A) Complete the following sentences with the right word from the box
1 Actuators 5. Mechatronics 9. Switches
2. Digital-to-analog converter 6. Energy flows 10. Data Acquisition
3. Modulation 7. Signal conditioning 11. PLC
4. Sensors 8. Microcontroller 12. Information flow

1 Integrated sensors and microcomputers lead to smart Microcontroller.

2 Integrated actuators and microcomputers lead to smart Actuators
3 The process of Data Acquisition begins with the measurement of a physical value by a sensor.
4 A (n) Digital-to-analog converter is then often used to convert the digital value into an analog signal.
5 Switches are simple state devices that control some activity.
6 A (n) PLC is a simpler, more rugged microcontroller designed for industrial environments.
7 Mechatronics is a natural stage in the evolutionary process of modern engineering design.
8 Measured variables are the inputs for a (n sensor through the digital electronics resulting in manipulated
variables for the actuators.
9 A primary Energy flows into the machine and is then either directly used for the energy consumer in the case
of an energy transformer, or converted into another energy form in the case of an energy converter.
10 Signal conditioning is the modification of a signal to make it more useful to a system.
B) Read these definitions and complete the crossword below with the terms they identify.
Across:
2 ________ converter – a device converting an analogue electrical signal into a digital representation so that
it can be processed by a digital system
3 The science and technology concerned with the development, behaviour, and applications of electronic
devices and circuits.
4 ________ current – a continuous electric current that periodically reverses direction, usually sinusoidal
6 Process ________ – the branch of engineering concerned with industrial processes.
8 The science of designing, constructing, and operating machines.
9 Velocity ________ is a device, converting measured magnitude of velocity in a signal for the subsequent
transfer, registration, etc.
10 A device for measuring, recording, or indicating time; also a switch or regulator that causes a mechanism
to operate at a specific time or at predetermined intervals.
Down:
1 A single integrated circuit performing the basic functions of the central processing unit.
5 ________ current – a continuous electric current that flows in one direction only, without substantial
variation in magnitude
6 Industrial ________ – the practice of designing any object for manufacturing.
