control system in chemical processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Limiting the number of variables involved to avoid system overload

Focusing only on single-variable control loops to minimize complexity

Ensuring that the system can process multiple input/output relationships and maintaining stable control

Ignoring process dynamics and relying solely on manual interventions

Question 2: In process control, what is the advantage of using a model predictive control (MPC) system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It adjusts control variables in real-time based on future predictions

It is not suitable for complex, multi-variable systems

It provides the most basic form of control for simple processes

It requires less computational power than traditional PID controllers

Question 3: How can redundancy be implemented in a PLC-controlled chemical plant to enhance system reliability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By simplifying the PLC program to reduce system complexity

By increasing the frequency of system scans

By using dual processors and I/O modules for backup

By installing additional field instruments

Question 4: During calibration of an analytical instrument used in chemical processes, what is the purpose of performing a "span" adjustment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To adjust the range of the instrument's output signal

To calibrate the instrument for temperature fluctuations

To align the instrument response to a known standard concentration or value

To minimize the zero offset error

Question 5: In a control systems design for chemical processes, what is the function of a real-time data historian?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To replace manual data entry by operators

To store and analyze historical process data for performance optimization

To automatically adjust setpoints based on historical data

To process control actions in real-time without storing data

Question 6: What is the main purpose of "data logging" in a PLC-controlled process system in the chemical industry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To synchronize all I/O devices across the control system

To store historical data for analysis, troubleshooting, and reporting

To monitor operator activity and track login attempts

To reduce the processing speed of the PLC
