PLC 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A PLC is a big computer | False |
| Does a PLC have increased Reliability and accuracy? | True |
| Plug-in compartments allow I/O modules to be easily connected and replaced | True |
| The programming device must be connected to the controller to run the PLC | False |
| A PLC is basically a mini computer designed for use in electrical control applications | True |
| Initially the PLC was used to replace relay logic | True |
| The number and type of I/Os cannot be changed in a fixed PLC | True |
| The scan time is the time required for one complete execution of the user program | True |
| The programming device must be connected to the controller to run the program | False |
| A PLC is basically a computer designed for use in electrical control applications | True |
| One disadvantage of modular I/O is its lack of flexibility | True |
| Removing the programming device from the PLC will not affect the operation of the user program | True |
| The instruction set for a particular PLC lists the types of instructions supported | True |
| The number of I/O points does not affect the memory size required for a PLC installation | False |
| Basically, the function of a PLC is to: | make logical decisions and control outputs based on them |
| Which is not an advantage that PLCs offer over the conventional relay-type of control system> | higher current capacity |
| The central processing unit: | looks at the inputs, makes the decisions based on the program, and sets the outputs |
| The output interface module connects to | load devices such as lamps or solenoids |
| The power required to operate the logic circuits of the processor unit is typically: | low voltage dc |
| When a field device contact connected to the input module closes: | a logic 1 is recorded in the memory location of the contact with the same address |
| Which module of the PLC connects directly to field devices such as pilot lights, motor starters and solenoids? | output |
