The open-loop control system can be described by a block diagram as shown in the figure below.

Controller Process }—> Output
These are the systems in which the control action is independent of output.Ex: Traffic signals, washing machine and bread toaster, systems having no sensor, etc.
Advantages:
+ Simpie construction and design
* Costis less
+ Maintenance is easy
+ No problem with instability
+ Convenient to measure when the outputis difficult to measure
Disadvantages:
* These are less accurate, and their accuracy depends on the calibration.
+ Inaccurate results are obtained with parameter variations within the system.
+ Recalloration of the controller Is required fram time to time to maintain accuracy.
‘Stepper Motor:
+ A stepper motor is @ pulse-driven motor that changes the angular position of the rotor in steps.
+ Due to this nature of a stepper motor, it is widely used in low cost, open-loop position control
systems.
+ A stepper motor can also be controlled in this full servo closed-loop mode with the addition of an
encoder.
©: Additional Information
Servomotors
+ Servomotors are special electromechanical devices that produce precise degrees of rotation.
* Servomotors are also called control motors as they are involved in controlling a mechanical
system. The servomotors are used in a closed-loop servo system
+ A feed drive consists of a feed servomotor and an electronic controller.
+ The fead motor has certain special characteristics, like constant torque and positioning which
are done by servo-motors.
‘Synchronous Motors: in the synchronous motor the stator poles are wound with coils and the rotor is a
permanent magnet and is supplied with current to create fixed polarity poles.
Induction Motor: In the case of an induction motor, the stator is similar to the synchronous motor with
windings but the rotors’ construction is different.
Brushless DC motor (BLDC motor):
+ ABLDC motor isan electronically commuted DC motor which does not have brushes.
* Atypical brushless motor has permanent magnets that rotate around a fixed armature.
+ Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are well-suited for servo applications due to their high efficiency
and reliability, low rotor torque (which improves dynamic response), and linear speed-torque
relationship.
Closed-loop control system:
The open-loop control system can be described by a block diagram as shown in the figure below.Feedback network
These are the systems in which the control action depends on the output. These systems have a
tendency to oscillate.
Ex: Temperature controllers, speed control of the motor, systems having sensors, etc.
Advantages:
* More accurate
+ Nonlinear distortions are less
+ The output is less sensitive to parameter changes within the system
+ Bandwidth increases
Disadvantages:
+ Design is complicated
+ More expensive
+ May become unstable, if there are malfunctions in the feedback.
The field controlled system is an open-loop control system.

Option 2: Decimal
CAD/CAM MCQ Question 2 Detailed Solution
Drafting in AutoCAD)
+ The drafting refers to creating a technical drawing that communicates how something is
constructed or functions.
+ An AutoCAD drafter makes plans to create almost anything, from microchips and toys to
appliances and spaceships.
+ In AutoCAD, to specify the drawing units in @ new or existing drawing, the drafter should set the
units to decimal. Decimal unit set is the default unit system in AutoCAD.Pa

AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application, Developed
and marketed by Autodesk
AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with
internal graphics controllers.
Before AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe
‘computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a Separate graphics terminal.
‘Since 2010, AutoCAD was released as a mobile- and web app as well, marketed as AutoCAD 360.ee

CAD/CAM MCQ Question 5 View this Question Online >
Number of minimum control points required to generate a quadratic B-spline curveAnswer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 3:4
CAD/CAM MCQ Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Here, we got a little new type of question, so let's first understand the question itself.
* Control points term is generally used in the computer-aided geometric design system where
these area set of points used to determine the shape of a spline curve or, in more general terms,
a surface or higher-dimensional object.
* In term B-spline curve designation "8" stands for Basis, so the full name of this approach to
curve and surface design is the basis spline curve.
Now coming to the quadratic B-spline curve, we know that to design a quadratic curve in CAD we need
to fix 4 control points.
+ Two points need to be fixed at the endpoints of the curve section.
+ But there can be an infinite number of curves passing through those two points by rotating the
axis of the parabola
+ Then we need to fix two more points to arrest this rotation. Since the maxima need not lie in the
centre of endpoints.
Hence finally we require 4 control points to generate a quadratic B-spline curve.
A Mistake Point
Understanding with a simple analogy,
Let's say someone asked "Number of minimum control points required to generate a straight line’.
+ Since we can draw a straight line through just one given point, and in question the minimum
number of control points has been asked, so can we answer 1?
+ No, absolutely no, since one point is not fixing the straight line, there can be still infinite many
straight lines passing through the same point.
+ So, we need to fix one more control point so as to fix the straight line.
+ Hence there the minimum number of control points will be 2 for a straight line
Similarly,* With less than 4 contro! points, there will be infinitely many quadratic B-spline curves, passing
through those points.
+ With more than 4 control points, we cannot assure if there is at least one quadratic B-spline
curve passing through those points.
Note:
If the question mentions the location of 1 particular control point at the maxima or minima point, then
we need only 3 control points to generate a quadratic B-spline curve, but that is not the case here.

~ Numerical control is a method of controlling the movements of machine components by directly
inserting coded instructions in the form of numbers or letters into the systems.
+ NCis used extensively in small and medium quantity production.
+ The system automaticelly interprets these data and converts them to output signals. These
signals, in terms, control various machine components for example, by turning spindles on and
off, changing tools moving the workpiece or the tools along specific paths, or turning cutting
fluids on and off.
Direct Numerical Control
* Several machines are directly controlled step by step by a central mainframe computer.
+ In this system, the operator has access to the control computer through a remote terminal.+ In this way, the hancling of tapes and the need for a separate computer on each machine are
eliminated.
+ With DNC, the status of all machines in a manufacturing facility can be monitored and assessed
from the central computer.
