Control Systems in Everyday Life
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Security systemsPIR sensors can detect movement. Heat sensors can be used to detect human body heat.
- 2Automatic doorsPIR sensors can detect movement and open doors when someone comes near
- 3Traffic controlTraffic detection loops can turn traffic lights to green when they detect a car going that part of the road.
- 4Car parkingLight sensors on cars can sound a bell if you reverse to close to a wall. Car parks can also take photographs of licence plates of cars.
- 5GreenhousesHeat sensors can tell actuators to open a window if it becomes too hot.
- 6RoboticsPIR sensors in robots can detect movement to avoid human injury. Robots can also spray cars, lift heavy objects, put together parts of machines and travel along track around a warehouse.
- 7SimulationFlight and car simulators use actuators to move the simulated cockpit when a joystick or wheel is moved.
- 8Data logging advantages and disadvantagesData logging is more accurate and no one will forget to take a reading. However, the equipment can be expensive and could go wrong.
- 9Control systems advantages and disadvantagesRobots can be put in dangerous situations and do not need to take breaks. However, assembly line jobs can be lost and robot can be expensive to repair.
