Q1.

Develop a block diagram similar to Figure 15 of a supervisory computer control system for
the process illustrated in Figure 27. This is a firing operation for ceramic articles. The conveyor
motor speed setpoint is determined by the feed rate of articles.
Q2. For the process of Figure 27 under supervisory control, to obtain an increase in conveyor speed by
5% requires that the preheat setpoint be increased by 3.9%, the oven setpoint by 7.2%, and the cooler
by 4.4%. The speed increase must be performed in 1% steps with reacquisition of each setpoint before
continuing. Prepare a flowchart showing how computer control can provide this increase.
