Q.1 (a) What is IOT? List advantage of IOT in industry. 03

(b) Explain with the help of circuit diagram and waveform how 04
TRIAC works.
(c) What are the various types of filled-type temperature 07
measurements? Explain any one in detail.
Q.2 (a) How pH measurement is done? Explain it in brief. 03
(b) Describe the role and elements of computer-aided 04
measurements and control with an example.
(c) What is Automation and explain different types of Automation 07
system.
OR
(c) Describe with neat sketches, the construction and working 07
principle of magnetic flow meter. Also discuss its advantages
and disadvantages.
Q.3 (a) Explain the benefits of computers in measurements and control. 03
(b) What do you mean by SCADA system? Discuss basic 04
architecture of and typical features of SCADA.
(c) List the different types of speed-measuring devices. Explain, 07
with neat sketches, the construction and working of any two of
them.
OR
Q.3 (a) Explain basic construction and configuration of pick and place 03
robot.
(b) Explain in brief (i) Rack bus (ii) MODBUS (iii) PROFI-BUS 04
(c) Explain working of full wave SCR circuit with waveforms. 07
Explain how to achieve trigger control using opto-coupler
Q.4 (a) List the system characteristics that need to be analyzed for 03
selection of a PLC.
(b) Explain net block diagram, construction and working of PLC 04
used in process industry.
(c) Develop PLC ladder logic diagram a motor control circuit has 07
two start and stop buttons. When any start button is pressed,
motor runs. By sealing, it continues to run when the start button
is released. Any one of stop button stops the motor when
pressed. The system seals on when the start is released.
OR
Q.4 (a) Why isolation is required in I/O Bus? Explain I/O Bus isolation 03
using opto-coupler.
(b) Explain benefit of using PLC for industrial applications. 04
Explain disadvantage of PLC over other microcontroller.
(c) The process system have two switches PB1 and PB2, two lights 07
Red light-R and Green light-G, one relay CR1. Draw PLC
ladder logic diagram to perform following process:
1. PB1 pressed: Red Light ON, Relay Energized and
Latched, Red Light continued to remain ON after
releasing PB1.
1
 2. PB2 pressed: Relay De-energized, Green Light ON,
and remain ON after releasing PB2, Relay Unlatched.
Q.5 (a) Explain in brief the supervisory tasks performed by DCS 03
system.
(b) Discuss in brief about the network access protocol that are used 04
as communication methods for distributed control highways.
(c) With the neat sketch, explain the construction and working of 07
distributed control system used in process industry.
OR
Q.5 (a) Explain features and advantages of DCS systems. 03
(b) Briefly explain as how software configuration is performed in 04
DCS system.
(c) Discuss about the various types of displays that can be achieved 07
using DCS for efficient monitoring of plant parameters.
